Joe Sanchez Philosophy

He goes on to talk about how one of his teaching methods at a high school was improving but not to his standards. He created a system that had students more involved in learning how to play properly. He had many students participate in it. It started working out but still wasn't what he was

I have been fortunate to be the recipient of untold hours of guidance of my own coaches and mentors. I can only imagine the sacrifices they have made- time away from family and fatigue just to name a couple. As a result of their investment in me, I have had innumerable opportunities, not the least of which will be the opportunity to attend Rice next fall and play baseball for the Owls. I am doing my best to apply the lessons I've learned through Wylie high school sports, to my life and all the lives I touch through service. All of these lessons impacted my life immensely and will follow me through

Mr. Chambers’s presentation was highly informative and relevant to our class coursework. Learning about his educational background gave me great insight into what it would take to become an Athletic Director on the collegiate and high school level. It is always interesting to learn about the different life events and opportunities that shape where an individual ends up on the professional level. Mr. Chambers had a friendly, laid back style of delivery that was easy to listen to. Having someone from the community who is experienced in the area of athletic administration helped me to make connections between course material and the real world.

Mrs. Cedeño has always been an effective teacher and coach. Her preparedness in the classroom and in the gym has always been impeccable. Her attention to detail and dedication helps her students stay on track

Coaching philosophies differ all over the world, from one sport to another. They are the central foundation to any good coach’s success in his/her respected programs. A coach’s philosophy does not only guide and lead the other members of the staff in the right direction, but it also allows each athlete to know what is expected of them, and how they should behave. By being aware of a coach’s philosophy, the athlete is fully responsible for his/her actions both on and off the field of play. In the words of the great Nick Saban, "It 's about what you control, every minute of every day. You always have to have a winning attitude and discipline, in practices, weight training, conditioning, in the classroom, in everything. It 's a process."

My topic is similar to yours. I have always been intrigued to examine the relationship between coach and athlete. In my experience, I have found coaches who provide positive support and are constructive with their criticism are more enjoyable to play for and give the athlete a more positive experience. Coaches that come across as condescending seem to push kids away from the game. It is important that the student-athlete has a positive experience, especially student-athletes at a young age. I feel if a student-athlete has a negative experience at the interscholastic level he or she will be less likely to stick with the sport.

I am not a native Texan and I have been an educator in Texas for over 12 years. I have coached at schools from 3A to 6A and from Houston to the DFW area. I have seen and heard some great things that we coaches as well as schools do but at the same time I have seen and heard some horrible things. Unfortunately we are losing great coaches to administration positions and to the private sector due to the long hours and insufficient pay. We as coaches have a great privilege of educating and coaching these young student athletes to help them prosper in their present life as well as in their future. We have the opportunity to see our athletes every day in our athletic periods but some do not take advantage of it.

“Everyone in society should be a role model, not only for their own self-respect, but for respect from others.” ~ Barry Bonds. In this world bad situations occur frequently and it takes a good strong person to handle them in a mature way. Dealing with them this way not only shows that the person has self-control, but also makes them a good role model for people to look up to. In the book The Chosen, Chaim Potok uses Mr. Galanter to express his opinions of a good role model. Acting as a baseball coach and gym teacher, young boys look to him for guidance and motivation every day. Having this kind of position causes stress at times, and requires him to stay calm and level headed. Throughout this book, Mr. Galanter

When I went to Pike High School I participated in an activity called color guard for four years. Color guard is a performing arts activity that incorporates dance while using flags, rifles, and sabers. When I began this activity I barely understood what I was getting myself into. Our team got abandoned by our coach for most of the winter season my freshman year, so our show was pretty awful. We went to competitions with expectations of losing and embarrassment among our peers. At this point everyone was discouraged about how our winter season ended. It was not far to the seniors who gave their whole high school years for this activity. Something had to be changed to in order for our team to progress in the future. Second semester our guard Director, Mr. Emmert, hired Nick Bledsoe as our new coach. Though he was a skinny short white guy with blond hair something about him was intimidating. He walked into the guard room like he owned the place. He sat up with such a great posture that I straightened up from my usual slouch. The seniors did not like Nick too much, but their only wish for him was to not give up on us. From that day forward Nick dedicated his work towards our team regardless of how challenging it was to manage. My guard coach Nick was amazing because of how passionate he was about his profession at my high school.

