This station will be included because Coaches believe that it is necessary to build a strong relationship with a coaches and that the relationship is based on the coach’s needs. The process of building the coaching relationship is coaches-focused, with the coach serving the coaches. In the coaches-centered coaching engagement, the coaches sets the agenda and direction. Yet, a coaches-focused approach does not mean “the client is always right.” The coach is an equal, stepping back from being the expert except in some cultures in which the coach is expected to provide direct guidance. Steve Roesler states in his article All Things in the Workplace “The degree to which the coaches expects the coach to be an expert varies depending upon the cultural and business context of the coaches” (Roesler). The research suggested greater expectations of coaches to advise the coaches rather than the Western expectation of the coaches generating most of their own facilitated goals and action steps. The coach shows respect and builds rapport through listening, reflecting and creating a general sense of safety. In the end, being coaches centered means believing that with accurate inquiries, the coaches can generate his or her own best solutions in an environment of positive …show more content…
Contextual coaches explains that coaches cannot coach in a vacuum. They have a range of practices to help them grasp the organizational context and issues. This includes having a perspective on the key drivers, the organizational structure and role expectations. The coach must also understand the pressures of the coach’s job and the organizational hierarchy. The coach may gather and assess the context in a number of ways, including site visits, examination of organizational charts, goal alignment meetings between the coaches and the coaches’ boss, needs assessments, and direct insight from the coach. “Coaches working with C-level executives were well aware they were working with executives at the highest levels of organizations who have very complex problems that not many others in organizations face” (Roesler). Roesler states as coaches, they described the need to conceptualize things at a faster rate, to think through complexity, and help these executives “connect the dots” between their assessments, the behavioral observations and the future changes the executive is
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.
This constitutes the single largest barrier to successful coaching. Common barriers to
As I have asserted, coaching is far more than winning or losing. A coach is an essential cog in shaping qualities such as sportsmanship, competitiveness, self discipline, and work ethic. A quality coach can build a player up while a bad coach can tear them down. My goal as a coach was to always leave the player striving to be the best they could be. A good coach
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.
Coaches should have an arrangement of fundamental abilities that they depend on to produce a positive outcome. Definition of a coach from the American Heritage Dictionary, Third Edition (page 167) One who trains or directs an individual or team, to train or instruct teach a team. The goal behind coaching is to exhibit the ability to get the most out of everyone on the team. It should be a goal to bring out the greatest potential from every team member. It’s insane how many players do not even know their true potential. Successful coaches assess these individuals and the team to advance them to the next level of sports. "The Little Book of Coaching, Motivating People to be Winners" by Ken Blanchard and Don Shula (2001) gives a great acronym of the word C-O-A-C-H. The acronym breaks down as follows: Conviction Driven: never compromise your beliefs-Overlearning: practice until it is perfect-Audible-Ready: know when to change-Consistency: respond predictably to performance-Honesty-Based: walk your talk. This acronym should remind you of your job as a coach. A good coach
My coaches pushed me and stressed how important grades was and making plays on the field was. He made sure we were well taken care of, fed and that we were giving back to our community just as much as it was giving to us. The school I went to holds a lot of tradition so the community was a major factor and wearing our school name around was like carrying the torch at the Olympics, you had to be on your best behavior and making sure you were doing something positive. My coaching career will be an image that will live with me forever. I hope to become a

Growing up I was extremely blessed having an incredible coach at every level of sport I participated in. From those experiences I know how much a coach can make a difference in your life. For that reason my dream job is coaching college basketball at any division. It does not matter to me what level, because kids at the D-3 level need just as much guidance and help as student athletes at the D-1 level. During my coaching career I hope to blend two leadership styles in particular together in order to make my athletes better men, but also to keep the game they love fun to play. I feel by taking the Charismatic Leadership style’s enthusiasm and loyalty and mixing it with a Transformational Leaders innovation and emphasis on change, I can be an extremely effective and power leader for my student athletes.

The coach has to act and support the client’s decision. Because my coaching peer was an experienced professional coach, I learned where I was hitting the mark and where I needed improvement. The experience in this assignment was enriching because it was actionable as I was actually able to demonstrate coaching and discover areas where I was strong and internalize and reflect on those areas, after personal critique, where I needed improvement. This assignment further contributed to the importance of cultural understanding pockets we have in the United States as well as my continued and personal growth as a global leader in
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.

In today’s society being a coach can be extremely complicated especially compared to earlier years. Coaching requires not only many technical and personal skills but also has to include positive psychology that will affect all athletes regardless of gender, age, and race. After reading various articles this leads me to the question, what is a coach? How do coaches differ from one another? In addition are we forgetting the importance of not only coaching but the sports psychology aspect of coaching overall? Regardless of what you may have read or heard I believe not only do all coaches have their own coaching style but every coaching technique and style is different. Coaching styles and positive psychology are two techniques that can provide
