The skills of a coach are: organisation: sessions, analysing, problem solving, sport specific and knowledge of the sport. Sports science: fitness, fitness and conditioning, biomechanics, sports psychology, performance analysis and nutrition
The responsibilities of a coach are to carry out health checks and maintain the safety of the environment and the performers. The Coaching responsibilities are delivering a good coaching session to help develop performance. Also the professional conduct this means uses of demonstrations and personal and professional behaviour to wards every one.
Different coaches have different coaching styles my examples are David O’Leary who will just give them the information and let the squad captain take them trough the warm up as he does on match day. Were as Alex will just write the session plans and then go and watch while the head coach takes them through it I suppose this will be mostly to do with age. Also they use different styles David uses part whole and uses democratic because at that age you don’t need to be strict because they will listen were as children need to have the command style. Alex uses lassie fair because he dose not help out he just watches. The two people I have picked are David O’Leary. David O Leary used to be a very good coach/manager this is because he was an educator, trainer, manager, friend, innovator, role model and most of all a friend to the team. Also the fans loved him which made it even better. I think these are really important when being a coach because you need to be very approachable to your whole team and treat them all the same. The other manager I have picked is sir Alex Ferguson he is very over protective with his team members so this shows that he is a manager a friend and a role model but I think he works the team to hard even though their winning every game also the thing with David Beckham shows that he is not always a friend so I would say some times he is a good coach but other times he is not because it means that he is not always approachable by the team members. . I think the skills that David and Alex have are problem solving because when I player gets injured suddenly they need to make that quick decision to put another player on and who is just as good as the player that as been injured, also they must be good at organisation as they will have to plan for all their training sessions they also must be fit themselves. They will also have to analyses the players performance to see if their fit enough for the next game.
David O’Leary
Alex
Alex does encouragement really well when training he likes them to put the energy into training as they would a match. But also as he encourages them on the training pitch and he shouts at them on the playing field which might make them feel pressured and scared. This will also discourage the players because their doing a job for him and they cant satisfies him. But he is a really good decision maker as all coaches have to be because they will need to make quick changes and need a good sub bench to pick from.
David
Encourage he encourages the team but also every manager can also discourage them when their on the playing pitch David is very calm unlike Alex but he can loose his temper with the team when they don’t listen this is when they will become discouraged when he gets mad with them. Also I think that as a coach they should train with the team also it will increase the fitness levels of the coach bit also increase friendship between players and managers. He also must be very organised to run the team and do all the paper work and the training sheets.
I think both managers can improve by asking the team more what they would like and also by keeping calm and letting the players do their job on the pitch. Also rather than shouting they should encourage they more they shout at the players the less players in the future will want to join the squad because they will find it hard to concentrate whilst be shouted at during a game. They should just think how the players feel before they start shouting.
