Examples Of Hindrance Stressors
Hindrance Stressors
I have no experience in the workplace so I will talk about my experience of Hindrance Stressors in sports. This experience took place a year ago when I was 20 years old. It was my 2nd year of playing college basketball at Laney College in Oakland Ca. As one of the more mature and responsible players on a young team I did receive some management like responsibilities such as making sure my teammate were going to study hall on time, leading warm ups before practice, and basically being a extension of the coach to the rest of the player kind like the role of a team captain. Our team had more weaknesses than strengths this season. Some of our weaknesses for example were a team wide lack of respect for the coaching staff. Players were constantly breaking the rules set in place our coach and lacked the work ethic in practice or workouts needed

While this looks poorly on the players I believe it was ultimately the coach’s fault in how he managed the team. I did not fit in well with the team due to the fact I highly respected the coach and what he were trying to accomplish. This lead to coach giving pretty demanding roles on the team that caused a lot of stress for me. This is how I experienced Hindrance Stressors. While I experienced all three stressors but the main one that affected me was Role Overload. My role and goal going into the season last year was to lead my team in scoring and be a dependable offense player. I ended up with several other roles due to the lack of work ethic my teammates showed. I became team captain and was also given many other roles that coach wanted me to accomplish on the court. This lead to me become overwhelmed and failing to complete some of the roles I was giving. My stats for that season suffered and my scoring went down. I simply had too many roles that I couldn’t

    The Low Five

    After reading the story of the Low Five, it appears the new coach Shirley did not understand the complete concept of the leadership process. She was peering through the lens of only her coaching role, and not the lens of the basketball team, which were her (followers) and the leadership Situation which was her (method of training). I believe if Shirley had been willing to view all three lenses of the interactional framework surrounding leadership process, her vision would have been more reasonable and clearer as it related to the role of being an effective and efficient coach. I view Shirley as an Autocratic leader; she was negative and centered in her own power and decision making regarding the welfare of the team. She expected the team members to do what they were told without thinking for themselves, and she took full authority as well as assumed full responsibility for the success or failure of their quest (Kilburg, 2011).…

    When the season began, we did not have a coach to lead us, so we practiced apace with the Varsity squad. A few weeks into the season, the Varsity coach found us a mentor that would lead us. As a few more weeks went by, our coach started picking up on more activities, which was too much for her to handle so she left, and we were once again without a coach. The team began to fall apart and it became very stressful for all of us. After the first three months of cheering, we had lost 8 girls on the team. Throughout those three months, my…

    Coaches, like teachers, are responsible for the growth and well being of their players, so when things don’t go well with the team, the coaches come under fire. One big difference between a good teacher and a good coach is that a good coach can get fired just because of a team’s performance. I have seen many good coaches get fired just because they had the horrible task of coaching the “Clippers.” Good coaches can usually turn a bad team around after a couple of years, but must be given time to make the necessary changes to help the progress of the…

    Because Paul Gaffney said this about team work in sports “Teamwork in sport presents a variety of special challenges and satisfactions. It requires an integration of talents and contributions from individual team members, which is a practical achievement, and it represents a shared pursuit, which is a moral achievement. In its best instances team sport allows members to transform individual interests into a common interest, and in the process discover of part of their own identities. Teamwork is made intelligible by the collective pursuit of victory, but moral requirements importantly condition that activity.” (Gaffney, Paul). I believe if the Point University Basketball team first understand the meaning of teamwork and how it can help them win games. There was one insistent of the team agreeing on one thing together. That day both the captains got together and said to the team what is one thing we are trying to accomplish as a team this year the whole team agreed and said the all want to win a conference campion chip or to get a ring. I believe that was the only sign of teamwork that I’ve seen come from the team this year where they all came to gather as a team and said we are going to when a championship this year. I think teamwork is one of the best keys that the team needs to come together and help each other win rather than each time they lost a game one of our player would never take credit for the lose the just took the “non-team player” is to selfish to take credit for the lost they just blame it on the…

    We faced the only team who had beat us twice this year. The Los Angeles Clippers. They had amazing 3 point shooting along with a point guard and center who would throw opps like crazy. Along with the best Power Forward in the league, Ben Griffin. Our gameplan was mainly around stopping him. We came out rusty in Game 1, but eventually went on winning by 4 behind Jovan's 28 points and 9 assists. Game 2 was a close game till Jovan hit a 3 pointer with 5 seconds left to put the nail in the coffin. We knew Game 3 was going to be tough on their floor. We fought hard till the end, but lost by 3. We knew we had to win game 4, and that is what we did. We outscored them 63-41 in the second half, winning by 8. Game 6 was on our home floor, so it was a must-win situation. Jovan ending up having 46 points, 12 boards, and 8 dimes. We celebrated but know we had a tough team to face in the Cavs.…

    At my tournament the other weekend it was a college showcase meaning college coaches were coming from all around to recruit players. Tony, the ‘coach’ for the weekend did not play my teammates in their actual positions; therefore, they did not play to their highest potential since they never practiced the positions they were put in. It did not seem like many college coaches stayed long to watch my team, this is weird because my teammates are exceptional soccer players that any college would be lucky to have. Collage coaches did not stay long because Tony put his ego ahead of the team’s future soccer careers. The whole team knew that if Coach Jen was there she would have been all-in to make sure everyone look as sensational as they could. If Tony would have put his best foot forward, like any good coach, then my teammates would have been able to show colleges how amazing of soccer players they truly are. Studies from True Sport show that a coach is the leading positive influence on children. If a coach cannot make positive decisions, then it can be a domino effect leading to the players not making ‘good’ decisions risking their own playing…

    I worked so hard every day so that when I tried out for the team I knew that I was giving it my all. I had sacrificed so much time and taken advantage of every opportunity that was given to me. I was the youngest athlete that was trying out for the team so I had to prove to myself and others that I was worthy of their respect. I showed up to tryouts before anyone else, because I needed a spot on this team. When coach arrived he instantly made everyone run full court then wanted transition, ball, and dribbling drills. By the middle of the tryouts I could tell he was monitoring me very closely. He then made everyone run rebounding and…

    Their opponents were fast and aggressive on offense. Joey was more than just one of the best players on the team. Joey was the vocal leader of the team. He kept everyones heads up and led them while on the court. This was were he was to be missed but team lighting never fails to disappoint. In the third quarter a new leader emerged in the game and it was Will. While he was on the court you could hear him speak and call out to his team mates.

    I told my teammates when they see me open they should pass me the ball. I was messing up I was not thinking about no one except myself, I wanted to be the star really bad.

    Last year, the Portland Trail Blazers were the surprise and feel good story of the NBA. Losing a star in Lamarcus Aldridge in free agency, along with Wesley Matthews and Nicolas Batum spelled doom for Trail Blazers. Many in the media and across the league picked Portland to finish near the bottom of the west and destined for a lottery finish. Instead, the squad finished with 44 wins and advanced to the second round of the playoffs. The Blazers front office responded by retaining their talent and acquiring pieces through free agency. This included 100 million over 4 years for CJ McCollum, 40 million over 4 years for Moe Harkless, 75 million over 4 years for Allen Crabbe, and 70 million over 4 years for Evan Turner. This year, things have gone…
