The second section gives a brief overview of the coaching process, sample questions that help structure the coaching conversation, and details two conversational models: GROW and the Coaching Funnel (Stoltzfus, 2008).

    Leadership is a concept that has many methods and approaches. Not every approach fits every situation and not every leader uses the right technique for their followers. The most important part of being a leader, is understanding their followers so they can understand which approach would best fit them and the situation. When it comes to sports coaches, it is difficult to know what the most effective technique will be going into the job. Sometimes it is simply easier to have a generalized approach than attempt to individualize the method to every player. Either way, the goal is always to reach the best results for the team and if that isn’t being accomplished then the coach needs to change their techniques.…

    From Sport Psychology they say coaches make the biggest effect on player’s attitudes. Coaches can want the game to be in his/her hands and win. But by a research from Sports Psychology Today, they said they would like coaches to be more peaceful and teach instead of push or bully the players. From a 16 year old kid that was the best in his class until his coach pushed him too much and made him more angry and started to hate the game of football. People from all over the world are getting attitudes from not other players but their…

Even though they are very demanding, they’re essential for any team’s success. “I demand a lot out of my players, but we have fun and I give them room to learn and make mistakes,” said Coach Mike Bates. They provide structure and are the heart and souls of each team. Coaches have to love the game. The team reflects the coach, if he’s successful so will you be.

    As the sun rises to its highest peak of the day, the local high school team starts heading to the dry dirt filled football field. As the athletes make their way to the field the dust rises and the smell of the soil hits their nose. The athletes continuing their daily ritual, get into their usual formations and start their warm ups. The head coach, Shane Cox, walks around and initiates small talk with the players. Shane Cox inherited the head position at Fairfax High School in 1999. He turned around a football program that hasn’t won a single football game in two years; Shane Cox has won two Los Angeles Division II City Championships in the past decade. Serving for more than 13 years, Coach Cox has contributed a lot of his time and effort into this program at Fairfax High School. A high school coach has to work additional hours during the sports season. This can result in a work week over 40 hours. Working nights, holidays, evenings and weekends are common for high school coaches. A high school coach has to be prepared to work in bad weather and be willing to travel with the team to different locations for games. They also run the risk of injury due to being on the sidelines during sports games. Although Coach Cox’s accomplishments for coaching are impressive, his accomplishments off the field are impressive as well. A football coach’s job is to not only improve his player athletically, but as a person as…
