Personal Narrative: My Role As A Coach

It all started when i was in fourth grade. It all changed what inspired me came by whole big dream that i wanted to be successful at. I was at school just a normal day, and it was times to go to PE, and my coach got out a circular ball that i had never seen in my life. It was kinda colorful, it had some weird word written on it, but i couldn't see from where i was standing. My coach handed us each one of these balls, and coach called them volleyballs. My coach told us what to do and what not to do, so i was at this net, and just gave the ball a high five because that's what he said to do. Coach came over to me, and kinda directed me through and told me it was called a serve. That day i went home thinking about it, and i decided i want to do

When a passion dies, it is the most heartbreaking thing there is. A coach who has killed my passion has their favorites, makes me feel worthless, and only cares about the girls who she thinks are the best. No matter how hard I worked in practice, it would never be good enough for them.

Did you know that 2 years ago I played in my school championship game ? We were at Chichester high school . We came out as nervous team shaking legs were non-stop on the bench the starters were even scared. We have not even started Kick return and the team was sweating I got to be honest my self I was scared myself ! I wasn't that scared though only thing i was worried about was Coach Ryan and his son Ishaad Maultsby. They came out all excited and they were coming out so flashy, Ishaad was treated like Cam Newton at the super bowl game !

It all started at the beginning of tryouts. The week of excitement and nervousness. Everyone was already making guesses on who was gonna be on the team. Then so it started, the first day was pretty easy and so was the next. The third was conditioning day, which was the worst. Then the last two days were fairly easy too. But those days were the most nerve racking. Those were the days when the cuts were made.

My mind was set to pursue a career in coaching after my undergrad. Leading into my first year as college football coach, I relied mainly on my personal and prior experience during college as a football player. I wanted to provide the players with support and guidance I did not experience having as a player. During my first year as an assistant coach, I managed to influence some players following my main objective in my first year as a coach. Going into my second year, I was promoted with my own position group, running backs (RB), to coach without having to shadow another position coach as an assistant. I was excited, passionate, and overwhelmingly ready to guide this group of young men into a spiritual, motivational direction using my personal experience and my prior knowledge of football to support my coaching goals and objectives.

The person that had the biggest impact on turning me into who i am today was my middle school coach.

How can my athltes recongnize that I am a Chrisitan Coach? Do you have a specific plan in place?

One hobby that I enjoy doing is playing soccer. I have been playing soccer since I was in the second grade. I originally started playing soccer for our local AYSO club. Unfortunately, before long I realized that my towns AYSO club wasn't very good. I always seemed frustrated with the AYSO team; therefore, I knew I wanted to switch teams. My family and others watched me play, and they said I was excellent. It was then, that I tried out for the Birch Run Elite travel team. Robert Oberski, a previous AYSO coach, was my new soccer coach. When I first started playing soccer, I was a forward and midfielder; now, I am a defender and midfielder. I have actually played all of the positions on the field, at one point or another. My current coach says

“Once you control the things you can control in your life, everything else will take care of itself.” My wrestling coach would tell me this before every match. This is one of the many things he would tell us that would help not only me but our entire team get mentally prepared for the task at hand. This is just one of the many things he did to enforce himself as the greatest leader in not only my life but the lives of others around me. What exactly makes a great leader? Is a great leader someone who is just good at everything? Not exactly. A great leader to me is someone who can influence others not only by their actions, but by their words.

My concern is the head coach we have for U9-10 kid pitch Unfortunately, I do not know his name because he has not addressed nor communicated with the parents. On the first practice, one of the kids' father (who has coached for the YMCA) started helping with the kids and started coaching because the head coach was not there. This is fine with me. I do know that he has baseball experience. The head coach has let the "assistant coaches", pretty much take over with coaching. The concern I have is my daughter is the only girl on the team. She chose to play baseball this season because she wants the challenge and plus she wants a trophy in all sports. Mr. Osborne, you and I both know, Deziray has determination, confidence, and play just as good as

Leadership was a word I was not familiar with when I started playing high school softball as a freshman. As the season started I wasn’t even aware that I had a role until the assistant coach said every player has a specific role that will impact the whole team as it progresses. This opened up my mind and made me realize that although I was just a young player who still needs experience in high school games. I was still being relied on by my teammates and coaches on my specific job on the field and the classroom. Although I was frightened with the role I had, I was supported by my family

The next part of my block that I be talking about is the future part. I am talking about this part because, some of the picture may not make any sense. My dreams and aspirations or so big that you can’t just fit them on a block but some of these pictures represent some of them. I want to start my own sports news media center. I want to be able to build my own platform to express my opinions and my friends opinions. I just don't want to be a common sports media person. I want to be able to feel like I created something. I want statue of me outside my building like a Founding Father of America. There is a picture of an apartment because, I want to leave in a downtown loft like the rich people in law and order live in. I have a picture of a

For eight years of my life, I spent a large majority of my time on the soccer field. Out of everything I learned in my time playing on team, leadership is my most valued skill. Generally, it’s always been very easy for me to work well and communicate with my, but when it came to being a leader I found this to be much more difficult but much more rewarding.

At the age of 41, I did not feel too late to realize what I like the most. It took few seconds to decide and dump my plum job of Program Director at global MNC. Mentally I granted myself a new designation of 'Executive Coach' - highly rewarding career only if I can get engaged for same time as my full-time job.

I dribbled the ball right at the last defender, just a young twelve year old looking to fit in with us older kids. He charged at me as a dribbled right past him and pulled up for a jumper to seal the 5-1 victory. Church basketball is always fun, but we never have enough people for an organized team. Unfortunately even if we had enough kids, my family doesn’t have the money to pay for special shoes or a ball.
