Coaching
Experience as a Coach in Interacting With the Coachee
Based on the information that I have gained in the role of coach, I have learned that interaction with the coachee involves an understanding of the basic foundations in Appreciative coaching, which focuses on 5 main principles. These principles, which will each be discussed in detail, include:
• Construction Principle
• Positive Principle
• Simultaneous Principle
• Poetic Principle
• Anticipatory Principle
As pointed out in the Construction Principle and Positive Principle, coaching sometimes involves bringing out the positive attributes and successes of a person, rather than the negative or their failures. An example of this approach is when one of my team members was experiencing personal financial problems, considered quitting, because she felt that it was hopeless in terms of getting a raise or advancing to a higher level.
In spite of her situation, it was necessary as a coach to encourage her that she was a valuable asset to the company, and that her skills and knowledge did not go unnoticed by her peers and management.
Similar to the Construction and Positive Principle, the Poetic Principle and Anticipatory Principles, also applied to the team member’s situation.
The difference in these principles is that in the Poetic Principle of coaching, allowed for the opportunity of the individual to break away her past events, the made her current situation seem as though it was a recurring problem. This was one the ways that she solved problems in the past, which was to easily give up, and move on -¬- in this case quit the job. This is also the case in the Anticipatory Principle, as stated in the text “Why bother”. However, wi...

Rapport with coachee to ensure trust is built in coaching relationship and commitment requires coach to be clear and affirming and mark promise to keep.

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
As a coach you do fail sometimes and that's what is difficult but Michael Jordan once said, “I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeeded.” I believe that this goes for coaching as well because you are going to fail over and over again and you will soon see that those failures are actually your accomplishments. No one said life was easy but coaching can be easy and it’s a way to connect with players and others and bring out the best in people and show that people can work together and accomplish many things no matter how difficult or hard it is and it can be fun and thrilling at the same
Matosic et al. (2015) conducted a study to examine the relationship between personality antecedents and coach interpersonal styles from a self-determination theory perspective. Often, coaches play an extremely influential role in the lives of the athletes that they are responsible for. Motosic et al. stated that coaches exert a major impact on athletes’ “well-being,” “performance,” and “motivation” (p. 1). The researchers claimed that previous research had acknowledged the influential role of coaches by studying outcomes of coach interpersonal relations, however, previous studies had failed to examine any possible antecedents associated with coach interpersonal styles. Considering this, Matosic et al. attempted to address this gap in the research literature by formulating a study that examined the relationship between a personality antecedent and coach interpersonal styles. Self-Determination Theory provided an

Growing up I was extremely blessed having an incredible coach at every level of sport I participated in. From those experiences I know how much a coach can make a difference in your life. For that reason my dream job is coaching college basketball at any division. It does not matter to me what level, because kids at the D-3 level need just as much guidance and help as student athletes at the D-1 level. During my coaching career I hope to blend two leadership styles in particular together in order to make my athletes better men, but also to keep the game they love fun to play. I feel by taking the Charismatic Leadership style’s enthusiasm and loyalty and mixing it with a Transformational Leaders innovation and emphasis on change, I can be an extremely effective and power leader for my student athletes.

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
The coach has to act and support the client’s decision. Because my coaching peer was an experienced professional coach, I learned where I was hitting the mark and where I needed improvement. The experience in this assignment was enriching because it was actionable as I was actually able to demonstrate coaching and discover areas where I was strong and internalize and reflect on those areas, after personal critique, where I needed improvement. This assignment further contributed to the importance of cultural understanding pockets we have in the United States as well as my continued and personal growth as a global leader in
I wanted to start telling the story of our experience by sharing the feelings I brought into this exercise. A few years ago I underwent an experience of coaching through several sessions that left me this taste in the mouth that the coaching as a tool to develop others is not very effective. I have not taken the time to deeply analyze what went wrong but in general if I had to choose to do it again I think I would choose another methodology to foster change. Its objective in general is to assist in building behavioral skills, but in my opinion to really look for a long lasting change you need to give a deeper understanding to the lack of a certain skills, strongly reflect on the variables linked to it as could be the emotions, values and motivations that conduce you towards a behavior different that that one desired. Personally, I enjoy seeking information that allows me to jump beyond the facts, and staying on the behavioral side of the reality limits my passion for inspiration and insight.
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.
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
