Coaching Philosophy In Boxing

1493 Words6 Pages

Introduction A coaching philosophy is based on our core beliefs, values and experience. Weinberg and Gould (2015). Whether it is realised or not, one always turns to these when making decisions; during sport is no exception. Many of our principles are derived from our upbringing and the authority figures in our lives. In the case of sport, it is the sole figure of the coach who determines what type of athlete is developed. Councilman (1977) believed that all coaches, including himself, have a philosophy towards their profession whether they are aware of it or not. This essay will further explore this quote with regards to boxing. Coaching Philosophy and Relationship Coaching style plays an important part in the development of a coach’s philosophy …show more content…

For this to happen, the coach must take into account the danger of the sport and his/her philosophy must reflect this i.e. time and effort must be sacrificed to ensure the athlete understands each movement and an interest must be taken in the athlete’s nutrition and wellbeing in order to prevent injury or illness. A boxing coach must address the fact that an autocratic (authoritarian, rigid, somewhat dominating) style of coaching may be the most suitable, especially in the case of inexperienced and young athletes. This is because without precise and measured movements and training drills, an amateur could get seriously injured. Bodo et al. …show more content…

Where is the line drawn between competition and aggression? Weinberg and Gould (2015, P.108) explored how it is not competition alone that arouses aggression, but the focus on doing whatever it takes to win “even when this means unfair play or injuring an opponent.” Although competition can be healthy and can teach people to work together to strive for mutual goals, without a doubt it can also skew a coach’s ethics. Foul play and cheating such as use of anabolic steroids, doping, corrupt referees/judges, bribing, violence (e.g. biting) and even medication, have become commonplace in sports competitions worldwide. Weinberg and Gould

    I believe that it’s my job as a coach, early on to figure out which coaching style is best for not only me but my players as well. I’ve had both command and cooperative style coaches and from experiences that I’ve had throughout my 13 years of playing football, I learned that as the sport of football is evolving, the cooperative coaching style is the most effective in my opinion. The reason I say that is because no one likes to be controlled and told what to do. Being a command style coach in today’s football world can be detrimental to your players because the players then sense that they can’t relate to you as a coach on a personal level. Unless your name is Nick Saban, who is viewed as a command style coach.
