Softball Relationship Building

Sports management is a really broad field, therefore I decided to focus on my minor and one of my major interests of this field: coaching. In this paper I will be explaining my personal five building blocks that make up a well-rounded coaching philosophy and coach. Those blocks are; leadership, organization, attitude, respect, and resiliency. Each of these five aspects are equally important and balance each other out. Leadership, the action of leading a group of athletes towards a goal. Organization, being able to organize a team and have a plan in order to help the team achieve goals. Attitude, it is very important for a coach to have a winning and positive attitude that is contagious to the players. Respect, there has to be a good

Though the practices performed within softball literacy do not immediately seem as if they should be considered a literacy practice, according to two of the six propositions about the nature of literacy, it is. Not only does it involve the physical performance from a play, but also includes formal writings, new rules and regulations, and offer different rules in different countries. For me, softball was something that has made me who I am today. Whether it be the welcoming community or the constant push to make myself better at the game.. Softball literacy is also filled with artifacts that make us a community within our team and a community with other softball players.

Coaching basketball is about strategizing and directing the movements and actions of a basketball team or individual player. Coaches strategize and scout opposing teams and find ways to defeat them as easily as possible. A successful basketball coach needs to now the understanding of how to play the game. A basketball coach must be able to manage the duties of the job by recruiting the top players, get them in shape, make a team, motivate players and teach them how to play the game of basketball. Coaching is usually done by a single person, with the help of one or more assistants. A coach is the face of the team, helping it achieve the public relations goals of the organization and build a positive image that will improve recruiting. (Edmunds). A coach is responsibiable for setting up and an environment so that the team can use its skills and abilities to their full potential. Therefor a coach has to make a game plan for each game, so that his team will be ready for the next opponent. A coach has to know his team and the opponent abilities to be able to match his team up with the opponent. A coach must know to mix the players who can start right away and players he can develop into starters. A coach may want to put 12-15 players on the roster just in case of injuries. To get ready for the season the coach starts putting in offensive and defensive plays the will run and teach the players situational plays to fit the team style and running practices. During a game a coach has

At their finest, coaches perfect their player’s flaws to push them to their potential ability, improve their skills, and create determination within the team. They can expand the importance of such a sport to intensify motivation and the value of good sportsmanship for the sake of not only their reputation, but the outcome that comes from it. Coaches must not lag when it comes to hardships that comes about; they must stay connected. The closer the connection between a player and a coach the better they are moving forward and continuing on the love of the sport and job.

This paper is going to be over the topic of softball. The history of softball, how it has changed over the years as well as the creation and invention.

As the level of competition increases among children, they begin developing their skills at a younger age. Recruits attend camps, showcases, home run derbies, and receive private instruction. Continually, parents think they must spend thousands of dollars for their child to play on a highly competitive travel ball team. Consequently, colleges begin recruiting at an earlier age despite the substantial amount of growth and change that occurs during the teen years. Therefore, in today's world of softball, if a player has not verbally committed to a school by the time they are a sophomore in high school, numerous division one spots have been filled and they are most likely out of luck for a scholarship. This problem of children aged 13 through

A person must have specific knowledge of the sport they desire to coach, because they have many duties that come with their job. “One of the main duties of the Coach is to put together a team of the best athletes available in the specific sport” (Field, 2012, p.115). Coaches and athletes both want to be successful. This is why one of the main duties of a coach is to pick the top players out of high school. It is hard to be successful if a team does not have the proper athletes. A coach’s duties will vary depending on the size of the school. At a small school a college coach could be responsible for not only coaching but also recruiting, scouting, finance of the team, and much more, while at a larger school a coach may have their own departments for each of those duties. The main focus of a college coach is to prepare his or her players

My project advisor is Greg Lanman who is the director of the Peachtree City Girls Softball Association. He has been on the PTCGSA board for around 4 years and has two daughters who have also played softball. Over the past four years, he has put in a lot of energy and time into the softball program from dragging and lining the fields during the seasons to working the concession stand. Mike Latham is the president of the Peachtree City Girls Softball Association board and would help approve of the decisions about situations with storage and distributing the equipment to the girls. He would also help find a parent volunteer to help maintain the program. Joe Serratelli was my softball coach for four years and has been a part of the PTCGSA community

Do you ever wonder the reasons why your team is always losing a particular game? Even though losing a game is a scenario that is frustrating, in the end, you might just say that there is always the next time.

If that is the case, then you might probably need some softball tips. Now, observe the equipment that your team has been using while playing.

Today is May 23, 2016, and my plans for the summer of 2016 are going to be fantastic! Okay so let’s begin, so first of all my summer is going to be filled with softball. I’m going to have tournaments all throughout the summer, long dreary practices, and long batting practice sessions with Coach Maggard. I already know it’s gonna be hard to squeeze in some fun, and some social time but softball is a sport that needs commitment and i’m willing to give it. So I have practice on Mondays, and Thursdays in Lake Wales. Every practice, we do 30 minutes of conditioning, then we throw, and after throwing the pitcher’s pitch and then defence fields the coaches or teammates hits, but on thursdays instead of this we go to the indoor batting facility for

“Not everyone is going to see or accept you for who you are, and you have to accept that.” I was told this quote everyday by my mother. Today was no different, walking up to the raked field, quote on my mind , eyes on the fresh red clay, and the sound of my metal cleats against the concrete. I was ready for this day. After months of hard work from November to February , the tryouts for Central softball team were over. Over the span of four months, I pushed myself harder than I ever thought I could, but what I did never seemed to be enough for the team.

Last is the athletes, their role is to follow the instructions of the coach and to work collectively with their fellow teammates to ensure victories for the season. (Langton 2015). Each person has a specific role in the organization, together they rely off each other knowing each one is doing their part for the good of the whole organization.
