As a parent I want her to play the entire game, but as the coach I know that I cannot do that and therefore have to play the better kids as much as it upsets her. I try really hard to consider all the children and give them all equal playing time. She may not understand right now why her mommy is being “mean” but I know as she grows up she will understand what it means to be a team player. We all have tough decisions to make in life, the key is to find a balance and stick with it no matter how hard it may
A champion will fail once in awhile. A contender will fail too but always try to become a champion no matter what. i agree with donatelli, because if you have no goals in your life, you have nothing to strive for and you don’t want it bad enough. My own experiences of when I wanted to be a contender is when i wanted to dance. Ever since i was little i always wanted to be a choreographer - but i will never get there unless i try and when i do it will make me happy and make me work harder than one.
Argumentative Essay: There’s a Reason Why Your Kids Aren’t Playing – They’re Not Good Enough When it comes to kids and sports, there always seems to be a big debate going on. Today’s most asked question is about playing time. Should all of a team’s players get it, or should only the best of the best play? And clearly, when you play to win, you need your best men (or women) to get the job done. Let’s face it, some kids are just better than others.
I really like the idea of the author that there are two kinds of mind-set: fixed mind-set and growth mind-set. However, I don’t agree that it is only educators’ fault that some kids have fixed mind-set. I think that it all starts in the family, way before school. Parents think their kids are special and tell them that they can achieve everything they want. But parents often forget to mention that the key to success is hard work.
Parents who are sports aggressive really need to get their act together, as their behaviours are seen outrageous to others and their seen as ‘arses’ which is demonstrated in the photo accompanying the newsletter. Sam really pushes that Parents are teaching their children very bad qualities, ‘isn’t good sportsmanship a model of life?’ maybe it isn’t to sports aggressive parents. It’s time for all parents to remember that children learn from you. Sam illustrates that best coaches and parents encourage their kids to play fair, to have fun and to concentrate on helping the team while at the same time polishing their own skills. Once again ‘what sort of parent are you’.
Watching Kobe play basketball during the 2010 NBA playoffs made me want to try out for my high school basketball team. I decided that I was going to dedicate that summer to emulate Kobe. Just like Kobe, I was fueled to be the best. I had that same internal fire burning within me and the same drive that was going to propel me onto a varsity basketball roster. It is common knowledge that the fear of failure is what drives Kobe to his infinite pursuit of excellence.
Taking someone under your wing can be a scary experience. One of the most difficult and joyful things I’ve ever done was coach basketball. I was afraid of how to first approach the players at Los Cerros Middle School. I thought that coaching would be good volunteer work for my community. What I did not realize was that coaching these students would make me a more confident individual.
When working with children it is important to be physically, mentally and emotionally fit as you are helping the children to develop in these areas and if you cannot perform in a way that is positive for the children then you shouldn’t be working with them as it has an effect on the way they can develop. You will be challenged every day in all 3 of these areas as there is certain activities that will require you to be fit in every way possible. If you think there is one of more of these for personal reasons that you do not think you should be around the children always talk to your manager and they will help you to see if it can be resolved or not. You own person issues should never be spoken about round the children as they do hear everything that is said! No mobiles should ever be used whilst you are working or around the children.
After all, sports should be fun, so no harm done, right? “A parent’s greatest strength - their unwavering emotional support of their child and their willingness to make sacrifices for their child’s athletic advancement - is thus also their greatest weakness.” According to: http://www.momsteam.com/team-of-experts/shane-murphy-phd/youth-sports-parenting/how-to-be-a-successful-youth-sports-parent#ixzz3KUoljylN Pushing children too hard too fast into sports if they are not ready for it, or can’t handle it can create problems with their emotional development, such as depression and anxiety. They can feel stressed about not being able to play up to your expectations. This can create problems in the bond between the children and parents as well. They can feel like you don’t listen to their needs or wants.
Athletes are there to play sports not raise your children. An athlete, by definition is someone who is praised for their physical prowess, nowhere in that definition does require said athlete to fit into a "role model" role. Calling an athlete a role model is the ultimate cop out for lazy or failed parents looking to place blame for their unruly and badly brought up children. * I agree because, no matter what you do, you should act professionally. When it comes to sports teams, they should act just as professionally as anyone else.
