Coachman

Being an athlete at Galatia has come with many joys and hardships. With all the love that I have gotten from this town there has still been hard moments. The lack of training resources has made me grateful for the things that are at my disposal. Coaching has never been a stable aspect in my sporting career, and the lack of outside interest has made me work even harder to be acknowledged. Even with the hardships i would never trade my life as a Bearcat. Training resources were never a major problem

When I was younger, I used to go paintballing pretty much every weekend or every other weekend. I used to play with people of all ages (7-30) and I was 10. We were assigned teams because of how many players were there. On my team I had 2 people over the age of 20 and two people over the age of 15 so I was the youngest. Everyone was new and didn't know what to do so I taught them all some techniques and tips I use to sneak up and beat the other team. I took the leadership role in that situation because

Emmanuel Mudiay looked up at the scoreboard and there was only three seconds left. They trailed by two points to the former state champions, St.Vincent Irish, who were led by their star freshman LeRoyal King. Mudiay then got the ball from the inbounds pass and tossed up a prayer, hoping to pull the upset on the Irish. As he fell down to the ground, he heard only the sound that mattered, a swish. Mudiay then looked back to the scoreboard and the score was now 71-70 and he was being carried off the

About halfway home from Vermont, my team and I stopped at a fast food restaurant along I-91 in Massachusetts. When we walked in and began to order our food, I saw that same coach sitting with his wife in a booth, seemingly enjoying their food. Being in no hurry, I stopped at their table, and simply offered my congratulations by stating: “Hi Coach. Good job today.” His response was something akin to what might come out of a Neanderthal era caveman. He never raised his head or made eye contact with

That one year everything started out great, so I thought. Then there was a rapid turn of events when I realized who my coach was. He was pretty good at convincing me that he really needed me on the team and that this year was going to be different than the rest, but that was not the case. One bad coach can ruin everything you ever loved about a sport. Suddenly, I went from loving volleyball to hating it. The first day of practice wasn’t going to be perfect, we all had to get back into the groove

Team captain. What does it truly mean? It means something different to everyone, but to me it means you have to put your best self forward at all times. A team captain must be there to help their team when needed. This year is my second year as the unofficial team captain of my section of Middleton High School Mock Trial team. It may be unofficial, but it is very important to me. I need to be there for my team when they need me. If they have questions, I need to be there to try and answer them or

Last year I started a new sport, cross country. I only did it because my lacrosse coach said that it might help me get better for lacrosse. So I went to the first late summer practice last year to see what this was like, so then we did warm-ups and a lap around the track. Then it was the first time I met coach Chase, My first impression of him was going to be very strict, But soon realized that this was false because of one of the first things he said. He said “I know there are a lot of nerves here

Someone has to pay for Erik’s humiliation at the football game because they messed up his plan. Throughout the book Tangerine, Erik’s character shows a person who is tough and doesn’t like his plan to be messed up and to be humiliated. When Erik and Mike had their first encounter, Erik said “Coach Warner knows what I can do. He can send anyone out there to kick a field goal. When I go out there, it’ll be the coach’s call.” (Bloor 21) Erik had a plan of being a goal-making placekicker. Yet, someone

Funding is also said to impact the particular athletes that agree to attend the university. As many athletes attending universities seek scholarship, because of the rising cost of tuition. For UC Irvine Track and Field, scholarships are stretched in an attempt to assist as many athletes the head coach feels should receive. The splitting of funding allows more athletes receive help. During Coach Carter’s years on the track team, she remembered only 1 of the 70+ athletes was given a full ride. According

Diane Stevenson Regent University LDRC 502 Leadership Coaching: Convergence Spiritual Life Coaching When we look at the role of coaching and how it speaks to a person’s spiritual life we first must understand the definition of coaching. Whitmore (2001) quoted Gallwey’s definition of coaching as “Coaching is unlocking a person’s potential to maximize their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them” (p. 8). There are several definitions of coaching that attempts
