The Current View Of Sports Coaching

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

Research proved that athletes found their coaches training as well as instruction behavior and their style of coaching did have an impact on individual performance. This was important research for me in understanding how those I coach perceive my leadership and whether or not I am effective as their leader. My teams’ outstanding performance or lack of performance can be a direct link to my type of leadership skills in addition to my training. The primary role of any coach or athletic leader is to help their athletes and improve on their individual performance. “Several sport studies exploring the coach-athlete relationship claim that effective coaching includes basic ingredients such as empathic understanding, honesty, support, liking, acceptance, friendliness, cooperation, caring and respect” (Moen, Hoigaard, & Peters, 2014, p. 76). The challenge for me is finding the balance between being supportive and meeting the individual needs of team members while also enhancing their ability and understanding of the sport. Understanding how to lead and coach various personalities within the team is essential to the team’s

Coaches should have sport specific skills as they need to understand certain technical aspects of the sport they are trying to teach. A coach needs to ensure that they have a good knowledge and understanding of their own sport and how the latest information in sport science can aid to develop performers, this is important so coaches can deliver demonstrations correctly and carry out good practice as if they were to demonstrate something wrongly then students could pick up bad habits by simply imitating and doing as their instructed. However if a coach is less knowledgeable in a particular area of sport they could use their transferable skills .

I have critically reviewed both coaches’ A and B comparing them to each other. I will use Gibbs (1988) model to help me reflective critically on the coaching shadowing I had to undertake as part of my Sport Studies degree with the University of Hertfordshire during semester A. The reflection is for both experiences with Coach A and B.

My role as a coach is to connect with, engage, excite, and empower athletes, regardless of their athletic ability, and I try to embody this in my teaching. Through past experiences teaching diverse students in Physical Education and Recreation at the University of Alberta in Canada, I have developed teaching methods that start with

This dissertation is focused on a case study which presents my coaching role as a Sports Practitioner, personal perceptions, experiences and performance when delivering sporting sessions to young people to adapt to different situations e.g... ages, abilities and needs etc… around Manchester throughout the summer of 2015 (8th July to 26th August).

Sports coaches can either operate in a professional or voluntary role depending on what coach you want to become. The price range for this particular job can vary from millions to nothing. An example of a high profile manager is Pep Guardiola who just recently signed a three year deal with Manchester City for 15 million euros per year. Skills required to become a sports manager include communication skills, motivational talks and speeches. Planning ahead of time, quick decision making, desire to want to develop those who are participating. Coaches can be made to work in many different environments from playing fields and tracks to gyms, in all kinds our weather conditions. Becoming a sports coach may have an impact on your personal life due

The coach sees himself as preparing people not only for achievement in sport, but through sport for a life of personal fulfilment and for the enrichment of community.

Coaching, however challenging, is a great way to influence the lives of others while also building their character. For as long as there have been sports, there have been people teaching the sport to the players and making them better at it. Coaches must have certain qualities in order to obtain success. One must also look at a coach’s motivation for his job, his passion for what he does, his methods for coaching, and how he became a coach in order to fully understand him. There are many questions someone may want to ask a coach about his profession if they are interested in coaching. Some questions would include: Why did he choose this as a profession? How did he get into coaching? What does one have to do to get a job as a coach? How

The DMSP model purpose is to identify a pathway for junior sports participants to follow. Therefore, its relevance and importance to sport coaches who wish to be successful is substantial. This model allows coaches to identify what category their participaints are in, which enables coaches to cater for individual’s specific training needs. The model identifies that there are three possible pathways that can be followed, each of which has varying characterisitics. The pathways are recreational participation through sampling, elite performance through sampling, and elite performance through early specialisation (Cote & Fraser-Thomas, 2007). Each of these pathways needs to be understood by sport coaches. As the ideology upon which the DMSP was constructed dictates coaches must be able to adapt their methods and philosophy to cater for varying stages of development. A representation of the different requirements for each pathway is exhibited by the varying amount of deliberate play and deliberate pratice implemented throughout each stage. O’Connor, (2009) states that through the sampling years coaches should be employing a higher level of deliberate play. Baker, Cote, and Abernethy, (2003) state that deliberate play is vaulble in this context as it develops player perceptions of competence, which Kirk, (2005) links to continued participation. O’Connor further expands on this notion by identifying that deliberate play aims to maximise enjoyment and creativity, which is

Their have been many developments in sport and coaching science (CS) over the last few years. Davies et al (1965) have suggested that the developmetns made are, in the field of sports science, mainly related to the changes in technologies. Smith and Wesson (2006) have indicated that, though changes in coaching science are not as easy to pinpoint the cause, changes in practice are most likely to be as a result of changes in the approach of many coaches to develop a more athlete centred approach. It has also been suggested that the development of media technologies has led to changes in practice. In this essay, I will identify the issues which have led to changes in these sciences, and weather they have been good or bad. I will then go on to

It is not unusual to encounter the term managing and coaching used in place of one another. Those who understand the difference might cringe a bit inside when this occurs because it is likely they have worked for, or with, a manager who certainly was not a coach, and consequently ineffective. More succinctly, coaching is a function of managing that every respectable leader of others must be able to do well.
