...October 2015 Basketball Coaching There are many kinds of basketball coaches, there are good ones and there are bad ones. The way that the team you are coaching plays all determines which one the coach turns out to be. A basketball team is either a well-oiled machine or they are dysfunctional. It is all up to the coach and how they teach them to determine if the team will be a good one or not. A basketball coach has many jobs that they do while coaching the team. They have to make drills, order uniforms, make sure everyone has rides to and from games, make sure that the team works well together, and make sure the team has enough players. The coach also has to make sure that they plays are executed right and that every team member knows what position they play and how to play that position properly. The coach is constantly doing everything they can for the team, the coach devotes their life to the team that is being coached. There are three main topics of focus for this paper, they are; sports related injuries, how to properly motivate the team and better them as a team and individuals, and bullying in the sport. First, there are a lot of sports related injuries that occur when playing basketball. The most common is an ankle injury, it can be injured in the muscles, the tendons, or the joints. “Muscle strength and balance around the lower limb joints may play an important role for performance and injury prevention in basketball” (Gerodimos 1). When coaching a basketball team, the...

Conflict Resolution in the Relationship Coaching Model From the start of time man has struggled with conflict; both in the interpersonal sense as well as in relationships. The Bible gives an account of when sin entered the world the in chapter three of Genesis. Here the reader learns how God became conflicted with Adam. Adam quickly became conflicted with Eve and blamed her for the situation at hand. Not to be undone, Eve became conflicted and blamed the serpent for their troubles. Eventually Adam turned the tables and blamed God for the whole ordeal (NASB). So we see the need for some sort of resolution and hopefully in today’s times that resolution will not be as harsh as what God had in store for Adam and Eve. This student author has a passion for marriage...

...Sports overall targets your child; approach to learn; ability to think, communicate; physical well-being; and social development. The social development aspect of adolescent development targets kids particular abilities to make, build, and sustain relationships with adults and peers. Through sporting activities your children will acknowledge and accept their feelings which will allow them to express their feelings a lot more successfully to you about situation they may go through, but in the process they will be able to grasp and answer the emotions of other kids. As parents you want to be involved in your child sporting activities but not too involved to the point you’re a pushy parent. Expectations should be put on their behavior in a sense of how they behave towards others. That kind of expectation is a good expectation because ultimately you want them to have fun but at the same time you want them to develop social skills that will instill positive interaction and respect for their peers. Give some decision-making responsibilities; let your child experience the luxury of sports and reinforce boundaries and rules when it’s necessary (Holt, N. L., & Black, D. E, 2007). Don’t force perfection or put your expectations on to their performance, especially in the team atmosphere because due to parent’s lack of encouragement, many times children lose confidence in themselves, then resent you because they’re uncertain of their identity and capabilities to compete; which would cause...

...Bianca Chappel Section A HRE Leadership Profile Paper The individual who I chose to interview as a leader of my leadership paper is my high school teacher and cross country/track and field coach, Rudy Horvath. Coach Rudy was a well-known and greatly admired individual who not only exhibited great leadership skills throughout the school, but also in his community. Coach Rudy has been a member of the faculty at Cabrini High School for 14 years. Not only was he a skilled teaching, teaching both history and psychology courses, but in my opinion of the best track coaches that I’ve ever had the pleasuring of working with. Rudy Horvath was like a father figure to most with his protective demeanor and powerful words of wisdom. I truly believe that Coach Rudy was and still can be considered a great leader simply because he has experience working with other individuals and does an extraordinary job of motivating them to be the best at something. He’s also creating a positive atmosphere to set examples in order for others to reach their goals. Chapter 1- The Nature and Importance of Leadership Coach Rudy believes that leadership is important when it comes to things such as teaching and/or being a part of a sports team because it influences behaviors. Leadership in a teaching or school related environment is important because teachers are the only ones who can improve education. When a teacher possesses leadership skills then he or she is expected to positively impact student achievement...

