All athletes are expected to put forth their best effort always.

Coaches are not expected to give equal playing time. Playing time is based on performance. This is a competitive experience where achievement and outcome are the high priorities.
Junior Varsity and Freshman Program Goals
Junior Varsity and freshman programs are geared to augment the Varsity programs. Player development is the primary goal of these programs. Athletes should be given a chance to play and improve their skills. While equal playing time is not expected, everyone should have an opportunity to compete. Having multiple lower squad teams will help accomplish this goal. Close communication between the Varsity head coach and the JV and freshman coaches is important and expected. Coaches should be using similar principles and strategies so that the transition from the JV to Varsity is …show more content…

So, I opened the door to listening to them and their suggestions by using the cooperative-style. This style involved sharing decisions with the team (page 31). I gave them direction, provided instruction and only used discipline when only necessary plus I allowed the athletes to make decisions and assume responsibility (page 31). I accepted guidance from my staff and parents, too. The team’s culture changed for the better and became our social architecture that fueled the team psyche.

Their leadership skills and exceptional academic accomplishments, however, are usually disregarded or undervalued because sometimes they are viewed as assets to the university for their athletic abilities opposed to their academic abilities. The term “student-athlete” implies that college athletes should prioritize their education in addition to athletics. In practice, a lot of athletes are forced to put their sports commitments above their academic commitments, which could potentially defeat the whole point of the term “student-athlete.” This could occur in an environment where students are seen and treated more as athletes than students could stem from athletes being encouraged to prioritize their sport above academics. An outcome of putting too much emphasis on athletic performance and development than educational or personal development, this could deprive student athletes of the benefits of attending college and receiving a college education and contradict the original meaning of “student-athlete".

Coaches should give the athletes a special training in order to outsmart their opponents "Ball is life" the line that the athletes shout out. "Heart strong" that they should endure the struggles and pains in winning. "Play hard" that they will do anything just to win and to let people know how good they are in that field. But, wait!

The strong team unity present in the program and strict practice regimen has made me attain an utmost value in responsibility. Since practices constantly take place they have required me to conscientious of my actions and remember my requirements of the next day and if what I am doing would hurt the team. Along with responsibility, the athletic program has birthed my competitive nature and principle of doing my best. The football team at Fyffe has an extremely competitive atmosphere since abating greatness cannot come without competing with the best and doing your best. The tendency to try my hardest has also followed me in the classroom where I constantly look for someone to try to beat in grades and scores, and attempt to make the highest grades possible.

“We know that playing a sport in college teaches young people lessons that last a lifetime, such as time management, leadership skills and teamwork, along with how to handle winning and losing” (Ackerman and Scott n.p.). When coached correctly, these athletes bloom into outstanding individuals that are going to achieve great things when they are finished playing their sports. This must be very rewarding for the athletes to understand that not only are they getting the opportunity to continue to play their sport, but they are learning life skills such as time management, how to be a leader, and how to be a positive member on a team. When the athletes are out on their own and working at their own jobs, they will understand principles of hard work much more than that of their coworkers because of their experience in college. Staying on top of their schoolwork while participating in their sport will teach the individuals great

Athletic programs at many colleges and universities are back and forth with the school’s mission statement. The term student athlete means student first athlete second. It is now at a point where it can be argued that people say the athlete first athlete and school second. Regardless what the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) rules and regulations say, some recruited athletes are treated better than others and the athletes are given better benefits. Some athletes are not prepared for college level classes, with added requirements by the NCAA.

Respect, respect, respect for your coaches, for your fellow team mates and for your opponent. You lead by example, you can’t ask for respect if you don’t give it. My family has always been hard on me about giving respect, no matter who it is to. Without the right amount of respect given, not much can be done.

Players have to reach a certain grade point average to continue playing the game, this has made players motivated to keep up good grades or else there will be consequences.

If I was the coach, I could have several ways to try to win and change it up a little bit. Even though everyone normally knows where they are playing because they always play there, I would ask were they want to play and put them there for practice and see how they do and if they do good then maybe they will get to play there in a game it won 't hurt anything. Right now the varsity and Junior variety split up for practice but I think we should stay together, if we stay together the coaches have a better opportunity to see who has the ability to play varsity or who can play where, to see who is good and bad. The coaches should push us harder at practice and maybe we can win more.

Out of high school, many students receive scholarships to follow their passion of playing sports; these college athletes take on the responsibility of being a leader to their universities and their team. Student athletes should view playing sports as an addition to completing their studies, not a replacement. Many believe student athletes should solely focus on bettering their “game” in order to make it to the professional sports league. While this is important, student athletes should also be expected to go above and beyond with their actions in and out of the classroom. College athletes should be held accountable for their education as well as their behavior, by both them-selves and their coaches.
