...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...

...Josh A Don Bailey English 12 19 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...

...are very important because they generate the revenue, through ticket sales and television contracts, that support the other sports Big State competes in. In addition, when the football and basketball teams are successful, applications and enrollments to Big State tend to increase, as do alumni donations. It is no exaggeration to say that after the university president, the athletic director, football coach, and men’s basketball coach are the three most important employees at Big State. Recently you have been hearing some disturbing rumors about the football team and its coach though, and you aren’t sure what to do. Football coaches are known for being tough on their players—yelling and swearing are commonplace and generally condoned as motivational tactics. What coach Steve Jones is accused of is another story though. One of the assistant coaches, who was recently fired, secretly took a video with his cell phone that shows the coach throwing footballs at the players’ heads, sometimes from behind, when they make mistakes or appear not to be listening. The audio is equally disturbing. In addition to the usual cursing, the coach can be heard using sexist and anti-gay slurs. This is especially troubling since because of a...

...2 Chapter VI Program Development Working hard, being passionate, and developing skilled players are the cornerstones of building a solid program. It is important for coaches to have good relationships with the other members of the faculty at the school. All teachers want to be treated with respect. They would expect the other members of the faculty to support the athletic team, just as they will support their full-time teacher duties. Concerning a coach's own coaching staff, there must be great cooperation between all of the members of the staff. Expectations for athletes, physically, emotionally, academically and socially Everything we do is for a reason and a purpose. Consequently, our workouts are very intense, relatively brief and never more than four times per week. With the goal in mind that players reach their potential for size and strength by the time they graduate. We are not a weightlifting team, nor are we marathon runners. Too much emphasis in one area of training will leave the athlete deficient in other areas. Overall fitness, specific to the needs of the game is our priority. There are several elements that make up my team level of fitness. They are muscular strength, cardiovascular fitness, flexibility, sports nutrition, skill acquisition, speed development and rest and recovery. Athletic competition for my players should be fun and should be a significant part of a sound educational program, embodying high standards of ethics and sportsmanship...

...Bess 1 Bess 1 Interview Material The vocation I would one-day love to have is to be a “big time” women’s college basketball coach. Even if I do not become “big time,” and I am just a regular coach that is also fine with me, because Proverbs 22:1 says, “A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, and favor is better than silver or gold.” Ron Greene was the first guest speaker that we had the opportunity to hear speak in class. He is a very well known and accomplished non-profit executive with an extensive record in helping children grow into what they aspire to be. He provides leadership, management and direction to boys and girls club organizations in completing its tasks of developing children into positive, productive, open-minded, and responsible adult citizens. Ron Greene’s overall goal if nothing else is to impact lives of people positively and that is also the goal I have set forth for myself in pursuing this career. As long as I am able to impact lives positively through my coaching, that will make it all worthwhile. I interviewed Morris Brandon who is my former AAU coach, who is now an assistant coach at Virginia Union University. He has coached many basketball teams, on all different levels, starting from Boys and Girls Clubs all the way up to the college level. He enjoys this job to the fullest because it allows him to impact lives positively, and he also gets to be around the game that he loves....

...& 2012-2013 INTRODUCTION The primary purpose of this handbook is to acquaint you with the rules and expectations of the softball program. You are responsible to read and understand the contents in this handbook. In the event that there is something in the handbook you do not understand, please bring it to my attention as soon as possible. Our policies have been placed in this booklet so you will understand from the outset what is expected our players. This handbook was not made to disrupt the lines of communication between the coaches and the parents, but to encourage it. Participating in Softball is a privilege and not a right; we hold higher standards for girls who participate in softball than we would for those students who choose not to participate. The main goal for the Softball Program is to establish discipline for the girls. Without discipline we cannot achieve our goals that we have set for the team. Discipline is defined as “Training which corrects, molds, or perfects the mental faculties or moral character, behavior which results from such training; obedience to authority or rules; punishment meant to correct poor behavior”. The second goal of the Softball Program is to teach the girls how to work as a team to accomplish the teams and each individual player’s goals for the season. Remember, “ It ’s not the name that is on the back of the uniform i t ’s the nam e on t he front that counts ” . EXPECTATIONS 1. Players are expected to represent the community, school...

...The world of Kpop In a world where music dominates and influences everything we do, there is a new type of music that is quickly progressing in popularity, not only nationally but globally as well. Kpop is Korean pop music, although it is not only pop music, it is also trot, hip hop and R&B and Rap. It is a competitive field that requires hard work and determination. Kpop is not only music though; it is a guide that can help give a person more insight about the world around them. It is a hard thing to be an idol in Korea, there are so many values and difficulties they must overcome in order to achieve recognition and fame. If someone were to want to be an idol in South Korea then their best bet would be to go to “The Big Three”. YG Entertainment, JYP Entertainment, and SM Entertainment, These three companies are named “The Big Three” because they are three of the most highly distinguished and accomplished companies in all of South Korea. “The Big Three” have led many idols to fame in not only South Korea but globally as well. In comparison to Canada or the US you could call South Korean’s harsh with the way they train upcoming artists, but they have higher standards. The training process consists of around three year’s minimum of being a trainee and there are many hardships that must be overcome through that process. The trainee years are what determine whether or not a person can make it in the competitive field of being a Korean pop idol. Have you ever looked around and...

