Teacher Profile-Ian Mosier Mr/Coach Mulgrew This is Jad Mulgrew’s 5th year of working in the Sedalia School District. He has also been coaching mid-distance and long sprints in Track and Field for 5 years as well. Originally, Coach Mulgrew is from Palm Springs, California. Because he loved the sport, Coach Mulgrew wanted to coach Track from when he was at college. He believed it was a good way to share the love of his sport. When Coach Mulgrew coaches it take a lot of work. He must figure out what works well for each individual athlete. He pushes an athlete to achieve based on the individual abilities of the athletes. It can be hard figuring out which events he wants to put his athletes in during competition figuring out if he made
the correct choices for his athletes. Saying this, Coach Mulgrew can be disappointed in his athletes when they do not perform to the best of their abilities, but if his athletes are having fun and enjoy what they are doing then he cannot be dissapointed within his athletes. “With disappointment there is growth”, Coach Mulgrew stated. Coach Mulgrew also differs when coaching and when teaching. The coaching environment is more laid back Mulgrew says. When he is teaching there is more countability and structure. There is also a little bit of sarcasm when he coaches as well. Coach Mulgrew believes the Smith-Cotton Track team is getting better. There are growth in numbers, and there is growth in the abilities of the athletes. The new track from 2014 was the most exciting thing to ever to happen to Mulgrew as a coach. The coaches are able to provide the athletes better services, and they can keep the athletes safer during bad weather. Coach Mulgrew’s best experiences in coaching is the end of each season. The coaches are able to see the progress of athletes as individuals and the simple growth over just months. Track has all the elements of a good story Mulgrew believes. There is man versus self when the athletes overcome their internal problems. There is man versus man during competition. And there is man versus nature when the athletes must perform against the elements. Coach Mulgrew coaches track alongside Coach Foster, Coach Hagedorn, Coach Clark, and Coach Katzing.
In the book, "They Call Me Coach" by John Wooden, he talks about the importance of a teacher and coach as a role model for kids. He talks about his successes he had in coaching, the lessons he has learned, and the ones he has taught. In the book, you will get to walk through his life from when he was a little kid and first fell in love with basketball to when he retired from active coaching at UCLA in 1975. He also talks about his "Pyramid of Success" and the traits that every player should have.
In order to see outcomes in this area of improvement, we as coaches must re-evaluate not only our athletes, but, in addition, our coaching styles. Of course, we all want to tell ourselves that we are great coaches and it's the athletes who are not following direction...
Coaching is an integral part of helping achieve one’s maximum abilities. Dr. Gawande (2013) explains that, “Coaches are not teachers, but they teach. They’re not your boss—in professional tennis, golf, and skating, the athlete hires and fires the coach—but they can be bossy” (p. 3). It is difficult to say what is the exact function of a coach, however, they help bring forth another point of view different from our own and they also help bring about the right mindset in order to subdue a weakness.
Coach Wressel’s strongest arguments will be against SUM, while any arguments against the NCAA will likely fail. The most persuasive claim Wressel could make is a wrongful termination claim against SUM, assuming he is an employee. This claim will assert that SUM breached its contract of employment by firing the coach without cause and without following SUM’s disciplinary proceedings. This claim will entail a detailed, fact specific analysis of the Wressel’s agreement with the SUM. It is possible that the contract of employment includes a provision that allows SUM to terminate Wressel for NCAA rules violations. If so, this claim will fail. If not, Wressel may be able to recoup damages based on his wrongful termination.
My senior project is about being a coach and how it can be difficult and not an easy task. I wanted to show others that being a coach is something that takes time and effort in order to accomplish it. Being a coach is not a fun job but it is a job that will help you in the future. Coaching is an experience that not a lot of people get to go through but those who do become not just better people but they become teachers to others in troubling times and in time of need. Coaching gives you and also shows you that being helpful and courteous to others actually helps you out as a person and it also helps out the players you’re coaching to be better people and to be kind and not take things in the wrong way and to show them a better way that will help them in their life.

As we run towards the field, I can hear the echoes of the enormous crowd roaring down on the player’s entrance of the Texan’s Stadium. My team gallops behind me like wild horses that are ready for a stampede. I move them forward to reach their destination. Just as I reach the entrance into the dome, where the fog rises up to give that more dramatic feeling, I think back and wonder, “What got me here today?” “What made me who I am today?” Four years of kinesiology leading the way to pee-wee football where letting everyone play; turned into high school football, where the best players play. With patience and a strong persistent attitude, putting in at least sixty to seventy hours a week, and struggling with the disadvantages of less time with the family. Continuously working hard to be the best; trying to accomplish goals of making those thirty to fifty thousand dollars a year, watching kid after kid fight for their spot on the football team. Staying up late and going through play after play just to find that one detail that will help you gain those two extra yards that can get you that touchdown and the win. That’s the life of a high school coach according to Coach Lance Butler; he is the coach of the Wells Lady Pirate softball team.
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.
For example: almost every lacrosse game I have, he is the loudest person on the field. I do like this because he is encouraging and always telling me what I could do better. However it’s not criticizing. It’s more of helpful judgement. He is also very motivating. He once told me, “You have to be determined and willing to put in a lot of effort in order to succeed.” That’s encouraged me a ton and has made me realize that he is right. I need to work super hard in everything I do if I want something. Those are some of the reasons why he is the greatest coach.

The emotion is intense. Everyone in the gym is on the edge of his or her seat. Time is expiring as the final shot for the win sails through air. The buzzer sounds… Athletics are a critical element of high school lives--whether it be playing for or supporting one’s team. In order to accomplish success in a season, these supporting individuals are forced to rely on a select few of premier athletes. From day one of tryouts, these athletes are crafted and molded based on their hard work as well as their ability to play in accordance with the coach’s style. At a varsity level, where victory has his or her job on the line, coaches should not be required to play every member of the team equally.
Looking back on how much my life has changed throughout the years, I couldn't begin to imagine my life without running. I remember when I first started running in 7th grade and Coach McLeese was the head coach. Coach McLeese was the one who trained me to become a better runner, and helped define who I am today. Without Coach McLeese’s help in the beginning of my running career, I don’t think I would have made the choice to pursue running.
I think that coach Boone used some "different" approaches to getting the boy's on his team to come around and look past their ethninc diffrences. They may not have been totally approate but I think with this particular situation they were nessacary. I mean, we're talking about a time when people were still very racist. Their were some of the players that weren't racist at all, which helped the situation a little. Because their were a few guys who didn't want to be racist but were scared of what their buddies thought of them.

With the increasing of obese patients and society gradually concerned about sports levels, it is becoming essential about different participants to develop a team or individual coaching process.
