My Personal Philosophy Of Coaching

thought that a coach is to stand up for what he or she believes to be true and right. Developing an athlete-centered approach to coaching, will allow coaches to make ethical and moral decisions for the well-being of their athletes, and create opportunities for success at all levels of an organization.

Coaching has been a big part of our history, throughout history there have been some great coaches/leader and there also have been some very bad/ coaches. An example of a great leader in history is Franklin D Roosevelt. An example of a bad leader in history is Adolf Hitler because of what he did. In history, what does it take to be a good coach and what does it take to be a bad coach.

While I start to get in touch with colleges and universities, I have come to realize how much grades matter when planning for my future. Academically excelling in school has always been something I have made a priority. Since my first year of middle school I have received highest honor academics, not just because I care so much about my grades, but also because I care very much about my work and understanding. I am very lucky to have a great school to get an education from. Thornapple Kellogg is full of great energy. Our staff and teachers are always around for full support to all students, and that is another reason I feel I do good in school. My teachers motivate me to learn all I can.

In order to be successful, there has to be someone that have motivated you to get up and

James appeared to need coaching at work. He gives the impression to be uninterested and unengaged. Managers had been over heard discussing his lack of organization and discipline at work. James was a very productive and effective employee under a different manger so he could be receptive to coaching. It is very important that the right coaching style be chosen for James.

Reflection is a necessary component in learning to regulate opinion, feelings, and actions. Reflection links experience and knowledge by providing an opportunity to explore areas of concern in a critical way and to make adjustments based on these reflections (Knowles Z., Tyler G., 2006). I will be using the Gibbs G (1988) Learning by Doing: A guide to teaching and learning methods (Davies S., 2012).

Leadership is defined as the ability to influence a group towards the achievement of a vision or set of goals. The source of this influence may be formal, as happens by organizational hierarchy. However, this does not imply that every manager is a leader or only managers are leaders. The ability to influence and motivate an individual may arise in any non-formal structure as well. Thus, a leader may arise in any field be it politics, social service or sports.

In the realm of sports psychology, there are two main theories of how coaching influences motivation, the Behavioral Approach to Coaching (BAC) and the Self-Determination Theory (SDT). Both theories work in different ways in order to increase motivation and produce desired behaviors from athletes.

According to Performance Coaching International (PCI, 2012) the concept of coaching has been in practice for as long as the human race has been in existence. In ancient Greece and Rome, skills such as running, archery, horse riding and gladiatorial skills were all extensively trained with a view of improving (PCI, 2012). Like many coaches today, ancient Greek coaches were former athletes themselves and helped the competitors of their day achieve personal excellence (Levinson & Christensen, 1996). It is often said that behind every good sports performer is a good coach. Barker, et al. (2007) states that this is true with many great coaches today, who have admitted that they would not have been as successful if they did not have a good coach to help mentor and develop them.

In this assignment, the main terms of communication in sport coaching will be discussed positives and negatives will be described also the key terms will be talked about and explained. Diverse ways of communication methods that a coach use to put his words out will be highlighted in this assignment. Coaches talk, read, write and listen beyond their interaction with the players in coherent with this they spend time on the side line communicating with parents. As a coach, you need to have strong communication skills to effectively teach and train. Being a good communicator can guide a coach to obtain great rewards. Communication can be both sent and received and is an act of transmitting or expressing ideas, information, knowledge

“ A coach is someone who tells you what you don't want to hear, who has to see what you don't want to see, so you can be who you always known you could be.” Tom Landry, one of the greatest football coaches of all time, said this is what it takes to be a coach. A research done on Australian coaches shows that “Coaching has the potential to play a significant role in shaping an individual and community’s identity, culture, and knowledge.” Coaches play a very effective role not only on kids but on adults as well. You can go to coaching for anything you need help with in life.

No one can deny that stress can be caused by many reasons. For instance, you may not like your job, money matters, quarrel with your boy or girl friend, stress is something that you cannot avoid.
