football coaching, work experience
Work Experience Assignment For this assignment on work experience I will be discussing Professional Football Coaching, its roles and how to go about fulfilling this job in realistic circumstances. Football coaches develop the knowledge, techniques and motivation of football teams and players. They train players at all levels, from beginners to top professionals. Roles of a Professional Football Coach * Plan and deliver training sessions and programmes A professional football coach must be able to effectively plan microcycles, mesocycles and macrocycles of the highest quality designed to improve top players in a realistic environment. * Provide feedback and give advice on players' performance, fitness, technical skills and team working A professional football coach must be able to observe and analyse players in everything they do both on and off the field. He/she must have a wide knowledge of the game and what he needs to see from the players and how to correct it if it is not correct. * Demonstrate and/or train with players Not only does a professional football coach need to have the knowledge of how to play football, but he must have experience and ability to play him/herself. This is because players at a top level tend to respect a coach with playing experience so it affects the psychological side of a player. He/she also needs the ability to effectively

Discuss the issue that a sport elite performer of your choice has inherited the characteristics needed to excel in his/her sport with a nurturing environment to support him/her?
Synoptic Question Discuss the issue that a sport elite performer of your choice has inherited the characteristics needed to excel in his/her sport with a nurturing environment to support him/her? To become an elite performer you need a combination of nature and nurture. Nature is the abilities you are born with, these are physical, bio-mechanical and mental and controlled by your genes i.e. muscle structure. To a certain extent you can change these attributes. We develop these through training and performing. Nurture is how you develop these natural aspects. We can develop them in a number of ways parental nurture, facilities, schools and coaching. Roger Black is good example of a lot of natural ability and very little nurturing required for him to become an elite athlete. Under his first coach he was told just to run. But when he changed coaches his new coach tried to make the race more technical and change his running style. Black then started to run slower times. But there are cases where countries have developed sports people who do not have all these natural abilities i.e. China and their gymnasts. Rather than picking them ones that take the sport up and are good at it China pick up very young children and train them very hard until they become elite athletes. The combination is different for everyone. The person I am going to look at is David Beckham who
English sport.
Sport England Sport England is responsible for providing the strategic lead for sport in England to deliver Government's sporting objectives. The organisation develops the framework for the country's sporting infrastructure and distributes Lottery funding to where it will deliver most value for sport. Sport England provides many different schemes to help promote Sport and P.E across England and its schools. One of the main schemes presented is `Active Schools' Active Schools demonstrates Sport England's commitment to encouraging every child to stay physically active for life. It highlights the importance of physical activity as an essential part of a healthy, active lifestyle. It emphasises that, for some, early involvement in physical activity is the first step towards national or international sporting success. Active Schools provides schools and teachers with the support, training and resources they need to give children the best possible physical education and sports provision. Its range of integrated products and services has been developed and consolidated through extensive consultation with Sport England's partners in the government, education, sport and health sectors. As Sport England is investing even more resources in supporting schools, practising teachers will continue to be involved in this consultation process. The result is a practical
"Sport is precious it shouldn't be abused by commercial interests". To what extent is this true in sport today?
