Ice Skating Team: The Ice Formetts
I am currently on a synchronized ice skating team called The Ice Formetts. In our group we have a team caption, a coach, two line leaders and-now-overall twenty-four skaters. Our team caption focuses on expressive leadership. She tries to keep us all content and working together as a team. Our coach on the other hand, comes up with our programs and can be rather harsh. She does not care if she hurts our feeling, she just cares about the goal-which is to win at competitions. She uses instrumental leadership and we all highly respect her form of leadership. Our coach has charismatic authority and holds the most power on our team. While our coach is very important each of us holds a very important piece of our group. If one of us gets hurt or

    Frank Zamboni Ice Hockey In The 1800's

    Although ice hockey was originated in the early 1800’s, the first Zamboni did not hit the ice until 1949. For well over a century, the sheet of ice was resurfaced by tediously shoveling off the snow and pouring water back over the ice. The technique left the ice in a miserable, almost unskatable state by today’s standards. Not only was it a poor surface to skate on, resurfacing a sheet of ice took nearly over an hour and a half to complete. Frank Zamboni’s invention of the Zamboni not only brought convenience to the rink, it revolutionized the speed of the game.…

    Hoosiers a Film Review

    The leadership issue presented in the film is the lack of belief in the leader-that he can accomplish better than what has already taken place. In the beginning, the only person who thought much of Coach Dale was the man who hired him, Principal Cletus. Norman didn’t receive a warm welcome nor have the trust of the fathers of the sons on the team, the town, or the team itself. Coach Dale had to earn the trust and respect in order to lead the group of undisciplined individuals he…

    The Ice Skating Party

    There is a clear example of missing information in this story: Uncle Nathan sketches the stone man for Maida, and his sister teasingly suggests that he has “forgotten” something when drawing the “very complete” stone man. What is Summers hinting at here, and how does the drawing Uncle Nathan has made represent Uncle Nathan himself? (How is he like the “incomplete” stone man he has drawn?)…

    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).…

    Leadership Approaches: My Personal Definition Of Leadership

    Throughout the semester, we have worked on our personal definition of leadership. I have done my best to include all of the different leadership approaches within my definition. After a semester of learning about the various leadership approaches, my definition is the situational demonstration of the patience, morals, roles, attitude, culture, traits, skills, and behaviors needed to motivate a team that achieves common goals or desired outcomes. My original definition was an attitude or culture that others follow in order to achieve a common goal or desired outcome. Overall, I added a lot of terms to my definition to include all of the different leadership approaches.…

    Personal Narrative: Cheerleading

    In freshmen in high school, my coach told me that I was taking charge of the team, since the captain was absent. At first, I was excited that I was able to demonstrate my leadership qualities, but then pressure was piled onto me as I try to figure out how I should behave. However, I took a minute think back to what my captain typically did for warm-ups. What I found was my teammates taking me seriously and respected how I started practice.…

    Have you ever imagined not having a coach for your sports team? Or why your coach is so successful? Even though they are very demanding, they’re essential for any team’s success. “I demand a lot out of my players, but we have fun and I give them room to learn and make mistakes,” said Coach Mike Bates. They provide structure and are the heart and souls of each team. Coaches have to love the game. The team reflects the coach, if he’s successful so will you be. The coach needs to be disciplined and teach the fundamentals of the game. They should instill moral values into the team.…

    Focus on Leadership Coaching

    A critical component for a good leadership and communications coach is that they must be someone that can be completely trusted. They also must be a good communicator, and be able to effectively argue an opposing point of view, this is a key component in being able to challenge the individual being coached, and they would need to play the role of devil’s advocate. The coach would also have to have great critical thinking skills. A coach should be able to identify and challenge any false dichotomies that that the person being coached may create. Before assigning the role of coach, clear goals and objectives would need to be established, and those goals would need to be geared toward the growth and development of the person being coached.…
