The Role Of Coaching Process For A Successful Coach

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

Any durable coaching process must contain three elements: managing expectations (the game plan), monitoring performance (watching the play), and giving feedback (time out). Expectations must be agreed upon both in output terms and in terms of the behaviours demanded. The criteria for success must be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time bounded. (S.M.A.R.T.).

I think it is safe to say that the coach has several roles to perform; with the main objective being to develop the person being coached. 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.

One definition of coaching is “Coaching is unlocking a person’s potential to maximize their own performance.” (Coaching for performance, Sir John Whitmore 1992). Or to expand on this; Simply defined, coaching is one person guiding another through a process, leading to performance enhancement. The applications can vary, support to achieve a specific project, helping an individual to do better what they already do well, or developing a skill they don't yet possess.

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.

In addition to that, a sports coach needs to be a patient person because when dealing with others, it is often that many athletes do not reach the certain requirement straight on the spot and that can be very stressful. When that happens, the sports coach would have to start breaking down his/ her training and start analyzing why is the athlete not able to reach the target, it could be due to the intensity of the training, or it could be due to the athlete who does not have the will or breath to reach the target, or it could be due to many other reasons. Apart from being patient and analytical, a sport coach have to be energetic and also optimistic. A sport coach needs to be able to motivate their athletes to be able to reach a potential that can’t be seen by them but can be seen by the sports coach. When the athletes fail to complete a task, the sports coach would have to be optimistic in cheering up their athletes and to persuade them that they are able to reach beyond their current limits. To add on, the best sport coaches are those that are self-confident and self-determined. Athletes reflect their coaches, this is because whatever the coaches do and teach, the athletes would follow. When coaches portrays confidence and determinism, their respecting athletes would also portray confidence in their sports and also

I will inspire athletes to demonstrate good character. Sports do not have an influence on one’s character; however, coaches can strongly impact athletes’ character, both negatively and positively. For this reason, I will work to coach in ways that support the growth of athletes’ character and create learning opportunities and situations in which athletes can practice and learn from. As a coach, I will lead by example and demonstrate good character because actions speak louder than words. I will do this by embodying sportsmanship and respecting athletes, opponents, other coaches, and referees. I will also show this to athletes by respecting, caring, and being trustworthy. I will also lead by example by staying

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

Coaching is all about helping athletes achieve their dreams. It should be done positively and smartly and with passion. The positive coach and role model, following a well defined coaching philosophy will be a key ingredient in

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. My coaching philosophy I believe would hit many aspects and could teach athletes important values in their life.

Being a leader has many advantages and disadvantages. Could coaching an employee be helpful for all involved? Being in a management position there is the need to be the devil’s advocate and approaching employees in a delicate manner to engage in the conversation that something issues need to change. What is the definition of coaching when working with adults in a workplace? Do managers need to be coached on how to coach? These are items will be addressed in this essay for anyone who is in or is planning on being in a managerial role. All the skills needed to provide a safe and healthy work environment for every employee.

The coach will portray that mistakes are not acceptable and the athletes should make as little mistakes as possible. The coach will also show that he/she does not have patience for the athletes that cannot pick up the skills quickly. The coach will condition them if they make mistakes. The coach will have a very loud strong voice, demanding, and intimidating attitude. The coach will enforce fundamentals and skills that the athlete will need to be successful in the sport.

The coach tirelessly pursues personal education, formally and informally, both in the performance related sciences and in liberal arts. He sees the journey to coaching excellence as a never ending story; seen not only in terms of a chosen sport and coaching theory and practice, but in understanding how to successfully live a balanced and full life, while facing tougher and tougher challenges in the chosen field of endeavour.

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

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
