Education extends beyond the
classroom and athletics is a prime example of that. I believe that athletics
plays a major role in education. Within any school system, educators want their
students to not only develop academically, but as a person as well. I believe
that athletics can help students develop morally and ethically. Learning how to
be leader, working with teammates, and making important decisions are things
that can be learned through athletics and translated into one’s future. I also
believe that athletics can help with the student’s academics as well. I want to coach because I can help students grow
as individuals and instill a
As
stated before, I believe athletics can helps students grow in a multitude of
ways. What I value about athletics is working with a group of people and
transforming their lives. I have a wealth of knowledge that I can pass down to
help players learn. What I also value about athletics is that its fun. Nothing
makes me happier than having fun and providing fun for others.
With
any coach, everyone has his or her own coaching style. My coaching style is
about creating and maintaining positive relationships with my players, staff,
and community. I believe that you should treat people with respect and this
extends beyond the players, staff, and community. This means treating officials
and parents with respect too. Parents have a vital influence over an entire
program and I am a firm believer in getting parents supports. As a coach, I
will use the community for support for the program and hold community events to
get them involved.
Only
a few select people have shaped my values, but all of them have been very
significant. My father has played the most important role in shaping my
philosophy because of knowledge of multiple sports, but more importantly he has
instilled a moral compass in me. Legendary coach John Wooden has provided me
with inspiration due to his incredible winning mentality yet doing it with
class and style. Working with different programs at different levels will have
an impact on my philosophy to a degree. As you move up to higher levels,
winning becomes more important, but my goal of developing the players as good
people will not cease.
