Sport can have a very powerful and positive influence on people- especially young people. Not only can it provide opportunities for enjoyment and achievement; it an also develop valuable qualities such as self-esteem, leadership and teamwork. These positive effects can only take place if sport is ran by the right people, the coaches who place the welfare of all young people first and adopt practices that support, protect and empower them.
The Concise Oxford Dictionary defines coaching as:
"to tutor, train, give hints to, prime with facts"
All these aspects apply in coaching but there are different ways in which they can be delivered. It is important that coaches are aware of the different styles which participants can relate to. Coaches should have the ability to adapt their styles to suit the needs of their participants.
Naturally people who devote their time to coaching must satisfy their own needs or they cease to it. At the same time there should be recognition of the participants' needs and a desire to meet them. Some coaches do not recognise motives and needs of their participants, and do not put their welfare above everything else, therefore also putting pressure on the participants' to succeed. Coaches may not have the same personality traits as the athletes and therefore they may be unable to get on very well and have a conflict in personality, causing the athlete to give up or reduce the amount of effort and enthusiasm they put into the sport.
