It is the rare individual who has the exact same style and set of behaviors at work as at home. There are many legitimate reasons for this. When asked why they have different behaviors and actions, people typically respond that work has a completely different environment and calls for adaptations to that environment. There is a supervisor to whom they report, creating a somewhat subservient role. There are also the daily pressures, stressors, deadlines, lack of autonomy and other situations involving low power over which one has very little control. At home, one generally wouldn’t duplicate any of that. It is more of a shared responsibility with a partner and usually more control over the daily, weekly and long term goals and desired outcomes. In other words, much more choice in matters. Therefore, the style and behavior, and measurements one is accountable to, are much more in tune with the real style and personality of a person than what is demonstrated at work. I have been both a work coach and personal coach. I find the work coach role to be much easier, as one’s responsibility may be primarily to guide, teach or even direct behavior or methods. Some refer to this as external coaching. A personal coach, working with someone on their personality, values, beliefs and aspirations, is engaged in a personality or attitudinal situation, or what may be referred to as internal coaching. People can very easily adjust behavior, depending on motivational levels. It is a very difficult prospect to change one’s personality or home style. However, with the appropriate inspiration and desire, it can be done.

An adaptive coach with a combination of styles is a more optimal approach (Aguinis, 2009). In conclusion, my plan is to employ all four styles with equal ease. There should be an almost transparent evolution from one style to the next; a seam-less transition designed to meet the participants needs while accomplishing results. From past experience, that is much easier said than done but certainly a noble endeavor indeed. References Aguinis, H. (2009). Performance Management. (2nd Ed).

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.
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
If you choose to focus your coaching on a specific area - lets say 'parenting troubled teens ', then its a good idea that you 've got a background of working with troubled teens so that you can best understand your client. Now a pure life coach is committed to recognizing that a client has their own answers and that the coaches job is to empower the client such that they see this clearly for themselves. Therefore, a coach is a generalist - their training and skill is really in communicating with people such that they can identify and build appropriate goals and actions that fulfill their dreams. If you naturally have this skill, you 've got the greatest asset that a life coach needs. Some people have an innate tendency to 'be coach '. If you don 't naturally have this skill, rest assured that wish practice you can develop

The author shows how coaching differs from counseling. To start with, Collins supposes that counseling focuses on negative psychology that includes dealing with conflicts, spiritual struggles, and emotional matters like depression, while coaching focuses on improving team-building and performance, career growth and finding fulfillment (2009). According Collins, counseling fixes what is wrong, while coaching enables individuals to reach their goals. Coaching is centered on the present and future likelihood, getting unstuck and attaining the set goals, while counseling is centered on causes of the problems that are as a result of the past, and attaining healing and stability.

There are many different assessment models developed which enable the coach to assess the client from a number of varied perspectives. The majority of these models are simply used as a tool, providing a schema for noting observations. An ideal assessment model is an instrument used to obtain structure within the framework of the coaching encounter. The coach is never limited to the parameters of the model, but the model should provide a guide in the evaluation of the client. In other words, the model allows the coach to develop a frame of reference for client observation. Although, there is no single correct coaching model, the coach must rely on a broad range of coaching techniques to adequately assess the client’s condition and present circumstance. It is the multiplicity of views that offers the greatest coaching models (Watts & Corrie, 2013).
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.
In all of the years that the game of pro football has been played there have only been twenty-two coaches that have made it into the hall of fame which means that they have done a significant amount of work in the coaching industry and made a huge impact on the game (Positions). The strategies that they have used to be such a great coach must have been incredibly good. A lot of people wonder what the strategies to coach a football team and strategies that famous coaches have used to be a successful coach are. Two of the most well-known coaches are Vince Lombardi and John Madden; they were the best coaches to ever coach the game in people’s opinion because their play strategies were so incredibly good. They had the best run plays and pass plays for offense. They also had the best defensive formations for defense, the man coverage, zone coverage, four three coverage, and the three four coverage. They had the best plays for both shotgun and pistol formation plays. They even had the best special team type plays from fake field goals to onside kick returns. John Madden and Vince Lombardi are the best National Football League coaches to ever coach in the National Football League because of all of these great plays that they used to get so high in the coaching industry. There are probably a lot more well-known and great coaches, but they have not done as much or close as what these two brilliant coaches have done to entertain the world in the game of football. Not only did they have the best play types and strategies to use, they both also had a great variety of players on their teams. If Lombardi was not as good of a coach as people say, then he would not have a trophy named after him for the team that wins the annual super bowl each ye...

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
In Project two there were four styles referenced for each student. These four styles are:
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
...ree leadership styles discussed are different, each of the styles has its own advantages and disadvantages. However, there are some similarities between the styles that present an opportunity for synergism. Identifying the potentials and capitalizing on them will positively increase the team productivity. It is obvious the three leadership styles have the desire to arrive at a concrete and educative decision and influence the team with directions.
