My first objective, I want Mary to discuss her perceived failures and setbacks. An intervention is for Mary to write down what she believes as her five biggest failures in her career development.

Coaching philosophies differ all over the world, from one sport to another. They are the central foundation to any good coach’s success in his/her respected programs. A coach’s philosophy does not only guide and lead the other members of the staff in the right direction, but it also allows each athlete to know what is expected of them, and how they should behave.

In the words of the great Nick Saban, "It 's about what you control, every minute of every day. You always have to have a winning attitude and discipline, in practices, weight training, conditioning, in the classroom, in everything. It 's a process."

1. After completing a semester of field education, what are three reasons you would like to pursue a career in social work: a.

My background and passion in life has always been working with the elderly population however, I accepted a position at DHHS working with foster care and child protective services.

I will also lead by example by staying

What is a coach? Webster dictionary says a person who teaches and trains athletes, a person who teaches and trains the members of a sports team and makes decisions about how the team plays games. What makes a good coach? Is it wins? Bobby Knight has 902 wins and many question his coaching tactics. Becker*The all-time leader in NCAA basketball wins is Harry Statam of McKendree, he has 1,088 wins but no national championships. Mike Kryyzewski has 1,018 win and 5 national championships. So what makes one coach better than another? How and what criteria can we use to measure? Can a coach with a losing record still be a good coach? Are all coaching with winning records good coaches?

This writer’s best friend is completing her Master’s in Psychology, and we had this discussion of life coaches’ qualifications.

Through time with clients I would work to help the client in self-discovery in regards to their mental state, whether it is good in many areas or if it needs to be improved.

With these objectives in mind, I would hope that the place that my career takes me is a stable and person centered journey. My first goal in counseling is to be a lifelong learner, continual taking classes, attending seminars, and reading books to improve my knowledge and skills.

For the coaching observation project I observed the head coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes, Urban Meyer. I watched him on TV when Ohio State played Penn State. The reason I selected Urban Meyer to do my coaching observation is because he is the coach I decided to model my coaching philosophy after. The reason I chose this game specifically is because this is a very important game and I want to see how he handles his team in high-pressure situations.
