How Bully Coaches Affecting Athletes

451 Words2 Pages

Basketball is a sport widely being played in the Philippines, walking in random streets in different barangays you would see their DIY basketball board and ring. Basketball is being played because it is fun and some use it for exercise but after I researched for my topic, good effects are outnumbered by bad ones. The first article that I have chosen is written by Mike Edger in "How Bully Coaches Affect Athletes," from Sports Psychology Today. Coaches highly affects the way of thinking of a young athletes, and with the experience they're giving the children, it can be carried until they grow up. The coach experience can help the child or make him hate the sport, since they are influential people they should give kids a good experience, but …show more content…

This deflates them and creates a lack of comfort and security in sports," says Mike Edger. Self pity happens, see how the coach affects children. And how would parents detect that this kind of abuse is being done to their kids, when kids are afraid to tell on them. At this point faith in humanity is destroyed, we really can't trust anyone anymore. The second article is written by Erica Beachy in "Specialization in Youth Sport," from The Sport in Mind. The author stated that when a child excels in a certain sport, the parents or scouts would push that kid to play that sport and force his life to revolve around it considering the future that he will have when he pursue professional leagues. With this, kids are highly stressed and pressured. The effects are not only physically but there is also psychological strain. This highly impacts the child and his decision making abilities. "It can be tempting for parents to throw all of their energy into helping their child become “the best they can be.”," says Erica Beachy. Sad to say, that this kind of parents make money out of their children, or maybe their children is their outlet for their frustrations. But yes, there are a lot of people experiencing this right now, being used as puppets by their own parents because of personal

    Statsky’s Argument is Not Explored Broadly Enough In the article “Children Need to Play, Not Compete” by Jessica Statsky, the author describes how the competitiveness of organized sports that have been popular among many young American children in recent years can have damaging effects on their physical or psychological well-being and proper development.

    Having their athletes workout at a young age every once in awhile isn’t that big of a deal, but everyday, that’s overdoing it! Young athletes generally have high spirits and big dreams, but having a coach who only criticizes them and never lifts them up can easily demoralize anyone 's dreams! Magic Johnson said this quote, “All young athletes need is a little hope, and someone who believes in them.” (Johnson) I agree with that 100%, because most coaches can’t see how their coaching tactics are tearing down their athletes instead of building them up because it’s never been brought to their attention. However, there was one situation where a coach was being overly aggressive towards the players on his team, and even after being told to stop he still didn’t change his

    Coaches are just as guilty. Many times coaches are so focused on winning and running up the score that they miss out on the opportunity to actually teach the players. They don’t teach them how to to play the game, how to have respect for their opponents, or how to have good sportsmanship and compassion (Grissell). As reported on BaseballDudes.com, “Adults are being so consumed with winning some tournament or some national ranking, that decisions are made and actions are taken that are not good for the players physical and mental well-being…these are kids playing a game but too many adults treat it like they are running a MLB team.” It stands to reason that these young athletes are learning more about negative attitudes and behaviors than they are learning about how to be good sport even in the face of

  • The Negative Impact Of Competitive Sports On Children

    1262 Words  | 6 Pages

    Children experience more harmful negative impacts, rather than beneficial positive ones, such as being at a constant risk of severe injury, wanting to opt out of sports early, and being under high levels of stress and anxiety. These impacts could lead to children being injured for an extended amount of time, children being inactive and unfit later in life, children dropping out of school, and many other catastrophic circumstances that children should not have to put up with. The opposing side suggests that children who participate in competitive sports experience positive impacts, such as staying healthy and in shape, and having positive psychological benefits. In some instances, these impacts may be true, however families with a child athlete opted for fast food, ready-made meals more than those of families who did not have a child athlete. Also, while competitive sports provide some psychological benefits, it has also been proven that they can cause stress, anxiety, and ultimately, attrition for the young athlete.

  • Coaches Are Often In Positions Of Power In Sports

    374 Words  | 2 Pages

    Coaches are often in positions of power and how they use this position may also dictate their interaction with the athletes around them. Power is an essential element of the coaching process and as Jones et al. (2002) suggests it is integral to use the position of power if coaches want athletes to fulfil their respective potential. As a result, athletes are also heavily reliant on their coaches, not only in terms of supplying knowledge, but also in terms of measuring performances, organising training activities, guiding their lifestyles and ultimately constructing their identities as elite or professional athletes. Such a relationship, if used positively and in a holistic way will yield results for the both the athlete and the coach but if
