...Coach Mike Krzyzewski (Coach K.) and Coach Robert Knight (Coach Knight) were two of the most winning and successful coaches to ever coach basketball. These men are not just known for their record wins, but for their unique leadership. They each had a unique way of leading their teams. Coach Knight was Indiana University’s head basketball coach and became a legend there. Coach K. was the head coach at Duke University since 1980. A fact of interest, both of these two men knew each other in an earlier time. Coach Knight had been Mike Krzyzewski’s basketball coach when he played for the United States Military Academy at West Point. It was there they began to build a relationship of trust and respect that would follow and remain with them throughout both of their careers and beyond, as they were also friends. Each of these men have differing ways in which they lead their teams, but there are leadership styles which they shared when it came to coaching. When taking the model which Robert Katz developed we can see there are skills that did account for their success. Coach Knight held two of the leadership traits that were professed by Katz. Those were technical skills and conceptual skills. He had the ability to know exactly was needed and how to make changes based on each individual situation. According to Katz’s model, Coach Knight did not have human skills. He was known for his roughness (e.g; using high levels of profanity and throwing objects onto the court). He did not have human...

...options for developing it within an organization. And in conclusion, I will identify 3 advantages and 3 disadvantages of developing in house coaching. 2 types of coaching * Sports Coaching: This is what many people think of when they hear the word “coach”. A “player” is helped to develop their skills by a “coach”. On the other hand, the term sports coach encompasses a wide range of roles and approaches, from the football manager on the touchline, through one-to-one coaches for athletes and players, to specialist coaches for fitness and health. There are also coaches who focus on the ‘mental game’, helping sports players fine-tune their psychological preparation for high-pressure events. * Executive coaching: is a form of business coaching which is typically aimed at developing senior managers, directors and key players within a business setting. It may enhance current performance, taking skills and abilities to a new level and help individuals adapt to new situations or it may address poor performance. This type of coaching may also be termed Leadership Coaching or Performance Coaching as it tends to target the same audience and similar issues. How coaching can be directive and non directive? 1. Directive: Is where the coach offers you solutions, tools and techniques for moving forward. You may like to be offered solutions however the danger is that the solution...

...team’s cohesion has long been researched. The factors that coaches use in their coaching method and the way that athletes perceive their coach can make or break a winning team. This study examines the connection between a coach’s ability to coach and a team’s cohesiveness. A Team is Only as Good as Their Coach Numerous researchers have studied the correlation between a coach’s method of coaching and team performance. One of the most notable theoretical models used to investigate coaching behavior is Chelladurai’s Multidemensional Model of Leadership. This model shows the coach’s behavior as viewed from three perspectives: the behavior that is preferred by the athlete, the behavior that is required by the situation and the actual behavior of the coach. It has long been assumed that a team’s performance and satisfaction are a direct result of the coach’s behavior (Carron, Hausenblas & Eys, 2005). Athletes look to coaches that foster friendship, mutual trust heightened respect and interpersonal warmth (Shields, Gardner, Bredemeier & Bostro, 1997). What is a Coach’s Perfect Behavior? The perfect behavior of a successful coach is a combination of different styles of training, democratic style, autocratic style, social support and positive feedback (Carron, et. Al., 2005). It takes many years to become a perfect coach, it is often wondered if coaches are taught or born into their profession. Just as players come and go and continually get traded, so...

Then it goes over the following seven secrets: character based, competent, committed, caring, confidence-builders, communicators, and consistent. Being character-based means coaches have principles that you follow no matter what. You don’t break those rules even though it could mean the difference between a win or a loss. You don’t lie to your athletes, if you do bend your rules or lie to one of an athlete, it can compromise the trust you have with your athletes. This loss of trust can be damaging to the entire program and be deterring...

...that enables learning and development to occur and thus performance to improve. Directive coaching - is where the coach offers solutions, tools and techniques for moving forward (as in the sports arena). Sometimes it may be useful to offer solutions, however the danger is that the solution may not be quite appropriate for the situation and consequently people may not feel fully committed to the solution provided. Non-Directive coaching - is coaching where the coach asks questions to allow people to find their own solutions. A non-directive coach will not offer advice and rarely even give suggestions, although through skilful questioning they will help someone to see their situation from a different perspective, gain clarity, uncover options, challenge inconsistencies and hold them accountable to their actions. Coaching can differ from other development methods such as e-learning and training courses because while e-learning and training programmes give the ‘employee’ the answers they need to succeed coaching helps them to find the answers themselves by the coach asking questions that will give results. They also differ in the end result. E-learning or a training course will have a structure and will end in a result that has already been planned out where as coaching goals can change throughout the process and are much more personnel to the coachee. The coach is the trained person who listens to the coachee and reflects on the coachee’s ideas and worries in life. They ask questions...

In order to be a successful coach one has to plan and prepare for the session. The coach assists the coachee recognize his/her strengths and weaknesses in order to “gain an appreciation of his/her capabilities for growth and builds self-confidence”. During the initial coaching session, the intent is to establish rapport with the coachee and build a bond that will assist me with helping her fulfill her goals with positive results. Pre-Coaching Plan True coaching is the art of asking the one pertinent question, and then giving the client all the necessary space and time to work with it, all the way to complete and very practical client satisfaction (Cardon, 2008). Prior to my coaching preparation, I contacted a co-worker named Joyce Vaughn to ask if she would act as my coachee during the entirety of my course.

...life leadership scenarios. Coach Boone knew he would face a touch year of coaching/teaching his team. He pushed his team to their limits and forces good relationships between players regardless of their race, realizing to be able to forward towards a goal, everyone has to believe in and commit to a common purpose. Even though Coach Boone is a charismatic leader with a brutal, military-style approach to coaching by breaking down the players and then rebuilding them as a team. Where Yoast was more laid back and conservative and felt that Boone was pushing the players too hard. The clash between the two coaches represents what can happen when two very different leaders attempt to achieve the same goal using different approaches in the work place. Once the coaches were able to develop a positive relationship, the players were able to work together to achieve the common goal. Coach Boone used both power and authority with his position as Head Coach to get his way, the white players did not immediately accept Boone’s authority. Many of them threaten to quit the team, parents put pressure on the assistant coach staying they would move their families to another school. However Coach Boone had to use power and mind games to force the players to tolerate each other until he could help them look beyond the racial conflict. While many people seek to avoid conflict, a true leader must realize conflict can bring an opportunity for change or revitalization. Coach Boone knew when to amplify conflict...
