Yet, if their current lineup gives them different strengths, they may flex their system or make adjustments to best take advantage of the current talent. Non-basketball leaders must do the same thing – focus on your core philosophy, yet be flexible in implementation based on the circumstances and talent on your team.”( Kevin Eikenberr).

A job as an athletic director is appealing to me because I love working with people. Learning what I learned from my interview you have to have good people skills. As an athletic director you are working with people most of the day. When I asked what a typical day is for Robert Biaggi an athletic director at Cypress Creek High School in Orlando, he told me that was difficult but he’d try. This is what he told me about a typical day “Before school, I'll spend an average of twenty minutes a day either in scheduling meetings, talking with a coach to check on a game or a custodian to check on game things.
coach Coach Carter In the movie Coach Carter, the Buddhist ‘8 Fold Path’ can be applied to the characters in the movie to tell us which characters had the right and wrong knowledge, aims, speech, conduct, livelihood, effort, mindfulness and meditation. In the movie the character who had the right knowledge was Damian. Damian was Carters son, and he transferred from a ritzy, high academic school to Richwood, to play basketball on his fathers’ team. As much as that may have not been the smartest idea, Damian had the highest marks on the team, and was able to help tutor the other teammates having trouble in their studies. The character who had the wrong knowledge was Cruz.
In O, Oden James is a very popular basketball player who is looked upon by many staff and students who attend the prep school he goes to, including his coach, and father of Hugo (the adapted Iago), Duke Goulding. He chooses Mike Cassio to share his MVP award with, just as Othello chose Michael Cassio to be his leuitenant. Thus we have been given a reason as to why Iago and Hugo hate Othello and Oden so much. At the very end of the play, Othello makes a final speech before he kills himself during which he states the regret he has for what he has done. He asks the characters that remain to ‘Speak of me as I am” and remember him to be the person he truly was, not by the terrible mistakes he made.
He has high expectations from his players rather it is athletically, academically and personality. He wants to know what his players are doing all the time and wants them to be leaders on and off the field even putting them through leadership classes at the college. He believes in his coaches and his players. He micro-manages but with a meaningful purpose and that is success. He wants his whole program to be successful off and on the field and to prepare his players for life after football and he has a plan for all of
Which is why Joron prays and walks in faith everyday. To me Joron the basketball player, fashion marketer to be and Christian has incredible qualities to him.

It means to be confident in achieving your goals in spite of challenges faced. As I prepared to enter my final year in high school, I could not imagine a greater honor and a more rewarding challenge than to serve the school community as a steward in charge of sport. Through my participation in basketball as a first team player, I learnt the importance of teamwork, respect, and being rooted in Christian values. My experiences involved repeating the same technique every day, yet yielding different outcomes. This empowered me to serve my team mates and to inspire them to seek excellence in all their pursuits.
Being around other basketball players is where I feel at home. Shooting around with my team or just friends in general is something I always look forward to. The court is what I would call my community, the time spent with other players and the love we all share for this particular game is why I consider it my community. We can play for hours at a time. We have all faced our difficult moments on and off the court, but it is when we are all together working hard for that win I am most proud.
I do it because I love the sport and want to help out the community. In most of the classes the concept of being honest is always brought up, it has a major influence on my line of work. It’s a major factor because games need to be played fairly. It’s always brought and will always be a serious matter. As a student, there are many events that test your integrity in the classrooms.
