Sport Coach

I have been an employee for the Town of Richmond Hill for only a year now, which really surprises me because of how far I have come in this venture. From being a fellow student in swimming lessons, to taking lengthy, more advanced courses; I had finally reached my goal of being hired as a lifeguard/instructor near the beginning of grade 11. Little did I know, that was only the beginning of my journey that led up to me becoming a head coach of my own R.H.L.C team!

What is R.H.L.C? Well, the Richmond-Hill-Lifesaving-Club is a year-round program that introduces young athletes to lifesaving by placing them in a competitive sport-like environment. When we gather for practice on Monday nights, I like to begin with a team discussion …show more content…

Because of this, the committee and I were able to sell nearly all of the tickets for the 50/50 raffle.

I was the leader of the “Green team” and led my group towards placing first in the cheer contest by organizing an inspiring team chant.

    In the past four years of my life, no activity has affected me more than wrestling. Four years of varsity wrestling and the honor of being a team captain has instilled many qualities in me. First, through years of hard work and continuous dieting, wrestling has given me discipline. This discipline has spread to other parts of my personality, including my moral character, work ethic, and perserverence. Another quality wrestling has given me is leadership. As a team captain, I have learned to lead by example, both on and off the mat. Above all, though, wrestling has given me a love of life. Through this sport, I have experienced pain, sacrifice, adversity, and success. Exposure to these feelings-which are, in my opinion, the essence of being-has

    There are many possible reasons on why my high school football team was unsuccessful this year. Some of those reasons may; graduated seniors, underclassmen not seeing playing time, injuries, the coach being too much of a friend and more. It’s important for our school to have success in sports. We aren’t the most successful in academics. Most students go straight to the work force instead of college. If we don’t perform well in athletics, then we pretty much get no recognition, which in small town is really important. West Central (Winchester/Bluffs co-op) was founded in 2004. We have always had a successful basketball team, but our football program has had struggles. Particularly this year, the football team had the worst season since the co-op.

  • The Role of a Coach: Much More Than Just Sports

    1360 Words  | 3 Pages

    What is coaching? Coaching can be interpreted as something so small such as someone that teaches people ranging in all ages a particular sport. But what people do not know is that coaching is more than just a position; it is a partnership. “Coaching is a one-to-one procedure and a connection between an individual and a coach with specific objectives and goals focused on developing potential, improving interactions, and increasing performance” (Blanchard, 2013). Coaches are usually an expert in their sport and are willing to push potential achievers to where they want to be or what they are willing to become. Being a coach doesn’t just begin like a typical day at work. The coach has to develop a professional relationship with their team or individual participant. In the process of developing that relationship, the coach has to take steps such as identifying the short term or long term objectives of the individual or team being guided. The focus is then on the skills needed to develop and achieve those objectives. In professional coaching, the single participant begins by initiating conversation while the coach listens and observes. Gradually, as the coach begins to comprehend the individual’s goals, there will be observations made and appropriate questioning of the goals. Eventually, after the observation and small talk, the coach’s task is to guide the individual towards making more effective decisions and eventually achieving the objectives. Continuing the development process, the coach looks at the individual’s initial placement to then determine which direction the individual will eventually go. Coaching is a very intricate and complicated process. It is a progression that requires effort from a wide variety of specialist in su...
