...Imagine being in the championship game for your state basketball tourney, your school hasn’t won this tourney in twenty years and it's your turn to make history. There is one minute left in the game, it's tied 35-35. Your coach and team is in a dilemma, since this is a school sport, your coach promised everyone to play in every game. The coach put in the scrubs and the other team scores making it 37-35 and before you know it, the championship game and making history had just slipped through your fingertips.. Your school and town is devastated. It’s the scrubs fault for having to go in, and now everyone is mad. No kids should have to be in that situation. Tryouts would prevent that. If there were tryouts the coach could focus more on winning rather than making sure everyone gets in. People may argue that getting cut from the team can lowers one's self esteem. According to Jeffrey Rhoads : for those that are slightly younger, inexperienced or less skilled, smaller roles or waiting until next year will benefit them. Anyways, if the athlete wasn’t good at the sport, therefore the coach...

...Resume Writing Your resume should fit on one page, don’t make margins too narrow (an inch all the way around is good), keep the font simple and 12 pt minimum (the last resume sample in the bulleted list you can get away with a smaller font to fit in the details). If you feel you don’t have enough information to include in your resume add other sports you play or list community service. The information on the resume must be factual, but this is the place where if your academics are not stellar and your soccer playing is, try to emphasize the great soccer player you are and make that jump off of the page. The academics will need to be on the resume too, but consider your strengths when you design your resume. Cover letters Every resume submitted to a college coach should be accompanied by a cover letter. The purpose of the cover letter is to introduce yourself to the coach in a more personalized fashion. Here is a good format for cover letters: Paragraph 1 – Introduce yourself and let the college coach know that you are interested in his/her program. It is always wise to mention that you have done research and be sure to include the name of the specific college in this paragraph. Paragraph 2 – Let the coach know that you have enclosed your resume that details your academic standing and soccer experience. Highlight your GPA and indicate what you would like to study in college if you know. Write about your H.S. soccer career and any titles or awards that...

Answer: Coach Carter is a great man who accepted an offer from Richmond High School as the basketball coach based on not only his own interest, but more interest of the basketball players’ future. As a former basketball player, he knew that the current educational system would lead the basketball players to no future, so he didn’t only pay attention on improving players’ basketball skills, but also focused on players’ academics. Under his coaching, Richmond basketball players not only improved their basketball skills, but also achieved high on academics.

These coaches talk about the love of the game, making baseball fun, competing with class, hustling, and integrity. The life lessons of failure, fear, frustration, loneliness, slumping, making adjustments and controlling emotions are lessons that are learned in this great game of baseball. This is a game of failure and young men must learn the ability to fail and bounce back, and I talk about this with my team all the time. The many different highs and lows of life are more easily handled if you have experienced this before and know how to handle it.

...cross country/track and field coach, Rudy Horvath. Coach Rudy was a well-known and greatly admired individual who not only exhibited great leadership skills throughout the school, but also in his community. Coach Rudy has been a member of the faculty at Cabrini High School for 14 years. Not only was he a skilled teaching, teaching both history and psychology courses, but in my opinion of the best track coaches that I’ve ever had the pleasuring of working with. Rudy Horvath was like a father figure to most with his protective demeanor and powerful words of wisdom. I truly believe that Coach Rudy was and still can be considered a great leader simply because he has experience working with other individuals and does an extraordinary job of motivating them to be the best at something. He’s also creating a positive atmosphere to set examples in order for others to reach their goals.

...Coaching Done Right As a coach, you’re given an opportunity to make the biggest impact in an athlete’s life. Ever since I started playing sports I’ve always wanted to coach, but I believe Coach Mike my baseball coach was one of the big influences on me pursuing coaching. During the off season he’d come pick us up to go do morning practices. The extra time he put into making sure we were confident with our skills, the way he befriended us and the extra things he did to help us out really showed me the power a coach has. That was the defining moment where I decided I wanted to become a coach. I believe that no matter how many wins and championships you have your not a great coach unless you have connected with all your player and staff members. In today’s age, a coach is like an extra parent or a best friend to athletes. The role of a coach is to not only to teach their athletes the technical and tactical components of their sport, but to also show them good sportsmanship and character both on and off the field. In some cases a coach is the most important figure in a athletes life. Coaches encourage you to be the best you can possibly be and help prepare you for the next level. A coach is the first person an athlete will go to when they don’t know what to do. Through my experience playing sports that I noticed that kids are more...

Being effective in your workplace means getting a job done with the least amount of time and fuss. To do this you will need to: Identify what work needs to be done Identify what resources (people and equipment) you need to complete the work. How do you know what work needs to be done? It is a good idea to keep track of the work you need to do by making a list of all the tasks and duties you and your work team must complete. Make sure your list includes not only obvious jobs such as orders that need to be filled, but also less obvious jobs such as maintaining equipment, cleaning and preparing for the job. These tasks may seem minor, but can cause big problems if they are forgotten. Whose job is it? One of the difficulties of identifying your work tasks is knowing what work you are responsible for and what is the responsibility of others. You should be clear about what you need to do and what other people can be expected to do. This requires a good deal of communication between your workers and workers in other areas. Always check before you assume that a task is someone else‟s responsibility. BSBMGT502B Manage people performance March 2008 Version 1 Page 4 of 35 What resources will you need?

It gave him a chance to pass on his work to a new generation of men who were trying to find their way. 2. I think that Coach Erman and Coach Biff were great coaches and had very good methods as coaches. Instead of yelling at the boys if they weren't good enough they would encourage them to try harder next time. Their approach towards the Gilman football team was what made them such a good team and gave their players a different meaning of friendship. One of their best coaching methods was going to the chapel before each game and having a talk about life. It gave the boys a chance to reflect...
