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.

Through his years of playing and coaching, John Wooden has become a wise man and has gained high-priced knowledge. Sharing his success with others, is one of Wooden’s main goals.

Losses are not always terrible; they can help you learn from your mistakes in order to be able to execute better the next time. Wooden says “much as I hated to lose...this defeat was beneficial” (Wooden 155). With success, comes defeat. In order to succeed, you may need a few setbacks. Even though you might be fighting your hardest, you still might come up short, and that is acceptable.

It goes without saying that coaches and many of their student-athletes are highly competitive individuals. I know from my time as a student-athlete, along with eleven years as a coach, that on game days I was a little bit edgy, tunnel-visioned, and ready to compete. Competition, after all, is what makes sports exciting; it keeps the games fun for the players & coaches and exhilarating for the fans. However, there is a balancing act that all coaches and athletes face between having a ferocious will to win, while also displaying appropriate body language, speaking the right words, and being a part of a positive team culture.

Coaches are not true to themselves for many reasons. These include the goal of winning at all costs, bowing to pressures from parents and other outsiders, or even attempting to mimic the supposed successful methods of other coaches. While many of these influences can result in positive coaching delivery, they have to be taken into the context of the coach 's true experiences, values, opinions and beliefs. It is imperative to appreciate that the coach has a strong influence over the athletes he or she coaches .

The article also highlights the responsibility of sharing successes and failures between coaches and athletes. Comparing this week’s work assignment to this article, I notice a linkage of several items. The comparable list consists of emphasis on providing support, team management, leadership style, development levels, and advantages of engaging others.

Winning may not always be the answer – but when it comes to intercollegiate sports, winning games is the only measurement one can make of a team’s success. A coach must win games in order to keep his professional position, and a each player must effectively fulfill his or her role in order to make this happen. The foundation of any college team is the individual dyad relationships between the coach and each of his players. Through symbolic interactionism and its sub-category social exchange theory, an in depth analysis can be done of a male coach-female athlete relationship – where the cyberself, the core principles of social interaction, a cost and benefit analysis, and both physical and psychological relational currencies can manifest

First, while playing sports athletes build character, even when not earning a win in his or her contest. Not one human in the world is perfect, even when participating in sports. Therefore, one could assume that those participating athletes will mess up and be corrected by a coach. Being exposed to constructive criticism, and the heated situations that these

The goal of this paper is to examine and analyze three motivational sport speeches. In a Rhetorical argument there are three basic approaches. The first speech is Remember the Titans, in a school where racism divides and football unites. Herman Boone has an important role and all it takes is a great speech to get the job done. With the battle of Gettysburg coach Boone inspires his troops by evoking the spirit of fallen soldiers and explaining the dangerous of hate. It is a short but sweet speech that drives the point home which is to learn how to play like men and win. The second speech is Miracle by Coach Brooks. By now everyone knows that the American’s were not supposed to win the Men Hockey Gold at the 1980 Olympics. Along the way coach

Coaches try to Impel an edge by trying to pick apart what their next opponent does best and what they have trouble doing. Coaches will tell whoever asks that they spend more time preparing than coaching. Jon Gruden, a sports commentator and former coach, is my mentor. Reading his book, I learn that that he eats dinner watching film and wakes up drinking coffee and watching film. Gruden adds, “I’m up at 3:17 most days and that includes home and away games.”

Analyzation of factors that affect the players overall performance and participation but also the improvement the player could make during activity. Preparations are psychological need for most players as such they have different types of preparations which involve the mindset of the individual, having a positive attitude towards your actions and mistakes can lead to increase in performance in which players tend to maintain high level of self-motivation. Players tend to set goals for them in which they can achieve in a certain amount of time; these goals may include techniques or even fitness challenges. Positive mental imagery is a technique the player uses the illustrate to himself he’s skills and how he will apply them to the game, without maintaining concentration this would cause the player’s anxiety to go unstably high causing a defect in his technique. Motivation is a large factor regarding a player’s performance; this motivation can be passed on Extrinsic or Intrinsic.

Transformational and transactional coaching styles affect program philosophy so coaches must learn the difference between the two. A transactional coach exhibits selfish behavior and will put their needs above others. Due to this selfish behavior, the transactional coach will follow a course that will give him the most benefit without regard to his players. For example, winning benefits the coach by feeding his ego, so the coach may use players just to win more games. After playing for several transactional coaches, Ehrmann (2011) wrote, “they ignored athletes developmental needs and often manipulated and distorted the values of winning and losing” (p.7). As a result, the transactional coach disregards any long-term benefits of playing the game and makes decisions for the short-term benefits such as winning. With this mindset, a player-coach relationship does not become a priority and takes on a secondary importance. In fact, how well the player performs may govern the player-coach relationship. Lastly, a transactional coach tends to use extrinsic motivation that uses rewards and punishments to achieve desired outcomes.

While within the Rose Bowl, Paul Chryst talked about how the Wisconsin Badgers’ overwhelming offensive size matching up against Texas Christian University’s speed-based defense (Thamel, 2010, pg 1). This is an example of how the “old-school smash-mouth” based players is transforming into a modern speed based team. In today’s age of football, speed is the most important factor. From recruiting, to the NFL draft, coaches are scouts are looking for players with good 40 times. The game has been changing in many ways within the last ten year. A lot of which may account for gear such as: pads, helmets, clothing and footwear.

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.
