Recommended: Obstacles in life

About half a second after the door closed, Abbey asked how it went, so I told her the basics. She asked me what you were going to do, and I told her we were going to fight to keep our team together. She asked if it didn't work, would you still coach her and the other younger girls, and I told her probably not. Then she started to silently cry. It was heartbreaking. I will help you fight this fight. You know this, and you know I'll do whatever needs to be done. All I ask is one thing...I know right now your emotions are running high, and I know you have a few drinks in you, so it's very easy to say you're not going to coach. But when this fight is truly over, and IF it does not go our way, before you make that final decision about what you are going to do, just remember who this impacts the most. I'm not asking you to do something you truly don't want to do, all I'm asking is to think about if trying to prove a point to a bunch of assholes who don't care is worth having this group of girls miss out on what you bring to the table. …show more content…

She sees an incredibly strong, independent woman who has to fight "the man" just to earn a fraction of the respect the male coaches are freely given because they have a penis. She's watched you win these little victories over and over again over the past couple years and has a tremendous amount of respect for you because of it. She has more than a coach, she has a role model. While I don't doubt that her soccer skills would continue to grow under Jason, that very important piece would be

    By the time I got home, my brother had already arrived and was enthusiastically recounting the day’s events to my mom, who had obviously been crying. When he finally stopped carrying on, my mom told me to sit down and then she told me. I will never forget her exact words or even the way she said them. “Megan committed suicide today.” I stared blankly at her, I knew she had to be lying, she had to be wrong, Megan would never do that. We had been too good of friends for too long, I knew her too well. Megan was always happy, she always had a joke to tell. She had such a bright future, she was an excellent athlete and it seemed as though she succeeded in everything she tried.

  • Cheer Team Essay

    To stay on the JMU cheer team or to quit was a very hard decision that I had to make this past month. Knowing I had leadership responsibilities as a third year veteran on the team made this decision extremely difficult for me. I had to consider all the parties involved which consisted of myself, my teammates, and my coaches. Several factors fell into play when deciding what was best not only myself but for my team as well. The first and most important factor I had to consider was my physical health as I have back problems that requires annual back procedures in order to be able to cheer. A relatively new factor in my decision making progress was the hiring of the new JMU cheer coach, which was extremely difficult for the upperclassmen to adjust to. My last few personal factors that played a role in my decision consisted of getting a job and focusing more on my school work. Next I had to consider what was best for the cheer team. I knew as an upperclassmen I needed to support the cheer program to help keep it strong and consistent during the coaching transition. This was hard to do when several other upper classmen were quitting the team due to this change. I also knew I had a responsibility to teach the incoming freshman new skills the same way the juniors and seniors taught me when I was a freshman. Not only did my team need me but I also took into consideration the contract I signed when making the team my freshman year. After taking everything into consideration

    Although it might seem obvious as to why she has been granted the position, some have still questioned the decision, to which Arians has said, “I wanted to open that door,” he stated. “Coaching is nothing more than teaching. The one thing I’ve learned from players: all they want to know is ‘How you going to make me better? If you can make me better, I don’t (care) if you’re the Green Hornet. I’ll listen.’

  • My Life Of Cheerleading

    869 Words  | 2 Pages

    Four years ago during the summer before my first year of high school, I started volunteering as coach of a fourth grade cheer squad with three of my friends. We needed to teach twenty-eight girls a one-minute dance and a hello cheer before their first game. I went into that first practice very naive, believing the girls would listen and do as I say. That practice turned out to be a complete mess. The kids jumped all over me, would not pay attention for more than three motions, and repeatedly asked me random questions about the things I liked. That two hour practice was one of the most hectic and frustrating moments I have experienced, but, at the same time, it was new, exciting, and entertaining. The past years of coaching have allowed me to form strong relationships with these girls to the point where I see them as my little sisters. Being their coach involves more than just teaching them cheers and dances, sometimes I have to settle their differences, comfort them, and let them have fun. When the girls reached sixth grade, the team started to go through drama. One practice, two girls

    I was sipping my water and chatting with my friends while we were sitting under the palapa and waiting for everybody else to come back from our first round of matches. After everybody came back, the coaches started to call out names for scores, as usual. Jose started laughing when Coach Alex called out Susannah and Paige's name because Susannah had lost to Paige. Susannah was the best player at the camp, but probably only lost to Paige because she was distracted. When she hadn't been able to concentrate this morning during drills, I asked if she was okay and she said that

    I think the coach was very effective in her communicating skills; she interacted with the girls and was constantly preaching how the girls should be picking each other up and being a team, which is very important. Even though I think she was a good communicator when it came to technique and drills, I think she didn’t handle confrontation as well as she should of. When a girl rolled her eyes or talked back when she was trying to instruct, the coach seemed to just let it go or she would say a rude comment back to the athlete. If I were her I would let her know that’s not appropriate and if it continued to happen I would take her aside to talk to her. Sometimes as a coach I make girls run if they don’t behave, they might not enjoy it but it teaches them to listen instead of misbehave when they should be

We have explained how we feel about the situation to our parents, but because the coaches are bias and don’t take constructive criticism well, our parents don’t want to risk hurting our opportunity as a player on the team. We have explained how we feel about the situation to our coaches, but because they are self-righteous, they are oblivious to their own faults. Time after time we have tried to fix the situation. Our complaints have been ignored and nothing has been done to restore our rights as student athletes.
