I love your idea of incorporating health coaching into your practice. I have the fortunate opportunity to be a part of a program that uses a health coaching model to empower seniors to remain healthy independent and in their homes. The main goal of the program is to prevent hospital admission. The coaching model is designed to meet an individual’s goal. An initial survey is complete with the patient that highlights the active issues for the patient. It is a holistic approach and we are not only concerned with medical needs but social and any other barrier that are presenting a challenge for that patient. Once active issues have been identified the coach works to identify resources to mitigate the need. The coach does not simply…

I would apply Person centered therapy in the practice of recovery coaching. Person Centered therapy suggests that any client, no matter what the problem or dilemma they are facing, can improve without being taught anything specific by the therapist, once the client accepts and respects themselves (Shaffer, 1978). The resources all lie within the client. The counselor must enter into the client's unique phenomenological world. By mirroring this world, the counselor does not contradict (Shaffer, 1978), nor do they attempt to delve into the unconscious. The focus is on immediate conscious experience. This is a therapy of freeing a person and removing obstacles so that normal growth and development can proceed and the client can become independent and move forward in their life own their…

As a coach I want to be the leader of a successful program who helps student athletes excel on and off of the field. I will do this by first hiring good assistant coaches around me who can help me bring my vision to reality. It will require dedication from the student athletes in the classroom and in practice and games to be the absolute best they can be in any situation. It will be up to me to instill in my athletes hard work and dedication in everything they do. So I will first need them to respect and maybe even fear me a little bit, but I still need to maintain a close enough relationship with them to where they can consider me a friend and be able to turn to me in any time of need. I will first stress the importance of hard work through drills and conditioning, but at the same time not make it feel like work for them; make them understand there is a reason for all of the things that we do on a daily basis. Once the team understands what it takes to play for me; maybe even some quit because they think it will be too hard, that's what I want; I don't want the weak ones who will give up on themselves and their teammates, only the strong will survive. Then you can evaluate each individual in every facade of the game and start to teach them in the areas that they are weak and strengthen their strengths. I want my team to be able to runs themselves without one coach needed at a practice or a game. Of course coaches will be there but by halfway through a season I want my team to run like a well-oiled machine not needing any coaches to tell them to do any specific thing. I will instill in my team self confidence that they can do anything, beat anyone, and achieve any goal that they set their minds on on any given day. I will teach about winning and losing, how to win and stay humble and how to lose and not have your confidence shaken to the point to where you struggle to perform. I will teach…

I often wondered how people succeeded in balancing their personal lives and maintaining a career at the same time. “One has to take a backseat,” I thought. Through the years, I have come to realize that it is not necessarily the case. When I came here to this country to work, I got to meet many people who I have come to admire in their pursuit and success in living a well-balanced family and professional life. Then I said to myself, “It is not easy but very possible.”…
