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."

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."

Peer coaching is a confidential process through which two or more professional colleagues work together to mutually reflect on their current educational practices. They expand, refine, and build new skills together, share ideas, help teach one another, frequently aid one another in conducting classroom research and simply help one another to solve problems of the workplace, such as problems with difficult students or parents.

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.
