thought that a coach is to stand up for what he or she believes to be true and right. Developing an athlete-centered approach to coaching, will allow coaches to make ethical and moral decisions for the well-being of their athletes, and create opportunities for success at all levels of an organization. Athlete-Centered Philosophy Developing a coach’s philosophy that puts the needs of the athlete first, provides a foundation for success for that coach and for the athlete. Diefenbach and Lauer (2009) suggested that coaches should develop a coaching philosophy that embraces goals commonly related to youth sport, which include the personal and social values associated with, and the life skills that can be learned from, participation: character,

In “The Sport Journal,” Jefery L. Frost states, “Specifically, 17 characteristics were proposed, and the coaches rated them 1 (least important ) to 5 (most important), for three distinct levels of play, Little League, high school, and college. Those coaches chose motivation as a 5. This survey of coaches was an unbiased way to find out or identify the characteristics that the survey sample believed are most useful to coaches at each level. Jeffery L. Frost Jan 7, 2009.” Many coaches agree that motivation is a main part of coaching and teaching youth how to do things.

In an article called “7 Leadership Qualities Every Coach Needs,” (2019) by Ohio University, it says, “As a coach, your job is to help the team members believe in themselves and consistently perform beyond their own expectations. To help them reach their full potential, you must motivate the players to think outside of their mental comfort zones”. Helping people get better at things is just one way an adult can help younger people. For example, Excellent coaching requires the ability to treat athletes as more than sports figures.

Throughout chapters ten and eleven of Introduction to the Philosophy of Sport, Heather L. Reid addresses the many issues that arise between the relationship between virtues and sports. In particular, Reid states, “It is characteristic of sport that we want to know not just who won but also whether they deserved to win” (Reid, 140). The emphasis on the “deserving” to win closely ties with ethics, assuming that only virtuous people “deserve” to win. What grabbed my attention even more was Reid’s next statement regarding immoral actions that occur outside of the arena of sport: “The detection and punishment of cheaters is (at least presented as) a priority, and even immoral actions that have nothing to do with sport can tarnish an athlete’s image and detract from his or her results” (Reid, 140). I agree with Reid’s proposal that an athlete’s reputation can easily be affected by actions irrelevant to his or his sport.

Coaching Philosophy Research “My coaching philosophy stresses the importance of accountability, responsibility, team unity, mental toughness, discipline, sportsmanship, self-confidence, and a desire to compete.” This is an example of a coach’s philosophy that I got from www.coach.ca.

To establish my belief system as a coach, I will first consider my own beliefs and experiences before researching related studies to guide my approach. I strongly believe in the importance of providing athletes with a positive and encouraging environment. I have experience this personally from having good coaches who I love and motivate me to want to be a better athlete as well as having a very negative coach who influences me to slowly begin hating the sport. From past experiences, I know the importance of how a coach can influence a players view of the sport and how detrimental it could be. Setting high performance standards while also maintaining a high emphasis on the athletes' overall development and well-being is another fundamental principle.

Although at the high school level many student athletes are expected to follow rules and regulations, we understand as a society that they are not yet fully responsible for their decisions. So as adults we make a lot of their decisions for them and advise them hopefully to make the right moral decisions for themselves when we are not there. At the high school level, the goal of teachers and coaches a like should be to prepare the student athlete for their future roles in society. This means not only giving them the tools to apply knowledge but also giving them a healthy balance of moral values such as honesty, integrity, acceptance, trust, and forgiveness. As leaders of school, staff members understand many parents are not teaching their kids the moral values they need at home, and to much violence and dishonesty in seen in everyday society to instill these values later in life.

All the good skills and values learned. The issues involved is winning isn’t everything, but some children develop bad hobbits depending on whom their mentor/coach is. I do believe if there is a good mentor/coach involved they will instill those good values onto the child, and they will continue that throughout life. I think the mentor/coach doesn’t need to just focus on the skills in the sport, but also make sure the young athletes has these good core values. I think the main thing you need to look at does the coach just care about winning or does he care about the child also.

(Cushion and Partington, 2016) states that one does not need to understand the philosophy of their coaching to be a coach, and so many coaches just get on with the business of doing the coaching. However, a study by (Hardman and Jones, 2013), suggests that taking the time to reflect on one’s philosophy will help to determine which moral values they wish to emphasize decisions. As a coach, one may wish to instil certain values and beliefs within their own philosophy into those they are coaching, in hope of helping them become independent in the future and identifying which values one has will make this process easier. In addition to this, every coach will come across different ethical issues which are specific to their particular sport and their particular level. Having a clear understanding of one’s own philosophy will aid with making these decisions, as it will be easier to identify which aspect of the philosophy the decision is

We do not only revere athlete's dedication; we aspire to possess the same level of devotion and to apply it in our own lives. In the late eighteen-hundreds, “American athleticism was about being stronger [and] clobbering the competition [...] British athleticism, on the other hand, was about playing games” (Alexander). Each system embodied essential values of sports and has been ingrained in our culture today. Contemporary sports exhibit a combination of both aspects as athletes strive to become the best through their joy in playing the game.