"Sport is precious it shouldn't be abused by commercial interests". To what extent is this true in sport today? Over the last few decades sport has moved from solely amateur to a professional era. I will be writing an essay that will weigh up the arguments on both sides and come to a judgement as to what extent sport has been abused by commercial interests. I will also talk about how commercialisation has given to sport as well as increased participation, and the various steps taken to bring sport from the amateur era to the professional era. The word amateur comes from the Old French word for 'lover of' and this is clearly the main reason why people play amateur sport. Because they love the game that they play, as oppose to it being their job to play the game. Whereas, a professional sportsman is someone who gets paid to play sports, and often contracted to some sort of club or team. Professional sport has become more and more common, and one of the main reasons for this is because of commercialisation. Commercialisation of sport is the involvement of the media, and sponsors who seek a financial reward through sport. Commercialisation of the Olympic Games first really came about in the run up to the 1984 games in Los Angeles. For marketers, the Olympic Games are really a great target to promote products at. It is watched all over the world, so effectively being one of the
Advanced Coaching Theory
Sports' coaching is a very complex and complicated process. It is a process that requires input from a wide variety of specialist sub disciplines within the area. The management and the uniting of these specialist areas into a strategy to improve sporting performance is the major role of the coach (Lyle, 1999). Woodman (1993) expressed this ability of the coach as a form of 'art' and suggests that the better a coaches understanding of the sciences surrounding the coaching process the more effective a coach will be in the art of coaching. Coaching is an emerging profession and the sports coach has an increasing number of responsibilities. The process is underpinned by values and ideologies proposed by such foundations as the National Coaching Foundation (NCF) (1996) who provide a framework of rules for coach behaviour. The NCF (1996) highlight creating a positive experience and minimising any risk to athletes as vital roles of the sports coach. These values are related more towards the role of participation coach's whose initial principle is the athlete's enjoyment of the sport leading to the continuation of participation. The emphasis is on the learning of skills and not competition success. There is no systematically controlled plan, unlike performance coaching, which involves detailed planning and monitoring of progress. Performance coaching attempts to control variables
Football's governing bodies.
Sean Halsey, P.E. homework, Ms Price Football's governing bodies All sports have at least one governing body. This governing body has many responsibilities, including setting rules, setting punishments, controlling draws for competitions and tournaments, etc. The governing body for football in England is the Football Association. They control football at all levels, from grass roots to the premier league. One of their jobs is to make sure that football is being played using the correct rules and regulations so that each game is fair. They do this by making all referees and officials take a course that teaches them the correct rules of the game, and tests them to make sure they know them. They handle such things as international relations, ethics and sports equity, elite player development and coaching. The FA has also done many great things that have helped the game in England. An important thing for the future of English football is that we keep producing good young footballing talent. The FA has overseen this by setting up coaching academies and national football centres of excellence. These centres of excellence are where the best young footballers are sent to learn from the best coaches and trainers in England. This helps them progress, and lets them play with and against the best players in their age group. They also make sure that they are educated well, so that if
I have decided to research the Local and National provision for Golf
Introduction to Local And National Provision I have decided to research the Local and National provision for Golf, mainly because of the following reasons: . My love for the sport and because I have played it for so many years. 2. My Idols of the elite professionals in the sport and the path I need to take to achieve my great ambition of becoming a golf professional The areas I intend to concentrate on in my assignment to do with Local and National provision are: * How to get from amateur status to an elite professional? * What are the Local provisions available for people wanting to take part in golf? * What is available for girls in the local community? * How the elite professionals are funded for * What kind of money the P.G.A will provide to both amateurs and professionals To achieve these targets I intend to use a variety of equipment e.g. the Internet, interviews with my Golf's Club secretary and golf professional (Doncaster Golf Club in Bessacarr). To carry this out I will need to construct questionnaires to send off to the people I wish to collect the information from. Grassroots Development Being employed in the golf industry is a dream of many. Today, PGA members are employed in a number of ways in addition to traditional green-grass facility employment. PGA members are employed as rules officials, tournament administrators, retail managers, general
What makes a successful coach?
What makes a successful coach? Throughout history there have been many great sporting individuals and teams, Manchester United, the England rugby team, the Williams sisters and the Australian cricket team. However what made these athletes triumphant? One obvious thing comes to mind: they are the best players in there sport. But where would these players be without the correct training and coaching? Before this question can be answered we need to be able to identify the role of coaches and the effect there role has on athletes. Behind every athlete is a dedicated coach who is there to help the athlete in many different but equally important ways. A coach's main role is to improve the performance of the athlete. The coach is the person who tells you what you are doing incorrect but more essentially how to improve it. A coach will help their team or individuals in all aspects of there game both physical and psychological. This means that a coach has a big responsibility to help with different issues inside and outside of sport. A good coach is anything from a shoulder to cry on to a driving force behind a good performance. The United Kingdom Coaching Strategy describes the role of the coach as one which "enables the athlete to achieve levels of performance to a degree that may not have been possible if left to his/her own endeavours" Coaches like athletes are all different
