...Get on the Bus Project 2015 Administrative Issues in Coaching - KINS-7430-01F Dr. Drew Zwald By: Steve Masterman-Smith INTRODUCTION: Although I am currently working as a Graduate Assistant Equipment Manager with Georgia Southern Baseball, and I hope to pursue this avenue in athletics, I have coached at every level from 4-5 year olds through high school. My degree from Florida State is in Physical Education and I have minors in both coaching and business. I was also certified by the American Coaches Effectiveness Program when I attended Florida State. I most recently worked with the past 2 Athletic Directors at Robert Toombs Christian Academy in the Vidalia area where my boys attend school. I was an assistant football and baseball coach there in addition to handling all the equipment manager duties and video responsibilities for all sports. I am going to use RTCA as my basis for this project.

...the fantasy of some day writing and directing films that would tell a dramatic story, maybe even influence lives. Working with the director of the Swiss film production company for the past eighteen months, she could not help but admit to herself that producing films in fact entailed running around to find and structure the financing, and endless arguments with distribution companies, and constantly making deals that did not stick. Even the glamour of participating in the annual rituals at the Cannes Film Festival somehow did not compensate for all the superficiality that she had discovered the film business entailed. The ringing phone interrupted her reflections. Her first thought was, “I hope it‟s not the Director calling back to change my mind!” The voice of the caller was vaguely familiar, “Katrin, this is Trevor Johnson, surely you do remember – the Dean from BSL (Business School Lausanne), you called me Dr. Johnson?

...College hoops' black coaching issue Myron Medcalf [ARCHIVE] ESPN.com | July 18, 2013 When a national sportswriter calls to talk about minority hiring in college basketball, folks of all races seem to get nervous. As I sought feedback following last week's release of the "2012 Racial and Gender Report Card: College Sport" by Central Florida's Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport -- the report excludes historically black colleges and universities -- which states that the current pool of Division I African-American head coaches (18.6 percent through the 2011-12 season) is at its lowest mark since the 1995-96 season, people weren't sure what, if anything, they should say. Multiple administrators passed on the opportunity. The NCAA wanted to see my questions, and then it wanted a pre-interview phone conversation before it ultimately emailed its responses. The coaches who talked on the record always ended our chats with the same concern: "I didn't say anything that will make me look bad, right?" Shaka Smart Andy Lyons/Getty Images To reach Shaka Smart's level, black coaches often have to overcome certain labels. I don't blame them. It's an incendiary issue, because we're uncomfortable with race as dialogue. It's still a subject that makes athletic directors -- 89 percent of whom are white at the Division I level, per the report -- squirm. Minority coaches speak cautiously, because they don't want to be labeled as rebels or militants. That hesitancy...

...Advance praise “Our world is facing uncertainties never seen before. Designing winning strategies, as tough as it can be, is only part of the challenge facing senior management. The most difficult part is to continuously translate our strategy into superior performance at all levels of our organisations. That’s what this book is all about: tips and tricks to get things done” Gérard Mestrallet | CEO | GDF SUEZ “This book absolutely nails the three things every manager needs to know about strategy – execution, execution, execution!” Bill Saubert | Regional Business Leader Australia/New Zealand | MasterCard Advisors “Strategy Execution Heroes is a wonderfully written and well-organised book with a clear commonsense approach to strategy implementation. It is a must-read for any manager regardless of position or years of experience” Michael Benavente | Managing Director Watches | Gucci “Organisations have become very aware that much great strategy is lost before it’s turned into performance, mainly as a result of poor execution skills. This book is a significant step towards addressing that gap: it takes strategy to the manager level, providing practical everyday recipes to make sure that the ‘big picture’ does not remain a boardroom abstraction” Bruno Lanvin | Executive Director, eLab | INSEAD “Strategy Execution Heroes provides leaders with a practical strategy execution how-to guide which includes a brilliant summary of Jeroen’s personal experiences combined with an extensive collection...

...Ethical issues regarding the use of Performance Enhancing Drugs in Sports In the history of 20th century sports, specifically in the post World War 2 era, there has been an ever increasing use of performance enhancing drugs in all avenues of sport. Sports have become money making machine for both athletes and big business and the “win at all costs” attitude which has permeated itself into all aspects of professional and college level athletics. Winners make money, losers don’t. The temptation of fame, notoriety and million dollar contracts in all venues of sport is a lure for many athletes. Elite professional athletes are worshiped in today’s society. This paper will elaborate on the use of performance enhancing drugs in the sporting world and the associated sports ethical issues. It is a majority belief in all sporting circles that the “true” spirit of sportsmanship does not allow any aspect of performance enhancing drugs. There are several arguments both in favor and against the use of performance enhancing drugs which will be presented and discussed in this paper. While addressing this ethical issue, we need to define the term ethics. Ethics can be defined as the socially accepted norms and values. These norms and values are varied from society to society and are based on culture and tradition. Ethics also could be defined as the unsaid, un-written and understood laws that prevail in a society. Ethics also cover what is right and what is wrong in society and teaches...

...GIFTED MONTHLY The definitive guide to giftedness in the UK Dear reader, July is quite an exciting month for us as the staff at Gifted Monthly will be attending our first Gifted and Talented Termly Standing Conference in London. We are hoping this will provide a good opportunity to gain the help and support of Gifted & Talented Coordinators countrywide. We will also be able to find out what is new in the government pipeline for gifted education—if anything. Now the summer holidays are under way, it is an ideal time for parents to spend time with their children, and to work through any problems that may have arisen during the term. The sorts of problems you may be able to deal with will probably be behavioural or emotional. With young gifted children especially, it can be hard reconciling an advanced intellect with a child’s body and emotions. This discrepancy is often a cause of stress on a child, which can manifest itself in various ways. The article this month covers some of the issues involved with this. If anyone has a comment to add to this or any of our articles, please write to us or email. Clearly, a parent’s view is more valuable than anything we can suggest in this newsletter. Lastly, many of you will soon be coming up for your last issue within your subscription. For those who subscribed with us in June or July last year, I will be in touch with details. I hope this month finds you all well and happy. Until the next time, Happy holidays. The Editor 28 Wallis Close...

...October 2012 SOUNDVIEW Executive Book Summaries www.summary.com Management ® The Power of Habit Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business THE SUMMARY IN BRIEF In The Power of Habit, Charles Duhigg, award-winning business reporter for The New York Times, takes us to the thrilling edge of scientific discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can be changed. By distilling vast amounts of information into engrossing narratives, Duhigg brings to light a whole new understanding of human nature and its potential for transformation. Along the way, we learn why some people and companies struggle to change, despite years of trying, while others seem to remake themselves overnight. We visit laboratories where neuroscientists explore how habits work and where they reside in our brains. We discover how the right habits were crucial to the successful promotion of Pepsodent; to Tony Dungy who led his team to a Super Bowl win by changing one step in his players’ habit loop; and to Alcoa when it turned itself around by changing just one routine within the organization. At its core, The Power of Habit contains an exhilarating argument: The key to exercising regularly, losing weight, raising exceptional children, becoming more productive, building revolutionary companies and social movements, and achieving success is understanding how habits work. By harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our communities and our lives. by Charles Duhigg ...
