The organization which I am associated with you is Robert Morris University football team. The three people I interviewed were my coaches Mike Miller who is the offensive coordinator of the offense, Scott Farison who’s the defensive coordinator of the defense, and John Banaszak who’s the head coach of the program. When interviewing the coaches I was trying to see who was more like a leader or a manager. Therefore, I asked them some questions to confirm if their coaching style was similar to a leader or manager. The first coach I interviewed was Mike Miller and asked him the other coaches some questions. The first question I asked Mike was ‘how do you run your offense?’ His response was, “Well I run my offense based off of knowledge and …show more content…
This offense is centered around order and if you can’t follower orders you will be lost in the systems because I know I don’t have time to take a step back”. You can see that coach Miller clearly isn’t a leader or manager somewhat like a dictator. The second person I interviewed was Scott Farison, the defensive of coordinator. I also asked him the same questions. Based off of his responses, he has more leaders treats because he understand his player’s weaknesses and strengths. the questions I asked coach Farison was kind of the same questions I asked Mike Miller. The first question I asked him ‘How do you run your defense?’ He answered with,“ Well I run my defense to were it benefits my players.” I followed up the question with ‘What do you mean by that answer?’ He then replied with, “I made the playbook simple and short for the players and this will make it easier for them gasp the concepts.” Coach Farison sounds like a leader because he cares more about the players understanding the tasks at hand so they can benefit. He also added that by making the playbook simple kids can play much better. The last person I
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
Throughout the book “Leading with the Heart,” I read about prime examples of the following leadership theories: transformational leadership, trait theory, behavioral theory, and situational leadership. He recommended that leaders begin with the trait theory when beginning the selection process when starting his or her organization. In chapter one and as well as chapter two, Coach K refers to coachable players. Meaning, players or members that do not mind being taught and learning; willing to take a back seat to someone else in charge. Establish right away in the first meeting the only rule for the team: “Don’t do anything that’s detrimental to yourself, because if it is detrimental to you, it will be detrimental to our program (Krzyzewski, 2000, p.4). He reiterates that leaders must be very selective in this process, because the people you select represent you as the leader, and your company. In some cases leaders must sacrifice some skill and talent for people who have outstanding character. “Character and respect will outlast talent when talent can’t see past themselves.” Krzyzewski mentions that he will sign a kid who has the character of a leader and train them to gain the skill necessary down the road. I believe that this is why the Duke Men’s basketball program is very successful because he picks
From most of the questions I asked, they were a few of the basic things I would need in order to be a great coach. One of the main questions was taking criticism from fans. The fans are always just fans. Which means they know nothing about the amount of work your team puts in or know anything about what the team may be going through so just let them be. The most hurdle one will have to overcome is to telling a player he/she is not good enough for the

Coaches must have special players for this offensive strategy. Luckily Phil Jackson had the greatest of all time Michael Jordan in Bulls and Kobe Bryant in Lakers. Many people will say:“It is easy to win eleven rings when you have individuals like Jordan and Bryant.“ But if you ask me, I think coach Jackson and his strategy made champions of Michael and Kobe. They were just executors for coaches tactics. For example Oklahoma City Thunders have the biggest potential to win a lot of championships. With Russel Westbrook and Kevin Durant only sky is the limit, but they do not have Phil Jackson on the
His style of coaching sometimes changes. At first he uses aggressive, commanding style to let them understand that he is the authority figure. This made for the team to accept him as a coach and take him seriously. 2. Positive role modelling:
Sports play a very important role in my life ever since I could walk. My interests in playing sports began at the age of three as my parents signed me up for soccer, flag football, basketball, and lacrosse. First grade started my competitive edge as I began to play for travel teams in various sport tournaments. This competitive edge transferred from the sports field to the classroom having teachers and coaches helping me be the best I can be. Sports have continually well-shaped and defined my character by teaching me how to accept a win from working hard, also how a loss is an opportunity to learn and fix mistakes.
There are many challenges being a coach or any type of leader. If you are in either of these positions a big challenge would be how to make your organization better than others. Coaches need to come up with a game plan to outperform other teams. This is extremely hard when there are tons of other coaches also trying to do the same thing. The second challenge is implementing the plan you do create. A coach needs to not only be an expert at how to be better than other teams, but also be a proficient teacher. An amazing master plan means nothing if you can’t get your players to execute the plan. The most challenging thing about being a coach is keeping your players motivated. If your players don’t care and just stop trying then it doesn’t matter how good your plan
“A coach is someone who is equipped to aid individuals or groups and organisations to maximise their performance in pursuit of their desired goals.” (Dexter et al, (2011) p.4)
A proper coaching philosophy contains principles which improve character development, teach step by step tactical and technical skills, form proper progressive physical training regimens, and carefully utilize team management to handle and control problems with administrative issues. A coach with a sound philosophy should mold a team with strong cohesion, and he should treat players not only as teammates, but as family and friends who are encouraged to develop communication and lifelong learning of skills through positive support and role modeling from the coach (Mergelsberg, 14-15). The philosophy should also contain written documents of implemented strategies and techniques, so that the coach will know what to improve upon season by season
However, after writing this essay and reflecting on my coaching ideologies, experiences and knowledge I hold, I am now aware of how my past experiences can and have influenced my current coaching practice. Also understanding, examining and identifying the clear links between theory and practice and how applying coaching theory can help guide my coaching practice.
In the movie ‘Remember the Titans’, there are many management concepts covered throughout the movie and he is the agent in the movie. The players on the Titans are the targets of the influence. ‘Remember the Titans’ is the perfect movie for Exam 3. It covers many topics that were on the exam, and this class has given me a different way of looking at the movie. I have seen the movie many times, but I never looked at it from a management perspective. It now makes sense to me to look at a football team, or any other type of sports team, from a management point of view.
The purpose for having these coaches is to show great leadership and role model roles to team players as well as others. We plan to deliver this workshop on a face to face basis, Monday through Thursday beginning at noon and ending at 3p.m. In this workshop we plan to cover issues based on the

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.
