Coaching Roles The roles that you will find you undertake as a coach will be many and varied and you will find at some stage in your coaching career that you will be, but not limited to: * Advisor - Advising athletes on the training to be conducted and suitable kit and equipment. * Assessor - Assessing athletes performance in training and in competition * Counsellor - Resolving emotional problems on the basis that sharing anxieties can be both relieving and reassuring. * Demonstrator - Demonstrate to the athletes the skill you require them to perform. * Friend - Over the years of working with an athlete a personal relationship is built up where as well as providing coaching advice you also become someone, a friend, who they can discuss their problems or share their success with. It is important to keep personal information confidential because if you do not then all respect the athlete had for you as a friend and coach will be lost.

Introduction When it comes to my own personal coaching philosophy, I feel that it is best to be up front with my students and student athletes about myself, my beliefs and what I expect from them. As a coach and educator, I feel that it is absolutely necessary to establish trust and rapport with them in order to ensure that they know just what I stand for and why. With regards to my coaching and teaching philosophy, there are three theories that I strongly believe in and will incorporate into my instructional methods: Dualism, Pragmatism, and Transcendentalism. Through these theories I will stress their importance and how their application will benefit my students and student athletes not only in sports, but in life as well. Each of these
These coaches used many different types of methods (tough love) to motivate them to success. According to the LMX theory, the tools that both coaches use are imperative to effective leadership based on the theory. Coach Knight also showed evidence of the LMX theory by instilling discipline, rules, tough love, and developing relationship with players and educating player with the will to win. Coach Knight used motivational tactics such as intense drills of push-ups, sprints and rules to build respect, commitment and perseverance. Coach Knight focused on the importance of preparation to win and provided players with the tools necessary to do so through rules, discipline and leading by example.
What would you do to achieve this? Explain how you think coaching or mentoring can contribute to encouraging employees to participate in continuous improvement processes. Coaching and mentoring are centred on unlocking a person ´s potential to maximise his or her own performance.

Coaching has also branched out to include management, counselling and mentoring. But according to Cox, coaching is more focused on helping to identify the skills and capabilities that are within the person, and enabling them to use these skills to the best of their ability. (Cox E., 2010). In sports, the coach is the person, who gets involved in all the aspect of sport including the physical and psychological development of the player. They are key persons who have influence on the players and also practice leadership by doing this.
The coach could use the managing people model which will help adapt the way in which he approaches the learner this will then enable the coach to get the best out of him/her. This will also address where each member of a team stands in development needs and what would be the best strategy the coach responds with. The GROW (Goal, Reality, Options and Wrap up) model is a very common tool used by coaches this helps in getting a person to achieve a goal or complete a task and gives a chance for the coach to gain trust and support and provide a follow up to ensure the goals are met. The COACH model is a good model to use when someone has come stuck with a problem for example “my welding set is not working” it allows the coach to help and guide the person on fixing the problem instead of just doing it for them .The coach can then ask questions about what have they tried to do to fix the problem so far and see if they no any other things they can try maybe offer some suggestions at this point, if they solve the problem you pop back and check later to see if there ok and offer some feed back. Another way to find out about individuals learning styles could be to use the honey and mumford style this provides a small test to see which group an individual fits in to this could be given to team members as part of an appraisal and kept on file this would enable the coach to adapt to the way people like to

An athletes mind must be in tuned with the body in order to carry out the amazing feats that professional athletes do. Without proper mental self-control, an athlete may collapse under the pressure of aspects such as the temptation of steroids, pre game anxiety, intense training schedules, and slumps. Pro athletes use a combination of vigorous mental and physical exercises and techniques to preform at their peak ability. It is critical that an athlete train his mind for performance as he does his body. “Sports psychology can help athletes looking to improve their focus and confidence” (Smith and Kays).
