Sports Coach UK (2008) agreed that it was in need of professionalization because of Britain

This can be achieved by increasing self-confidence, identifying relevant and suitable topics for coaching as well as agreeing the setting of suitable planned tasks to support the learning process.

Experiencing a coaching management style will ease some staff into this method of communicating without the need for all of the planned coaching and mentoring programme. The session about using the GROW model or different coaching styles could be combined depending on the needs of the staff. Flexibility will be required with the implementation.

This assignment will involve me discussing the roles, responsibilities and skills of two sports coaches, Alex Ferguson and Linford Christie.

Many of my life’s most significant events coincided with my coaching career. I opened a business, went back to school, and even met my wife. It also marks the period of my life when I began a maturation process, albeit several years overdue. Prior to the start of my coaching, I stumbled from one phase of my life to another, my immaturity and lack of direction fueling each other in a vicious cycle. While coaching may not have been the event that triggered my maturation, it certainly signified the beginning of a new era in my life, an era punctuated by a renewed understanding and appreciation of the same traits I worked to pass onto my players. During

For me to be an effective coach I will need to initially build rapport, develop coachee skills and knowledge, increase my observations, analysing, Facilitating the coachee’s thinking to enable a fresh perspective, providing feedback through listing and questioning the coachee to enhance performance and job satisfaction. This will lead to the team having a better clarity of the purpose, they will feel more valued, motivated as well as becoming more self-reliant.

A concept of learning that is unavoidable; the experiences posed come in various forms. My coaching skills and abilities, regardless of my limited experience has unquestionably progressed in the right direction. Primarily due to reflection, I have been able to establish new skills, confidence and understanding of the theory and practice of coaching. More importantly, I have gained valuable life skills and an enhanced perspective that I think will promote my future development.

Coaches are not true to themselves for many reasons. These include the goal of winning at all costs, bowing to pressures from parents and other outsiders, or even attempting to mimic the supposed successful methods of other coaches. While many of these influences can result in positive coaching delivery, they have to be taken into the context of the coach 's true experiences, values, opinions and beliefs. It is imperative to appreciate that the coach has a strong influence over the athletes he or she coaches .

The benefits for using coaching supervision are easy to identify including improved coaching quality, increased coaching capability and greater value. These benefits have multiple

The majority of AYSO's organization is comprised of volunteers from all over and because of this, AYSO cannot afford to have a training program that does not work successfully. When a volunteer signs up to be a coach, the organization cannot expect all of them to be experienced with soccer. Due to this, the training program needs to be adaptable to all skill levels. With the only training a coach goes through is a small class usually held at the region and two or three online classes regarding ensuring the safety of players but not regarding the depth that most games go to. This may be enough for a coach who is only planning to stay for a year and is familiar with the sport but if

Sports have been a very big part of my life ever since I can remember. I began to participate in sports when I was about six years old. Now, thirteen years later, I’m a sophomore in college playing basketball at a Division 3 school. Through the years I have seen many different styles of coaching and teaching done by my mentors. The variety of different styles and how each one taught me throughout my years is astonishing to look back at.

When someone is first introduced to coaching it is important that the coach gives an overview of the coaching process and the role of a coach within this. It is important to set the ground rules and all both parties to meet expectations set.

When setting up a coaching session a way in which the coach can ensure that the coach carries out the coaching relationship in a professional manner, is to set up a contract with the client prior to the start of the relationship. This may be either written or verbal but should include both the coach and clients expectations, responsibilities if the worst fears materialise, it should also include the issues of confidentiality, boundaries and professional and ethical conduct.

Taking the time to reflect on why it is someone coaches is beneficial for personal growth, and for creating an awareness of one’s changes in motivation, which affects behavior. Therefore, changes in motivation can be reflected in someone’s behavior and his or her well-being. Those who feel that they are coaching because they want to, will be successful, and feel that coaching allows them to acquire relationships with their players, and display more motivation for coaching. Being aware of why someone coaches their sport is an important part of reflective practice. One person’s
