Conclusion
From the Paper "There are three basic coaching styles that determine the manner in which a coach decides how to teach skills and strategies, how practices and competition methods are organized, how athletes are disciplined, and what roles are given to the players regarding the decision making process. A review of the literature indicates that coaches have a tendency to lean toward one of these three styles: authoritarian, cooperative, or casual. Although there is not one style that is better than the others, a coach must find a balance in the styles that will allow him to be firm when needed while letting the players have fun while at the same time allowing them to have a voice in their training and competition experiences. The weaknesses of each style are discussed in the literature, but there is not one supreme recommendation over the others. Instead, the goal of attaining a balance betweens styles is stressed. By finding a balance in a coaching style, trust is placed in the players, which helps boost their self esteem and motivation. In other words, to gain the most out of the players, coach must be control of himself as well as the players. A good coach will display elements of all thee styles."

From the Paper "Successful transition through peer coaching requires that a person look inside themselves and be able to see themselves as others see them. This is the most difficult aspect of the peer coaching experience. The teacher must be able to accept that their way of doing things may need some improvement. They must be able to take criticism without letting it destroy their sense of accomplishment and worth as a teacher. They must accept that their way is not the only way and that the ideas of others are valid as well. These principals go against basic human nature and the teacher must reconcile them within herself in order to allow the transformation to occur."

Abstract This paper reviews the novel 'Bleachers' by best-selling mystery novelist John Grisham. Grisham presents the story of the impact of a high school football coach - Eddie Rake - on the small American town of Messina and, in particular, on the life of a young quarterback. This paper demonstrates the image of coaching depicted in this novel as arguably an icon of history: the gruff, hard-nosed but essentially decent "Coach" figure that can be seen in many old movies. This essay argues, however, that this iconic representation presents a number of lessons and issues of relevance to modern coaching in the 21st century.

Behavior-Based Coaching Conclusion
From the Paper "Many Organizational cultures resist change because change is often seen as a threat to the security, status, social affiliations, or economic well-being of various employees (Robbins & Barnwell, 1994). Organizations, in general, must adapt to an environment that is ever-changing and must be constantly in search of new and innovative ways in which they can conduct their business if they want to continue to success financially. This can be done through an approach that ensures that the staff that they have continued to be motivated while also looking to the future where staffing and products are concerned. Having a diverse workforce is one of the ways that an Organization can achieve its goals most easily, because the diversity brings many talents to the Organization, and these all provide money-making opportunities."
A discussion on the roles and responsibilities of a coach, making reference to current theories and practices on coaching, teaching, and training principles.

A good coach always places the best interests of a player before winning, being in a position to meet and identify the needs of a performer through roles and responsibilities.
From the Paper "A responsible coach exemplifies the behaviors described in the National Code of Ethics where good coaching guidelines stem, this coaching practice this applies to all standards and levels of coaching. In the general understanding a responsible coach as a professional is to exemplify the highest moral character, behaviour and leadership possible.

This will include promoting ethical relationships with others coaches."
Abstract The paper explains why it is essential to thoroughly train individuals looking to coach youth soccer players. The paper then identifies the terminal objectives of this course, the methods of instruction as well as the components of a successful coaching method. The paper concludes that the main goal of coaching instruction is to understand the different ways children think and effectively combine those learning styles within one lesson plan.
From the Paper "Children within the context of any sport need guidance and coaching to not only improve skills, but also make the most out of their time while playing the sport. Within the field of youth soccer, effective coaching methods are essential for the improvement of team skills and status, as well as the opening up of new methodologies for a child to learn new information. Children learn while practicing, this is sure. Yet, they use different methods of learning than seen within the context of a classroom. Coaching allows instructors to incorporate new styles of teaching techniques within each child's mind frame which may potentially lead to a heightened understanding of the learning process later in life. The soccer field provides a way of active training, where children observe, reflect, and then act. This is where more experimental learning styles can be tested by coaches and parents to see how well their child reacts to different methodologies of learning and gaining new experiences."
Abstract This paper explores the relationship between the coach and the student, focusing on what it takes to make this relationship successful. The paper specifically looks at how coaches establish and maintain relationships, set goals, and communicate with competitors. According to the writer, by looking at these aspects of the coach-learner relationship, we can arrive at a better understanding of this complex relationship and its implications for the world of sport and competition along with personal development. The writer concludes that, although the relationship is complex, teachers and learners can quite quickly accomplish meaningful relationships by staying in tune to accepted practices and the learner's own needs.
From the Paper "This not only allows the teacher and learner to establish a professional and organized relationship, but it also serves a variety of other purposes. For example, goals allow students to feel as if they are accomplishing something at a rather accelerated pace. While much coaching takes place over a long length of time and it is difficult to see the results in a timely fashion, goals allow learners to avoid the discouragement involved without seeing immediate accomplishments. In fact, one of the barriers to the setting of coals is that learners feel as if they are not accomplishing them. Overcoming this barrier, however, is relatively simple. For instance, Taekwando is a sport that involves those from a variety of age groups and backgrounds. Attaining the skills to be proficient in the sport takes a great time commitment, but because the skills are broken down into belt levels, students see their accomplishments in a timely manner and are often motivated to continue. In addition to organization and motivation, goals can be used for measurement purposes, determining, amongst other progress, if the learner has achieved the goal or needs more work. For this reason, it is important not only for the coach to set goals, but for the learner to explore and discuss his or her own goals."
