Recommended: Importance of intelligence in teaching and learning

When I came to Reinhardt College, I had to meet new people. I had to meet new teachers,

coaches, and students. One coach who stood out to me is coach Jonathan Lenarz. He is

the Reinhardt soccer coach and teaches Reinahardt Orientation and Wellness. There are many things that

I can say about Jonathan Lenarz, like he is a careing, understanding, and intelligent person.

Caring is a great way to decribe a coach because he looks out for players on his team and also

anyone who is around him. Coach Lenarz is the kind of person who tries to help students in anyway that

he can. He is always giving a helping hand. In fact, Coach always tells the guys on the team that if they

need someone to talk to they can always go talk to him.

Also, Coach is the kind of person that one can talk to about anything that is going on in

one's life. He will not make juddgemants, even if it is something that is pretty bad. After talking to

Coach, it seems like he always knows just what to say and when.

The Coach is a very intelligent person. He always knows how to explain

directions to everyone. Explaining directions is not always easy, because not everyone understands the

first time. For example we have many foriegn players on our team this season and not all of them can

speak nor understand English very well.

Another instructer that I have meet since I have been at Reinhardt College is my Western

Civilization teacher, Sean Martin. Dr. Martin is very intelligent, but sometimes that can be a great thing

and a bad thing.

Dr. Martin is one of the smartest teachers that I have ever had . A student could

probably ask him any question about history, and he would know the answer. I believe that it very

important for a teacher to know what he is talking about. Then there is another side to being too

intelligent. One reason that it is not always a great thing is because a very intelligent teacher can go way

to fast for some people.

    Coaches should have an arrangement of fundamental abilities that they depend on to produce a positive outcome. Definition of a coach from the American Heritage Dictionary, Third Edition (page 167) One who trains or directs an individual or team, to train or instruct teach a team. The goal behind coaching is to exhibit the ability to get the most out of everyone on the team. It should be a goal to bring out the greatest potential from every team member. It’s insane how many players do not even know their true potential. Successful coaches assess these individuals and the team to advance them to the next level of sports. "The Little Book of Coaching, Motivating People to be Winners" by Ken Blanchard and Don Shula (2001) gives a great acronym of the word C-O-A-C-H. The acronym breaks down as follows: Conviction Driven: never compromise your beliefs-Overlearning: practice until it is perfect-Audible-Ready: know when to change-Consistency: respond predictably to performance-Honesty-Based: walk your talk. This acronym should remind you of your job as a coach. A good coach

    I remember the first time I saw Marty 12 years ago. You couldn't miss him, of course. It was Computer Science 101, a lecture hall with hundreds of students. He would skate into class 20 minutes late, flip his skateboard up onto his desk, crack open a chocolate milk and begin to drink... 200 eyes on him. Martin would turn around and give us a little wave. The thing was, and it *clearly* pissed off the Professors, he routinely scored the highest marks in the class on every assignment. Immediately I said to myself, "I need to know this guy..." So I cornered him and announced, "You and I are going to be friends..." Martin looked me up and down and said, "Uh....No thanks..."

    Coaching is not only showing a team what to do, but explaining to them why it is so. Each game, the coach is accountable for getting all 11 players on the field working as one unit. He's responsible for preparing his team for battle each week and for making sure his game-time decisions are flawless. The coach is not only the head of the team, but a leader for all the players. A coach must maintain a pristine level of emotion and discipline so that he is respected by everyone.

  • Coaching Track

    1131 Words  | 3 Pages

    To be a successful coach, the first thing a coach has to do is become well acquainted with the athlete. The coach should get to know the athlete’s life outside of track. If the coach does not know the person as an individual then he would not be able to coach them. According to a collegiate track athlete, “a track coach should not only improve your running, but he should improve your way of life” (Jones). I believe that statement is true. A coach needs to have that close personal connection with their athletes. Like a teacher would have a connection to a student. With out that teacher, student connection the athlete will not enjoy learning nor will the coach be able to teach the athlete. In fact, a coach is a teacher, and the athlete is a student. That should be true for all coaches, not just a track coach.

    My interest in Harvey Mudd began with my love of engineering and liberal arts, but I was ultimately hooked by the teachers. They genuinely care for their students and approach each class with great thought. I attended a materials science class where the professor inserted practice problems into her lecture. This gave everyone the opportunity to check their understanding and ask for help. I appreciated that the professors I saw were not rushing through the material. Instead, they welcomed questions, which perfectly fits my learning style. They were brilliant and engaging, and I was inspired by every

    All of my Towslee teachers were some of the best that I have ever had. This being said, out of all of them, one of the most influential teachers I had was Miss Boyer (now Mrs. Mellis). I remember that I had her for her first year teaching – it was so much fun. It was easy to see that she loved her job. I hope to be as enthusiastic of a teacher as her. being young at the time (it was second grade), I was still really impressionable and her teaching methods, along with the positive experiences that I had in her class, helped to mold my strong work ethic and yearning to gain more knowledge. To this day, I still use some of the little tricks that Miss Boyer taught us to aid us in remembering things. In fact, in my geography class last semester

    Coaching, however challenging, is a great way to influence the lives of others while also building their character.
