What Is The Most Relevant In Today's Coaching World

This poor coaching style has a significant impact on how a child views leadership, and impacts how they develop as a leader. The biggest problem we face in youth sports is an emphasis on winning at all cost. Success is the only option and failure is unacceptable.

Being a professional athlete is one of the most commonly heard dreams of a young boy or girl who currently elementary school. Whether it is realistic or not, these kids will be participating in the sport that they wish to thrive in. But, time after time we hear adults complain about their child’s insane soccer schedule, or how they have to spend their whole weekend traveling for games. The parents complaints shouldn’t be the topic of discussion, in fact the only opinions that matter are the children. The question shouldn’t be asking whether or not youth sports are too intense, it should be asking if it is worth it. If a child loves what they’re doing then they have every reason to continue playing their sport, but if they are not all in, he or she has to question whether or not all the craziness is worth it.

The essay “Coach Fitz Management Theory” was written by Michael Lewis and the stories mentioned were based on past and present comparisons. Most of the ideologies strictly informed that the process is essential, and while Fitz talks about winning, it is the desire and not the victory that is important. There are many examples that refer back to the different statements about winning versus the process. Valuing the process towards a particular goal and perfecting that process will provide you with the success desired. On the other hand, the ability to provide the process, which includes self-motivation and hard work necessary. The different writing techniques used to give off different perspectives for the reader to understand. The essay mainly intended the reader to understand the level of entitlement that parents have with a team and the goals/process that must be met in order to win.

Last Tuesday evening saw a marvelous sight: nearly the entire Mid-County Surf Blue soccer team, 11- and 12-year-old boys, came to the Board of Director's monthly meeting along with their parents. They came to protest the Board's barring of their coach Sean Clark from the upcoming season. Several of them stood up in front of the Board and the nearly 40 other attendees and spoke in support of their coach, telling the Board how much Sean and the team meant to them, and imploring the Board to reconsider their decision. We parents spoke as well, but it was the boys' testimony and pleas that shone that night. We parents added our voices as well to those of the boys, asking the Board to act promptly. We are all still

The problem appears to be a trend across the United States and should be a growing concern to the athletes, parents, and the coaching communities. The impact on the athletes and their families are the greatest because they suffer personally on the emotional, physiological, spiritual, and psychological levels (Kerr & Stirling, 2012). The effects on the athletes are problematic as the coaches manipulate the swimmers’ athletic aspirations to impress a rationale, which leads the swimmers to believe the coaches’ actions are justifiable (Sturtz, 2014). The athletes are also affected by their parents’ trust in the coaches’ authority, having the tendency to reinforce some of the coaches’ verbal and minor physical abuses, rather than offering their child parental support (Sturtz, 2014). Therefore, when a major violation occurs, the parents’ trust is broken and they “feel betrayed by the coaches because of all they have invested in the coaching program on behalf of their swimmer” (K. Burwick, personal communication, December 3, 2014). The sense of betrayal is amplified by all of the money, time, and trust parents invest into the offending organization, such as a club program. Not only do the coaches’ actions affect the athletes and parents, but it affects the reputation of the coaching profession as a whole. In the United

The 2016-2017 JV and Varsity PRHS Girls Soccer Team is composed of 31 young student-athletes that tried out for the teams, endured a disorganized and unfair elimination/selection process, only to find out that was just the beginning of that was to be what some players describe as a "miserable" season. Although most players maintain their commitment and focus, attended their practices, and showed up to their games determined to play their best, their head coach did NOT. The answers to the questions in this survey, describe an egotistical head coach who is lazy, immature, and bickers with his players. Such leadership is not based on respect and mutual trust, unfortunately, it led to moments of chaos, and discontent within the team, in which poor

This week’s reading focused on the topics of organizational theory and the management of sport organizations along with organizational goals and effectiveness. Through the writings of Slack and Parent in Understanding Sport Organizations, the aforementioned topics were well versed in delivering information to be prepared for this reflection.

My first year of being a soccer coach at an Armenian private elementary school, I encountered a challenge that I never faced before, and that was to learn how to manage and organize the team players and their playing time. The real issue started after we started playing at their private league games which was organized by ASA (Armenian Soccer Association). After the third game I started noticing parents talking to my manager, and that was the moment I realized that there must be an issue. Moments after the parent left, the manager came up to me and said, “Some of the parents are complaining about their kids playing time, and they are wondering why they kid does not start the game or play”. Clearly, I could not have all of my players on the

He provided some of the best feedback I have had throughout my career. During a deployment he called me to the commander center and even though we were immerse in combat operations he just wanted to check on how my section was doing during the deployment and did we have everything we needed. I believe the best part was the fact that he did it because he genuinely cared not because of some military regulation. In Candice Frankovelgia article “The Key To Effective Coaching” you can see that my leader was doing what is references in the article(Frankovelgia, 2010).. A relationship is number one you can’t coach someone you do not have a relationship with. The others where challenging thinking. Providing assessments and driving results (Frankovelgia,

Physical activity is a large part of being healthy, especially at a young age. Participating in sports is a very popular form of obtaining this exercise, as nearly thirty-six million kids play organized sports each year (Source 6). Coaches are extremely influential in the development of minors. They are the role models for the children to learn and grow from. Most coaches are parents, almost eighty-five percent (Source 6). However, this can have positive and negative effects on the participants that would differ from the effects of having a trained, “unbiased” coach. Many problems are evident when it comes to coaching staffs for youth sports; many parents take on the task of coaching without knowing they are unqualified, partial, and may damage their child psychologically.

The attitude to a culture of coaching needs to change. Line managers at the moment generally don’t see this as their role. Line managers already have some of the necessary skills needed to coach but as ILM (2011) states “coaching is a management skill that people have to work on and improve. This calls for training, experience, ongoing development and support.” This therefore means that ongoing training will be needed. The way to support line managers and to make sure they believe in the importance of this programme is by using workshops and allowing managers to choose if they want to be involved or not. Forcing someone to be involved is likely to cause issues. Set the managers up for success with the understanding of

The purpose of this study was to determine the positives and negatives of a parent-coach/child-athlete connection in today’s realm of athletics. To determine which factors of the relationship were beneficial and which ones were harmful or disliked, boys in youth sports, their parent-coaches, and teammates from each of their respective teams were given questionnaires discussing the aspects of the sport/relationship they enjoyed, they disliked, and/or felt indifferent about. The authors found that there were both positives and negatives to the parent-coach relationship, with the positives including many motivational benefits and feelings of support, and some of the negatives were added external pressure, the awareness of preferential tendencies,

Effective coaching can play a valuable part in any organisation, however there any many potential barriers that can prevent us to coach effectively.

The following three paragraphs are from my understanding for ''Effective Coaching Skills'', (How to guide, 2014):

There are two kinds of youth sports parents. There are the parents who admittedly say that it's not about winning or losing but about having fun. Then there are the parents who care only about the score of the game, and if their kid gets playtime. (Weller 1).
