According to Thompson et al, coaching is a new trend in professional field that has increasingly gaining popularity in recent times. All coaching approaches have a common denominator despite the fact that lots of various definitions, ways to understand and categorizing practices in coaching may have. Depending on the coach’s beliefs and methods and also on the client’s objections, the nature and expression of the changes will be varied and may be defined in two ways: perceptual or cognitive and concrete behavioural changes (Dagley, 2010).
The purpose of coaching is about one's self that is why the theory suggests that the process is humanistic and the outcomes are transformational (Brockbank and McGill, 2006). There are various trainings and ways on how coaches deal with his coachees. With this excercises, one can be aware that there would be moments that would occur where they could experienced range of emotions e.g. excitement, anxiety, sadness. Example is when a competent leader realizes that his team has thought him highly because of his achievements, yet the tem leader never give appreciation of his own achievements. A certain coach may challenge that leader to consider what it may mean to him in the future, this approach may be referred as wind chime moment. According to the definition of De Haan et al (2010, p 610), these are called ‘critical moments.’ The critical moments experienced have all been associated with heightened emotion of differing types, such as relief, sadness or an amazing sensation of increased confidence. According to De Haan et al (2010), experiencing these moments and engaging in a reflective dialogue with a coach, one can arrive to new perspectives on issues and will develop a new sense of self unders...

Coaching is an integral part of helping achieve one’s maximum abilities. Dr. Gawande (2013) explains that, “Coaches are not teachers, but they teach. They’re not your boss—in professional tennis, golf, and skating, the athlete hires and fires the coach—but they can be bossy” (p. 3). It is difficult to say what is the exact function of a coach, however, they help bring forth another point of view different from our own and they also help bring about the right mindset in order to subdue a weakness.
AC 2.4 Recognise any potential barriers to coaching in the workplace and explain suitable strategies to overcome these barriers. There are many potential barriers in the workplace that will stop coaching dead in its tracks if allowed to do so. These must be recognised and overcome where possible with a more “let’s not look for obstacles not to coach” and a more “let’s find a solution to do it” frame of mind! If you are working for a company where the leadership method is that of telling individuals how things are done and where “red tape” is key you will find that the company conflicts with the principles of coaching conflict.
A big question in today’s society is “Will a coaching philosophy improve performance or provoke a lifelong commitment to sport, or develop character, etc.?” I believe that all can be affected by a coach’s philosophy and the way that coach does things. The reason I say that is because there are so many different coaches out in the world that make the game easier, but also crappy for players.
As I have asserted, coaching is far more than winning or losing. A coach is an essential cog in shaping qualities such as sportsmanship, competitiveness, self discipline, and work ethic. A quality coach can build a player up while a bad coach can tear them down. My goal as a coach was to always leave the player striving to be the best they could be. A good coach
Coaching is not an easy task and figuring out the best way to lead and guide employees can be overwhelming and challenging. Alex is now in a position where she has to be a motivator, leader, and a coach to several employees. She needs to understand the concept of coaching and the behaviors that go along with her coaching style. The concept of coaching helps develop and grow employees to achieve performance improvement, but it also helps the managers see how the employees embrace their job tasks and asses their results in comparison to the overall mission of the company (Bawany, 2015). Therefore, Alex needs to look back at her previous managers and determine what qualities and behaviors they possessed in order to improve her performance. Also, she must look at what personality traits James has and look at his previous managers to see which manager coached James to perform the best while working for the company.
Executive Coaching: One of the greatest fulfillment of a leader is to build other leaders and LTL implements this principle through several different means. We have completed Executive Coaching one on one based on the unique needs of the leader. We have provided them with materials that is written by us through teleseminars, in person meetings, and written communication via email. We have also conducted workshops to Executive Leaders at the Mckormick Center for Childcare Leadership at National Louise University “Connections Leadership Conference.” The participants was provided with information that would aid them in being a more effective leader and building a better connection
“A coach is someone who is equipped to aid individuals or groups and organisations to maximise their performance in pursuit of their desired goals.” (Dexter et al, (2011) p.4)
A proper coaching philosophy contains principles which improve character development, teach step by step tactical and technical skills, form proper progressive physical training regimens, and carefully utilize team management to handle and control problems with administrative issues. A coach with a sound philosophy should mold a team with strong cohesion, and he should treat players not only as teammates, but as family and friends who are encouraged to develop communication and lifelong learning of skills through positive support and role modeling from the coach (Mergelsberg, 14-15). The philosophy should also contain written documents of implemented strategies and techniques, so that the coach will know what to improve upon season by season

Coaching via Coaches help all sorts of people move forward in life as they specialize in meeting the needs of a wide variety of people with their own unique challenges and opportunities. Coaching makes a lasting impact on people’s lives because the coaching relationship developed between the Coach and the Client leads to constant growth and change in the Client. Coaching relationships brings to light what the person being coached already knows, but may not know they know, and then helping the person to make decisions and take action so they can move forward to accomplish a dream or goal they want to achieve. The continuing evolvement of leadership requires coaching.
Coaching, however challenging, is a great way to influence the lives of others while also building their character. For as long as there have been sports, there have been people teaching the sport to the players and making them better at it. Coaches must have certain qualities in order to obtain success. One must also look at a coach’s motivation for his job, his passion for what he does, his methods for coaching, and how he became a coach in order to fully understand him. There are many questions someone may want to ask a coach about his profession if they are interested in coaching.
One of many goals to being a successful coach is to guide, inspire and also empower their players to realise and develop his or her potential as an athlete.

In today’s society being a coach can be extremely complicated especially compared to earlier years. Coaching requires not only many technical and personal skills but also has to include positive psychology that will affect all athletes regardless of gender, age, and race. After reading various articles this leads me to the question, what is a coach? How do coaches differ from one another? In addition are we forgetting the importance of not only coaching but the sports psychology aspect of coaching overall? Regardless of what you may have read or heard I believe not only do all coaches have their own coaching style but every coaching technique and style is different. Coaching styles and positive psychology are two techniques that can provide
