Explain How The Roles And Responsibilities Of Sports Coaches Can Affect Performance M1

M1 describe how the roles and responsibilities of sports coaches can affect performance:

Roles:

A role of a coach is that they are a motivator. A motivator is someone who encourages you to do or achieve something. For example learn how to do a new skill over a time period. The roles of good coach are that the players or team will look up to the coach. They will respect the coach and think of them as a role model. If the coach is all the things a good coach should be then the team/individual will want to be like them and achieve what they have achieved. They might want to be able to do some skills that the coach can do, for example in hockey if the coach can do 3D skills the player might want to be able to do that because it looks cool and is

As the coach is a good coach they should be a friend to the player giving the, good advice and helping them when they need it, if is in the sport or a topic outside the sport. This will affect a player’s performance because if they have a coach that they don’t like then they won’t go to training with a positive attitude and this can affect the way they play. The players negative can affect the whole team’s attitude and they won’t go into the match with a good mind set.

They will look at the coach as a leader. It is similar to the role model role. The players will look up to the coach. Hopefully a good coach will lead the team to good outcomes during the season. This will affect the player’s performance because if they have a good strong coach who is a leader then they will go into their games with determination to win and play their best as they don’t want to let the coach down.

The way you conduct yourself whilst in the presence of the athletes provides an example of how they should behave, especially with young children as they will look up to the coach. What sort of example should we be providing to someone else's children? This affects a teams or individuals performance because what the coach is doing the individual may copy so it is important that the coach is on form

They should turn up on time to training sessions so they can make the most of the time the coach has with the individual or team. They should have a plan for the session and bring all the equipment. The affect this has on performance on the individual is that they can perform well because they have the equipment to play and have a good amount of time to play so they can learn new skills and develop as a player in a team.

Coaches are responsible for the health and safety of the athletes in their charge. Coaches should have access to first aid facilities and have the means by which to contact emergency services. This affects a player’s performance because if a player has fallen over and has hurt their ankle, the coach should give them an ice pack so their ankle can heal better, so they can get back to playing quicker. By having the correct first aid kit and the correct qualifications the player cannot sue if something were to go wrong. This will affect a player’s performance because the player will be in good
