Keeping the folders in their lockers so that it is easy access and locker room discussions can be more meaningful with notes on the opponents. Giving each member an assignment before the match will be meaningful to the athletes and a motivation to try and complete the task that was assigned to them. A great motivator for teams would be for the head coach to give his team a great pep talk in the locker room and to get his athletes pumped for the match. Character Development Athletes with good character look confident, poised, trusting, relaxed and play with confidence. These are athletes who feed off of their coach’s style and who have respect and confidence in their coach. Coaches have a huge impact on their athlete in how they play and …show more content…
Coaches are advocates for their athletes so they should begin by being honest with them from the beginning. Coaches should never ask for special favors for their athletes or do whatever it takes to “win at all cost”. Athletes should be able to work their way to the top on their own or with the help of their teammates and family members. Coaches who do special favors for their athletes to keep them from not getting in trouble will only help these athletes to think that they can get away with anything. They can also hurt their player by making them think that they are not directly responsible for their behavior. These athletes will have a hard time adjusting to other programs that they enter because everything they got away with in the previous program did not help them be responsible for their …show more content…
During the season, concessions at home matches and football games seem to be the popular ways of fundraising. Other ways are t-shirt sales, hosting tournaments, car washes on the teams day-off, and having a serve-a-thon. Boosters are there to support the athletic teams. Parents and family members are encouraged to get involved with the booster club to help fundraise and support the team with whatever the need is. The booster clubs work closely with the head coach and are approved by the principal. Coaches will have no access to the funds but will give the members a list of what is needed for the program. The booster will help in any way to raise the funds needed to provide for the team. It is always great to have the support of a booster club. It allows for parents, coaches, and athletes to work together and keeping the communication line open with
BACKGROUND NCAA Team Works represents the ongoing community outreach efforts of the NCAA National Office staff, partners and local organizations. The Team Works brand was developed in 2012 with the goal of providing an umbrella brand to encompass all NCAA community outreach efforts. The NCAA has a corporate and social responsibility throughout the communities in which we host championships.

Specific NCAA Team Works projects include youth clinics, backpack and school
We helped organize the parking lots when the LPGA was in town. We visit the elementary schools in the area to be positive role models for the children. As a group of teenage boys, our team has an atmosphere that is very joking and fun; not leaving much room for serious talks if a teammate is going through a tough time. To make up for
Spirit Club helps organize and start fundraisers for school and make posters for any events that are happening. I’m also in Student Council and what we do is
The primary reason colleges and universities exist is to promote higher education to students and help prepare them for success in the real world. In order to keep this as the focal point of colleges and universities existence, it is important that monetary compensation for revenue generating athletes remain illegal. Although these students often have the end goal of playing at the professional level, education must be kept as the primary goal in colleges and universities. Without this focus, many athletes are simply using collegiate sports and programs as a stepping-stone to professional athletics with little regard for furthering their education. If these top tier athlete’s were given the opportunity to be paid thousands of dollars for their athletic additions to a program, there would be very little incentive for them to focus on their education.
College Athletes Should be Paid Working all day every week and never being paid is a nightmare to all. Who would appreciate breaking their backs and never reaping the reward for their hard work? Well college athletes do this day in and day out. Starting around their sophomore year in high school students start the long recruiting process, so that they will be on the scene when their senior year rolls around.
They work hard and long for absolutely no pay and are demand a lot, it’s not fair that these young students are being taken advantage of. It just like manipulating a child to do what you want, it’s wrong and unethical. I believe many others also agree with this situation. More and more people are starting to speak up against the manpulatualtion of college athletes in America as a result, I hope that one day in the future the young athletes of America would be treated justly and with
Sixty percent of college athletes drop out of school before they get through two years of college (Mcauly). Those 60% are the kids who think they should get paid to play, but they really shouldn’t because they are getting free education and even if they don't go to the pros they could put in some hard work to come out of college with a good degree. When kids are being scouted they are told that along with a free education they could (Mcauly). These kids aren't being lied to because they do, in fact, get some type of compensation, and these coaches need to be kicked out of the NCAA. This means college athletes aren't going to school to get a good degree, see the beautiful campus, or meet new friends, they want the money.

After a long day of practice as I wait for the public bus with my friend I found myself speaking of a certain event that occurred over the weekend, as me and my friend dig deeper into the conversation we spend quite a long time going over details of the experience and as the bus pulled up it seemed to us as we waited for a couple of minutes but as it happened to be we had been waiting for a little short of an hour as we were too entertained to even noticed the time we had been waiting .
Respect, respect, respect for your coaches, for your fellow team mates and for your opponent. You lead by example, you can’t ask for respect if you don’t give it. My family has always been hard on me about giving respect, no matter who it is to. Without the right amount of respect given, not much can be done. I have been a witness to it every year, a mister know it all thinks he is smart than the coaches and likes to run his mouth showing no respect and effortlessly paying attention.
These “amateur student-athletes” are held to professional standards and forced to place their sport before other academic pursuits, while their school benefits financially from their professional abilities. Basketball and football players, but in many cases, even on top of their scholarships, student athletes do not even have enough money to buy food. Full ride scholarships are not enough for many athletes, with full tuition paid for players do not receive and help playing for essentials of life like clothing and food. This forced “amateur” environment contributes to the large number of infractions committed by players. Another weakness is the
We have three different levels of teams—freshman, junior varsity, and varsity. We accept new members each year and train them, so within the next couple of years they become the experienced members of the team. With each team we have a coach—these coaches also shared the duty of being a coach for the other teams too in my case, but were dedicated to us when it was our time to play on the court. The typical case is mainly trying out and then starting as a player on the freshman team and making your way up till you are experienced enough to make the top level varsity team. That way as experienced members leave, they are replaced by the newer members who have been gaining experience to replace
Not only do these clubs recognize academic excellence, they also provide many opportunities for community service. Blood drives, food drives and Operation Christmas Child are only a few of the projects that we participate in throughout the year. I am
When the NCAA is throwing that much money at coaches, would it not be okay if the player got a couple thousands of
Athletes who play football or basketball are at a higher risk of career ending injuries. These two sports are the hardest on an athletes body. Only one out of twenty-five college athletes go pro, so why put your body at risk when you don’t receive anything for doing that and your chances of going pro are slim? A lot of these student athletes are stressed out because of schoolwork participating in a college sport. This is just another reason that these athletes deserve to be
These kids are participating in physical activity and making new friends with the addition of football programs. They will be given positive support and attention rather than individuals who want them to do bad. The kids will not only learn about football, but also core concepts of life. The programs will also guide them in making right choices and give them knowledge about the negative influences out
