Why I Want To Be A Volleyball Coach
This is the first time in which a volleyball coach has assigned a team that I have been on a long term homework assignment. The very nature of this shows me that at Hillsdale, I will be held to a high standard, and that my coach is as dedicated to making me a well-rounded student athlete as I am. In one of the paragraphs on page 2 Coach states that, "[He] believes by entering this program you are entering into one of the best ‘temp’ jobs you will ever have. With this honor comes responsibility, which is not always easy." Once again this reiterates the fact that I will be held to a very high standard, and that by working hard, I will have an awersome time these next four years. Another thing that stood out to me was the emphasis on everyone

    1. According to the twelfth edition of Sports in Society by Jay Coakley, “"Generalizing about high school and college sport programs is difficult because programs and the conditions under which participation occurs are so diverse” (Coakley, 476). However, there are definitely some broad, widespread issues that are found within the majority of high school sports programs. The textbook offers a plethora of claims against interscholastic sports, and one that stood out to was the claim that highlighted the pressure that interscholastic sports place on student-athletes. Unlike club sports, high school sports practice for over 2 hours every day after school and have games on weeknights, leaving little time to prepare for exams and to get homework done.…

    I grew up in a family where I was constantly told “girls should not play sport”. It has been very challenging for me from a very young age but other people’s opinions never stopped me doing what I wanted to do. Instead of letting it have a negative impact on me, playing sports gave me the drive and motivation to set myself challenging but realistic goals not only in my performance but goals regarding my current life affairs. As I grew older I started questioning how humans are able to carry out certain skills and movements within sport. This helped me gain an interest in trying to understand how the human body works.…

    Whenever I think back to highschool I am always reminded of the fun times I had playing sports. The friendships I built and diciplines I learned still affect my life today. Playing volleyball helped me learn good time management skills especially when I started playing for the local club team. The highschool team was demanding but when club season started that became your life. School, practice, homework, sleep was my weekday schedule. The weekend tournaments didn’t allow for much of a break either. A minimum of 4 matches and if you won the bracket, you could expect atleast 2 more. Putting in hard work and dedicating countless hours wasn’t all for nothing though.…

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.…

    "Apurva! Hurry up, let's go, stop playing around!" After Sunday school it was customary for the youth group to do community service together, however I never really liked to participate, instead I preferred to play basketball. While everyone was assigned a specific task on a weekly basis, I was never the person who cared about what I did. They would call me from where they were working, to get my attention. I heard them and chose to ignore them, because I figured that playing basketball would be more fun. However, It had never occurred to me that maybe I was not doing what I needed to do as someone my age or was not as involved as my peers. This changed when one of my friends approached me and told me that if I love to play sports, and I’m good with the younger teens. Which gave me an idea to start organizing youth sport…
