“What potential problems could you see with Coach carter’s coaching style”.

success was a major point with coach carters coaching style. if there was no great success there was no point for the autocratic coaching style, as the players would not bother putting up with the hard coaching sessions, the suicides, the push ups, and critical coach carter.

respect was also another major aspect put across in the movie, coach carter stated that in order to gain respect they needed to give some respect. if this did not work with the players, coach carter would have given up on his team, and would have left them with out a victory.

this week i was faced with the challenge of dealing with misbehaviour of students non participation, and i felt i handled this quiet well.

bernadette from sedgwick of year 9, was unhappy with the way i was refereeing, the rules and the scores. 

she took the issue up with ms Dobbie and i gathered the girls and sat them down in  group and we sorted out the scores. the girls were happy wit the way the scores were settled.

i put the girls back on the field and the nastiness continued on the fields, with a few of the girls making comments about some of the other girls and myself.

i stopped the game and i explained to the girls that if they were not happy with the way i was coachingor the way the rules were they they could sit down and that i was not going to tollerate nastiness on the field.

bernadette kept carrying on and kept back chatting to me, so i asked her politley to sit off the field for 5 minutes to ‘cool off’. she toook offence to that and stormed off the field.

i restarted the game and the girls were fine, at the end of the game i explained to the girls that it is ok to be competitive, but bad sportsman ship is not tollerated at any level of sport.

i told the girls that they should treat each other with respect and that mistakes are going to be made.

i thought  handled the situation quiet well and ms dobbie was hapy with the decisions i made and the way i handled the group.

she said she was gooing to take the issue further with bernadettes year coordinator .

but overall i got a good coaching report, and im happy with how things worked out, as  stayed calm in the situation. 

for my first week of school sport i think i did quite well, with mrs dobbie giving me a good feedback sheet.

i need to work on getting players efficiently and quickly into teams.

i gave the kids good feedback throughout the game and gave them tips on winning.

i think i did fairly well gathering the equipment, and i allocated students jobs (i.e collecting cones)

i spoke in a nice calm manner, and told instructions clearly  and quickly and kept the rules simple.

we did a warm up and also stretched.

the boys participated well.

Sportsmanship 1. i believe that everyone should shake hands with everyone or most people from the other team before and after the game. 2. i believe that people should treat others (team mates and competitors) how they would like to be treated.3. i believe that players and caching staff should respect the match officials no matter what.  Wining And Loosing 1. wining is great  2. don’t be a saw looser 3. wining is not everything4. if you are wining and not playing your best you know you have a strong team5. you can play well and still loose. 6. it doesn’t matter what the score of the game is at the end, if you have learned something NEW,  then you have WON the game anyway Holistic Development  1. Participants involved should develop  1.physically                                                                        2. socially                                                                         3. emotionally  physically= players should improve some physical aspects  

the autocratic coaching style, is a strict form of coaching where the coach is in total control of the athletes training sessions and is in control of al decisions which are to be made. eg: a young athlete who wishes to try out for the olympic games in 2008 and is slacking of in his/her training sessions and needs to be greatly motivated in order to qualify. another coaching style is democratic where the players have and imput on decisions which are to be made, the environment in which the coaching is is more relaxed then autocratic which prevents stress from occuring. eg. where the team splits into different training teams and the coach allows them to make decisions  in a relaxed environment where it is not as strict.another form of coaching is laisse faire where the environment is extremely relaxed and the coach has little input on what the team is doing and allows the team to create all decisions based around what they want. eg. an under 16 girls netball team who are just playing for fun and are not to fussed on what they are coming on the ladder and are there mainly for recreation, fun and socialisation. 

i think that it is vital to manage all these different coaching styles at appropriate times. All these styles are different and they need to be used correctly. Autocratic shows a strict coach who makes all the decisions and is in total control, this situation would best be used in a situation like when organizing and managing just before the activity takes place. Democratic shows someone who is very relaxed and when it comes to making decisions will include player input and feedback a good situation to use this is when you begin to introduce new rules or are selecting the teams. Laisse Faire is similar to democratic but the coach is more relaxed and seems not to care all that often this type of style would be best for when the end of the training session has concluded and you just feel like having a bit of fun afterwards.

My sports coaching philosophy is that whilst playing a sport in your area of interest is not all about wining or losing, its about giving it 100% and being fully committed to your sporting interests. this will increase your self esteem and overall well being, by being able to say that you have given it your all.sportsmanship is also another major factor in sport, by being able to handle your win and losses and being and encouraging team player and motivating your tea to do their best.