I interviewed Mrs. Jennifer Pickens who coaches Cross Country at Salem Lutheran School. She has invested time into growing this program at a school that does not have a wide variety of sports options. She has expanded the program due to hard work and volunteerism. One of the most important things I gleaned from this interview became apparent almost instantaneously: in order for the culture of an informal education setting to work, the right attitude must be present with the leader.Mrs. Pickens explained that her“ priority as a coach is for the team culture to be positive”. She achieves this by

Ever sense I was a young girl I’ve been really into physical activities. At the age of five I started skating and instantly fell in-love. At the age of six my dad enrolled me into hockey, and from that point on my life has never been the same. I’ve had numerous opportunities in sports such as: winning gold and silver for U18 Team Canada hockey, and getting a scholarship to Wisconsin University to play on the women’s hockey team. Although these moments are surreal, it is not only the moments that I remember but the mentors and teachers that I have been fortunate to meet along the way. These coaches have not only taught me the game but have also taught me life values such as: teamwork, leadership, discipline, time management and much more. Without hockey, and sports in general I don’t know where I would be today, but I do know one thing and that is without sports I wouldn’t have met all the amazing people that helped guided me towards wanting to become a physical education teacher. Sports have always been a huge part of my life, and I am blessed to have sports guide me through life. Thus, I want to become a teacher to help kids have the same opportunities that I had growing up.

Coaching, however challenging, is a great way to influence the lives of others while also building their character. For as long as there have been sports, there have been people teaching the sport to the players and making them better at it. Coaches must have certain qualities in order to obtain success. One must also look at a coach’s motivation for his job, his passion for what he does, his methods for coaching, and how he became a coach in order to fully understand him. There are many questions someone may want to ask a coach about his profession if they are interested in coaching. Some questions would include: Why did he choose this as a profession? How did he get into coaching? What does one have to do to get a job as a coach? How

As I matured, it became easier for me to learn and understand the points in which my coach was trying to get me to understand. As a young boy, most of the things that were said to me went in one ear and out the other because I was more focused on having fun. As I got older, I could better understand coach Cipilone’s lessons as well as taking on new ones from my middle school coach, and teachers. At this age I was more mature which helped me to listen and understand what my coach was saying. My middle school coach was also my health and gym teacher. This was great because he was able to take what he was teaching me on the field as a player to the classroom as student. I always look at sports as a fun activity so I did not want to learn while I was out there playing. I think it was easier to absorb information in the classroom as a student.

With the right influence, communication and skill development is the key to a valuable coach. Without my two outstanding high school coaches, I wouldn’t have the love for basketball and track the way I do today. They have taught me everything I needed to know for the present, along with tips for the future. Coach Lewis and Coach Kohler have done more for me than what I’ve ever deserved and I will never be able to pay them back for all their help and encouragement. But I hope they have understanding of how much of a change they can make on someone's life, someone's life like my

Since coaches ' time is limited, they do not have time to set up they 're class in an effective manner. Regular teachers usually have a structured class that they have planned out thoroughly. Since being a teacher is their only role, they have the time and the will to think about their classes and how to help the students learn. Full-time teachers usually lead their class actively because they have time to analyze issues that may be stunting student learning and come up with solutions; they 're methodical. For example, Mrs. Gallegos is an Ellison High School English 2 teacher in Killeen, Texas. She has an effective method to teach everything. For vocabulary, we had to write all of the words down and we would do plenty of practice until the quiz. We all knew the words by heart by the time we took the quiz because Mrs. Gallegos had provided plenty of learning opportunities. She spent her time thinking about what we needed in order to learn. If Mrs. Gallegos had another job, such as being a coach, she wouldn 't have ample time to do that. Coaches ' classrooms are not as structured or thought out