...Abstract The intent of the paper is to examine current trends in the most commonly defined contribution retirement plan, the 401(k) plan. It will outline the best course of action to achieve an effective plan and maximize employee participation. This paper will review current mandates regulated by government agencies and explain the importance of remaining in compliance. Finally, the paper discusses best practices for implementation, as well as the best ways to promote a 401(k) plan within your organization. Throughout the process the details of the 401(k) plan at Tampa Bay & Company, a small sized organization, will be compared to other non-governmental company 401(k) plans to highlight specific examples and draw comparisons. Overall 401(k) Trends In response to the economic downturn there has been an increasing surge of employers who are lowering benefits associated with 401(k) plans. The most common trends are employers reducing the amount of match, reducing the portion of the match, or eliminating the match altogether. Over the past couple of years several surveys have been completed by investment firms, revealing that the number of employers who have decreased company contributions is on the rise. Some surveys show as low as a 7% decrease, but the majority of surveys claim that the amount is closer to 25% of employers who decreased matches or ceased employee contributions all together. Nearly two-thirds of employers still continue to provide matching contributions...

...The Impact of Korean Popular Culture on Consumer Behavior Abstract The Korean wave hit Asia in the early 2000’s, initially through television dramas, and has gradually skyrocketed in popularity, expanding its reach to the film and record industry as well. Its success is owed to the effective combination of Western pop-culture with an added Asian flavor, across all its industries. With the sudden influx of Korean boy or girl pop groups led by pop idols worshipped by many fans, the media industry managed to tap on the popularity of certain idols, starring them in television dramas and hence garnering support from fans all over Asia. Together with popular drama series came its respective memorabilia, such as posters, bags, accessories – you name it, they have it. This paper serves to explore how the wave of Korean popular culture (commonly known as the Hanryu) on television today has had an impact on the behavior of people who participate in this Hanryu culture, not only through purchases of memorabilia, but also through changes to their lifestyle. The Influence of Hanryu on Consumer’s Buying Behavior Media, and the television to be specific, can be seen as a medium for informal learning, as well as influence. It is sometimes known as a socializing agent, which can influence who we are and what is expected of us. Just like how advertisements serve to increase the perception that consumers have towards a certain brand or product, occasionally using attractive endorsers or impactful...

...Retirement Plan and Communication Proposal Ebony Brown HRM/324 January 24, 2012 Jocelyn Freimark The design of a company’s benefits program is important to ensure the plans fit the structure of the company and the needs of its employees. Being a new company starting with 150 employees it will be important to design a varied and comprehensive retirement program that will not only address the needs of the company’s current employees, but will also attract potential employees, and be affordable for the company. Qualified plans “entitle employers and employees to substantial tax benefits” (Martocchio, 2009, p. 3), because neither has to pay taxes on contributions within a dollar limit outside of defined contribution plans. As an additional benefit, investment earnings are tax free and participants and their beneficiaries do not pay taxes on retirement benefits until the funds are received. There are two types of qualified retirement plans: defined benefit plan and defined compensation plan. A challenge of the defined benefit plan is that it may prove to be more costly for employers as employer contribution rates fluctuate yearly and requirements may be difficult for employers to ensure all the funds are available for participants or beneficiaries to receive. In this case, the best retirement benefit design option is the defined contribution plan. Under the defined contribution plans “employers and employees make annual contributions to separate...

..."Breaking news! The famous U-Known from T.V.X.Q had been sent to the hospital! The manager stated that he had been acting really strange and ended up vomiting blood. Authorities had said that a fan had dressed up as an employee and gave him a drink that contains adhesive!" the T.V stated. In Collin Palmer's essay, "A Healthy Obsession," he explained how being obsessed is okay, and it does not affect anyone in a negative way, but it helps people in a positive way. Fans these days had been violating idols' private life, and they would do anything to get close to their favorite celebrities. Fans who stalks celebrities these days can take it too far which can cause them to do negative things to themselves and everyone else around them. Fans these days that stalk celebrities would imitate their favorite idols in many ways whether it is good or bad. In "The Impact Celebrities Have on Our Lives," written by Deborah King, she stated, "For instance, if you are not centered and balanced energetically, and you don't feel so good about who you are. you are much more likely to follow your favorite celebrities and wish that you could be them." What King meant is that fans do not like how they are or how they look like. They would most likely follow what their favorite celebrity's look or their way of acting so they could be like them, which can lower their self- esteem. In the same article by Deborah King, she stated, "The sad fact is that we are more enthralled by celebrities who have bad...
