Head coach

athletic-administrator and as a coach, environments that soft skills such as teamwork, collaboration, and work ethic are stressed the most. Because of this, I am looking to take a leap in my career, by applying for acceptance in your Master’s in Athletic Administration Program. Throughout two years in teaching and four years coaching, I’ve understood the need to be a lifelong learner. When I got my bachelor’s degree, or when I attempted to run my first drills as a football coach, it amazed me how much I

First of all, the key roles of coaches that coach players from any age group that competes in any competition level is to be a good instructor and demonstrator. In order for the player to improve, the coach needs to be able to instruct and demonstrate to the player with the skills that is needed for them to improve. This is an essential role for coaches but it is more important for younger players and beginners as developing the correct technic is very important for someone who have just started

unstoppable. Coach Derrick, Coach Tony, Coach Perry, and Coach Darren had all led the team to multiple championships that year. Ever since the beginning, there had always been a problem with Coach Derrick. He had always thought his kid, Grayson was better than the rest. Grayson had taken my position at shortstop in my batting position and the line up. I was left to second base the second less likely place the ball could get hit too. On the baseball field I called Coach Tony dad. He was the head coach of the

had heard all about the coaches from Marcus Jerry, Corey Denson, Craig Davis, and D. Millines etc... I heard everything I needed to know about “Coach Bo”, before ever meeting him. Everyone said he was tough, but he was fair. Everything they told me turned out to be the truth. “Coach Bo” showed me how to be a man through football, Coach Rodney was a great coach and communicator, although he rarely raised his

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 to the coaches, there was a time when the athletes had to purchase their own running shoes

sports. A team’s win-loss record is just a tiny piece of the larger picture, but yet, that is what most parents and coaches tunnel in on, and they force their children to focus solely on this as well. Please do not misunderstand. It is okay for the coach and athletes to have a competitive drive. This is not designed to discourage competitiveness at all. In fact, my personal views on things like participation trophies, is that they rob our youth of the ability to cope with losses and failures (when

moved onto high school gymnastics and at same time the age group to start coaching there. Almost everybody who has done gymnastics at highland went on to coaching such as my very own coaches and teammates, and this year it was finally out turn. As a coach at this level I basically just help out with the younger kids and classes and soon I will move up to higher classes and maybe as a senior I will be coaching competitive teams. My first day was just a couple weeks ago, and I woke up at about 7:30 of

Testing became a key part of the strength and conditioning training development. Gym equipment was minimal due to the lack of knowledge with weight training in sports. The Houston Astros are a prime example of a newly implemented program under the head trainer Larry Starr. At first, the only “strength and conditioning” program they had was from a martial artist. They started utilizing the YMCA for equipment where they would train 3 times a week. The hard work showed significant improvements with

my interest in coaching. I want to teach young people the same things that helped me grow as an athlete and person. Although there are many great coaches out there who have inspired me, one truly sticks out more to me than any other coach. Phil Jackson was an NBA coach from 1978-2011. He worked with some of the most influential players to ever play the game such as Michael Jordan, Scotty Pippen, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal, and many others. He was born in Deer Lodge, Montana in 1945. He started

occasion a junior grade soccer game a child hit his head on the goal post knocking him unconscious and the coach didn’t have a first aid kit and had no idea what he was doing. This is why the US collage of sport recommends that all coaches should have a minimum level of qualification in sports first aid for safety reasons. Another company that supports this question is St Johns of Wales, this company have now began teaching every player, coach and staff member about emergency first aid because they
