Teri Keever Coaching Style

The person I coached actually graduated from Rutgers University with a Sports Management major and coached in my old high school, Passaic High School. His name is Angelo Gomez and he coaches girls and boys volleyball sport. Angelo Gomez really enjoys his job and enjoys working with high school students because he believes he has a lot to offer.

Overcoming the fact that one day you will not be able to play your sport is one of the hardest things all athletes must one day go through. It is a fact of the game that one day your eligibility runs out or if you are one of the lucky few who play professionally, your body’s years of health do not last forever. Coaching just to be around the sport and spread the joy that sport gave you for so many years. My coaching philosophy relies extremely heavily on this information. I have always been a person who is passionate about the things I love because I do not believe in not putting your whole heart into something. The most critical component to success in whatever sport you love lies in honoring the game that so many before you loved and excelled at. Excelling and honoring the game means having respect for everyone involved with the sport. Giving respect to your coaches is something I learned from the beginning. Being respectful and having a positive attitude learned at a young age is something completely taken for granted until you have adults who can neither adapt nor be flexible when something does not go their way. Sport is a form of education in that it teaches you similar life lessons that will be useful for far longer than the amount of time that you spend actually playing it.

It all started with an email seeking freshman male in his coaching and administration program. The 2012 graduate of UConn’s Sport Administration and coaching program, William Aloia, says this future success as the Associate Athletic Director for The College of St. Rose started out by almost” falling into his lap”. The New Jersey native began his undergraduate experience with two Division-I parents, and like an abundance of people he knew that working in sport was something he wanted to do. Previously a part of the Kinesiology department under the late Joe Marrone, Will jumped on the opportunity posted through an email and started his freshman year as a basketball manager for the very successful UConn’s basketball program. He explains how this experience “opened his door up”. Will states; “once I started at UConn working with the women’s basketball program and being around collegiate athletics at such a high level it’s really something in itself, and unbelievable experience. I knew it was for me, I didn’t know which part for sure, but I knew this was something I wanted to do.” What Will realized very quickly realized about working in sport is that often times it is a thankless job. However, that did not stop him from finishing his undergraduate career as a four-year manager for the basketball team. The motivation for Will early in his career has been a two-dimensional illustration of success.

According to the online Sports Management Degree Guide, “ Pat Summitt the head coach of the University of Tennessee’s women's basketball team is a hugely influential to female coaches and players across the nation. During her nearly 40 years of coaching, Summitt achieved the record for the most all-time wins for a coach in NCAA basketball history both for men’s or women’s! She led the Lady Vols to an amazing eight NCAA championships, the most of any female coach. She remains the NCAA basketball coach with the most career wins, and was the first coach to achieve 1,000 wins. Plus she only had 208 loss in her 38 years of coaching and she ended her head coaching career with 1,098 wins”. Summitt proves that this stereotype is false because she achieve these goals by showing everyone that females can coach and also win too. There are also female coaches that win in the high school level like Judy Shaubach head coach for the Madera High School Varsity Softball team. In 2015 and 2016 Coach Shaubach led the Madera High softball to back-to-back valley championships against the defending champs Redwood Rangers and Monache Marauders. According to Mark Tennis, “She’s approaching 600 all-time wins since 1989. Add it’s all up and Madera’s Judy Shaubach gets the nod as the State Softball Coach of the Year. She’s also the first from her section to earn this honor since 1981”. Even though Coach Shaubach is a female she still proved that females can coach and if they do try they can win as well.The person I interviewed was Coach Shaubach head coach for the Madera High Varsity Softball team and graduate from the University of Fresno State home of Bulldogs to get more information on what it is like to be a female coach and how people view her. I asked her, “How does it feel being a female coach winning coach of the year’’? She said, “that was an

Imagine taking one step into a chlorine-filled arena. The humid air rushes onto your skin. An immense smile spreads across your face. This is because you know everything is about to change. In less than 24 hours you will be holding a glistening gold medal in your hand, standing up on the podium while the Star Spangled Banner blares for the whole world to hear and tears will stream down your face. Taking one look back at your coach, Teri McKeever, you realize if it wasn’t for her you would not be here. Graciously, you run up, swing your arms around her body, and embrace her in a powerful hug that says it all. Swimming is a very intense sport and consumes every second of a swimmer’s free time. However, putting in hundreds

In the world of sports, men have traditionally tended to be the leaders on the court or on the field. This statement is particularly true in terms of coaches. However, at one college in East Tennessee, the coach’s name that is synonymous with greatness is that of a female. Pat Summitt, arguably one of the nation's most renowned and prestigious coaches in all of NCAA women's basketball, lived an interesting life that was cut short by the devastating illness of Alzheimer’s disease.

With the right influence, communication and skill development is the key to a valuable coach. Without my two outstanding high school coaches, I wouldn’t have the love for basketball and track the way I do today. They have taught me everything I needed to know for the present, along with tips for the future. Coach Lewis and Coach Kohler have done more for me than what I’ve ever deserved and I will never be able to pay them back for all their help and encouragement. But I hope they have understanding of how much of a change they can make on someone's life, someone's life like my

I first met Coach Baker in junior high when she coached me in volleyball. I never excelled at the sport, so I was on the B Team, but I always admired that she cared and pushed us just as hard as she pushed the better players. In high school, it was never any different. My freshman

Pat Summitt has arguably paved the way for not only women coaches in the industry but being the face of the Title IX movement that

I am thankful for that coach, because that coach taught me how to prove people wrong and work hard for

Some people would agree with the idea of Melissa Zevada not coming back to coach at SHS, however, I strongly disagree. Zavada has been a mentor to many students, as well as played basketball at Ashford University, Blackhawk East, and IVCC, went into the Navy, coached and played basketball in the Navy league, and graduated from college with her Masters. I have a thousand more reasons she should stay as a coach for basketball but I only have time for a few.

McKenzie Jackson, the author of “Former MHS player named best coach”, writes about how Hayden Goldberg, a former student and water polo player at Malibu High School, was named Tri-Valley League Coach of the Year for the MHS water polo girls’ team. A previous high school coach, Mike Mulligan, notes his natural ability to lead and coach, his admiration for the game, and his respect for the players. This article relates to the theories presented in class relating to leadership and sport.

To her the goods about coaching are being able to share your knowledge of the game with the players and just see them work hard to get better every day. Having to work hard also comes with this job; you have to make practice schedules and be up early and be able to do the best to your ability as a coach. One thing she said she would never stop doing and that is working hard. Also when talking with her about continuing to work hard, Moore said she would like to become a head coach of a college team in the future.

If you want to be successful, you have to be willing to do the little things that will help you go a long way in

The past two under Don Gauthier. Ironically the Varsity Basketball Coach. One priceless thing I have learned from the man is, sports and athletics will long be gone one day, but you will be working for the rest of your life. Make your career something you love to do everyday so it does not seem like a job. This has really stuck with me, especially as a soon to be graduate. I want to go and study about something I know I will love to do for the rest of my life, not just something that may have a high pay or amazing perks. He really helps me keep my head straight and focused on the real goal… Life. Without him in my life, I really can not tell you where I would be right now. Although high school sports only last a maximum of four years, they really do make a major impact of your career