...Team Leadership Liberty University BUSINESS 310 Abstract The focus of this paper is on the topic of team leadership. Team leadership is a successful leadership style to use in any organization to be more focused and accomplish more. The next few pages addresses several attributes that can make this style of leadership successful or unsuccessful. Leadership is an important topic in todays world as many search to follow a great leader, we study to be great leaders and many strive to write what defines a great leader. The book stores are always filled with current leadership books and just one search on the internet you will find hundreds of opinions on current leadership strategies and styles. What does leadership need to look like in 2012? Leadership is going to have to be bigger than one person. “Scholars suggested that the shared leadership approach potentially provides a more suitable solution to team management than the classical, hierarchical, or vertical leadership, as represented by the solo leader approach” (Day et al., 2006; Gronn, 2000, 2002; Hoch, 2007). The definition of team leadership does not need to get lost some complex translation. Team leadership can be seen simply on the basketball court. On the court you can see 5 different size men, different talents, different abilities but all are focused on one thing. Each player is contributing their part in different ways. At the end...

...setting chosen for this adolescent review is the Rainier High School wrestling practice starting week of varsity conditioning. All practices are in a combination setting of three places. The weight room is used for conditioning weigh training and is located above the gym. The gym is used for mat practice and warm-ups and the local community is used for endurance and cardio exercises. The specific setting I have chosen is in the gym for mat practice and warm-ups of which is where the team spends most of their time. The purpose for choosing this setting is to observe the dynamics of social interaction accompanied by leadership of the older more senior varsity wrestlers and to include the naturalistic form of competition that exists in sports programs. The gym environment is typical for a rural community high school as it is small in size. Laid out on the floor there are four large wrestling mats coordinated with team logos to accommodate 23 team members. Eight members are female wrestlers and fifteen are male wrestlers. Education level ranges from senior to freshman as varsity and junior varsity has not yet been decided. The wrestling team has three coaches as...

ISBN 978-0-692-00528-6 Editors: Mark S. Kovacs, Todd S. Ellenbecker, W. Ben Kibler TENNIS RECOVERY A Comprehensive Review of the Research A United States Tennis Association Sport Science Committee Project Editors: Mark S. Kovacs, PhD Todd S. Ellenbecker, DPT W. Ben Kibler, MD Introduction In the last two decades, physical training and competitive opportunities have increased dramatically in junior, collegiate and professional tennis. This arose due to a multitude of factors, but much of it has stemmed from an increase in knowledge and understanding of scientifically based training programs focused on improving performance. As this focus on performance has increased, the area of recovery has received relatively limited focus. Recovery is a multi-faceted paradigm focusing on recovery from training—session to session, day to day and week to week. Recovery is also vitally important during training as well as in competition between matches and between days during multi-day tournaments. As more information is needed in the area of tennis specific recovery, the Sport Science Committee of the United States Tennis Association (USTA) sponsored an extensive evidence-based review of the available literature...

...TO BE LOVED OR FEARED AS A LEADER? Leaders in fields ranging from military and politics to business and even education have been posed with the choice of instilling love or fear among their respective followers. Traits like warmth and trustworthiness of a leader instill love among followers and fear of a leader originates mostly from his strength and competence. Although there are numerous other traits in a leader, warmth and strength are the most influential. According to psychology, a major part of other people's perception about a person is determined by these two dimensions of personality (Cuddy, Kohut and Neffinger, 2013, p. 56). The dilemma of the choice between these two is inherently present in the nature of the two extremes i.e. either of the choices will make you fall at the opposing ends of the human emotional spectrum. It is interesting to note that the question of choosing between the two extremes is not a new one . Tracing this conundrum back to the sixteenth century takes us to the writings of Machiavelli. His political philosophy in 'The Prince' acknowledges the best leaders to command both fear and love. Having said that, Machiavelli recognizes the opposite polarity of the two emotions and maintains that since it is difficult to combine both in one person, it is better to be feared as a leader than to be loved (Machiavelli, 2003, p.53). Today, about five hundred years later, the Machiavellian concept of a feared leader is still quite rigorously followed...
