Summary Of Branick's Six Characteristics Of Coaching
I took interest while reading this article about coaching and what makes a good coach just because I immediately associated it with football. Branick uses Swales’ six characteristics to analyze coaches discourse community. Three of the characteristics were easy to distinguish and those being goals, lexis, and genres. He was effective by explaining how goal involved with coaches is really important not just with them but to help the athlete set goals and meet them. Lexis was described as being important almost as a code word for coaches, this word could have many different meanings, as in plays or formations. Genres being essential for coaches because they refer this to playbooks. Playbooks are the key piece for a coach and the players so that

    Coach Bob Knight and Coach Mike Krzyzewski are arguably two of the best coaches to have ever coached college basketball in terms of notoriety and success. Anyone can reference a stat book and realize how successful these two coaches have been, according to the numbers, but comparing their leadership styles and approach to the game is a whole other story. While the two coaches have completely different leadership styles, Coach K and Coach Knight have more in common than just developing future NBA All-Stars, winning NCAA championships, and becoming a legend in the sport of college basketball. It so happens that Coach K and Coach Knight began what would become a lifetime friendship at the United States Military Academy at WestPoint where, then freshman cadet, Mike Krzyzewski was a player on Coach Knights basketball squad. Coach K would later become Coach Knight’s graduate assistant coach at Indiana University, the school where Coach Knight made his mark on college basketball.…

    She starts off by telling a story of her youth where she had a very harsh coach she referred to as “Coach Cowboy Boots” as if he wasn’t even deserving of a name. When she goes on deeper into detail she begins using very large amounts of pathos to say that not having a female coach in her life caused her to only be able to look up to athletes as a role model, rather than having one teach her along the way. This causes readers to have sympathy for her and all other young girls growing up without having a role model to look up to personally in their lives. She also uses pathos to say that “men are more likely to hire other men across many professions, even when there are equally or better-qualified female candidates” (435). This is not completely true as some men are hired because they are more equipped for the job, not just because they are men. But this being said, it does give an impression off that only men hire men because they did not think women are capable at coaching at that high of a demand or for that qualified of a job due to how high the pay…

    coaching philosophy

    As a coach I want to be the leader of a successful program who helps student athletes excel on and off of the field. I will do this by first hiring good assistant coaches around me who can help me bring my vision to reality. It will require dedication from the student athletes in the classroom and in practice and games to be the absolute best they can be in any situation. It will be up to me to instill in my athletes hard work and dedication in everything they do. So I will first need them to respect and maybe even fear me a little bit, but I still need to maintain a close enough relationship with them to where they can consider me a friend and be able to turn to me in any time of need. I will first stress the importance of hard work through drills and conditioning, but at the same time not make it feel like work for them; make them understand there is a reason for all of the things that we do on a daily basis. Once the team understands what it takes to play for me; maybe even some quit because they think it will be too hard, that's what I want; I don't want the weak ones who will give up on themselves and their teammates, only the strong will survive. Then you can evaluate each individual in every facade of the game and start to teach them in the areas that they are weak and strengthen their strengths. I want my team to be able to runs themselves without one coach needed at a practice or a game. Of course coaches will be there but by halfway through a season I want my team to run like a well-oiled machine not needing any coaches to tell them to do any specific thing. I will instill in my team self confidence that they can do anything, beat anyone, and achieve any goal that they set their minds on on any given day. I will teach about winning and losing, how to win and stay humble and how to lose and not have your confidence shaken to the point to where you struggle to perform. I will teach…

    Many coaches have their own philosophy to live by. Some coaches are to win, some are to teach the players to be responsible, and some are to allow the players to just have fun. When the word philosophy comes to mind I immediately think of the words and accomplishments a coach should live by. My coaching philosophy is one that is not fully developed. Right now my philosophy is to win but at the same time teach my players to be responsible. Of course everything is easier in words than it is to follow out in actions.…

    Nicole, I believe coaching is very important just like you do this week. I believe an effective coach can make the difference between a winning, successful, and happy team versus a struggling team in the workplace. If the coach is doing their job correctly the team will be willing to learn, communicate, and be more effective. I feel that if the coach is effective in communicating with the workers things will run more smoothly.…

    After reading these three articles between how coaches and players do not get along with them attacking each other and when a player does something terrible and the coach defends them. We all have been in a situation where we do not want to be talked to by a family member or friend just because he had a bad day, but when you bring that attitude to a sporting event or practice sometimes the player or coach my lose their composure. Which happened in the three articles that I read, dealing with Latrell Sprewell choked his coach PJ Carlesimo during practice, coach Bobby Knight choked one of his own players Neil Reed, and when Rick Carlisle defended Ron Artest and other players he coached after the brawl in Detroit. In reading those articles I feel that they told me that there is either a bad, competitive, or good relationship between a player and coach. The one with Sprewell and Carlesimo, Sprewell who showed up to practice late that day choked his coach Carlesimo because Carlesimo wanted to know where he has been for being late. Although in the article it states that racial comments were said to Sprewell, but later found out that there were no such thing. So Sprewell was fired by the Golden State Warriors, the team he played for at the time, and was suspended by the NBA for the remainder of the season. In the article about Bobby Knight choking his player Neil Reed, it was halftime during a game when Bobby Knight was still coaching the Indiana University 's men 's basketball team and Knight was so upset with his players that the one player Neil Reed said something to Knight and Knight went after him and started choking him. After the news broke out about that incident the Indiana University 's President fined Bobby Knight $30,000 and suspended him three games. In the final article I read coach Rick Carlisle defends Ron Artest 's actions against the Detroit Pistons fan that threw a cup of beer at him and then Artest went after him in that brawl we…

    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.…
