Defining Territory: calculating your college sport scholarship potentials

Nov 30th, 2009 by coacht

You may have the skill to make any court roar out of your signature moves; but is it enough to bag home your dream college sport scholarship grant? Study shows that more than half of the talents are wasted outside the court of possibilities. The reason behind is the student’s inability to recognize that his potentials are well enough. Unless you want to volunteer yourself in making that figure of wasted talents bubble, then you must know if you have what it takes to be a college sport scholar. Here are three indications that you are a college sport scholar candidate: Before gauging your over all performance, you must understand that sport coaches are looking for your initial moves. You must determine your foot speed, shooting ability, strength, stamina and agility. Even if you can shoot every ball that lands in your hands, you can’t be a college sport candidate unless you have the right attitude. That is, you must know how to coordinate with your team, how to keep your calm and how to maintain your focus. However, above all these, a competent college sport candidate should develop humility. Remember, no matter how good you may be, you have to start from the least important position. Coaches rarely recruit borderline-grader athletes because this act can affect the team greatly in long-term perspective. Hence, the easiest way to qualify is to invest on good grades early on. The grade qualification requirement varies depending on the university standard. However, average universities usually allows a year-end average of 85% given that there is no record of failing mark in the whole semester. These three vital qualifications are technical matters that concern any aspiring college sport athlete. However, these are only made useful after you realize that you have to make the first step of appearing in front of the coach. Ghost writer for D1Athletes.Houston Apartment

Having A Career In Sports

Nov 29th, 2009 by coacht

As children there are many people who dream of being professional athletes, but the reality is that the majority of people won’t make it that far. It’s not that people who have a real passion for their sport shouldn’t dream of being a professional athlete, they should just remember that it’s truly one in a million athletes who are that good, that consistently. While some of the people who dream of being a professional athlete make it, the others who don’t make it don’t need to think that they cannot have a career in sports. Even if you can’t play professionally, you can make a career out of sports and still really enjoy your job. Many people get so down in the dumps when they realize that they won’t be playing professional baseball, football, or basketball but there is still so much that can be done with their love for sports. There are plenty of outlets associated with sports that will be a good outlet for your talents and knowledge of the sport that you so love. There are opportunities to work with kids, and even work with professional athletes as a trainer on other capacities. So, if you love professional sports and you just didn’t quite have what it takes to play, don’t give up on sports altogether. Instead of giving up on the dream to have a career in sports, just recreate it a bit. Consider going to school to get your teaching degree so that you can teach and also coach children who are just developing a passion for sports. You can help children develop their talents so perhaps they can make it and enjoy the world of professional sports. Helping to develop other people into the professional athlete you always wanted to be will be almost as rewarding as getting there yourself. Coaching children for fun is also something you can do, even if you don’t decide to make a career out of sports. Coaching little league or fun leagues is a great way to stay in the game and make a difference in the life of someone who has as much passion for the sport as you do. You can help someone develop their talents so that they have a chance at realizing your dreams, from your experience you’ll be able to help shape and guide them on their journey to the big leagues. While you may be disappointed that you aren’t a professional athlete yourself, it doesn’t have to be the end of sports for you. You can take your experiences and let other people benefit from them. When you have a hand in the development of an athlete you’ll feel alive again, and when you can share your passion with other people it’s even better. Spanish Mortgages

Small Business Coach: your Partner in Success

Nov 25th, 2009 by coacht

Start a small business today and US Small Business Administration (SBA) statistics say that the odds are your business will fail before four years have passed. Thousands more limp along not making much money and dumping stress on the owner.

Why does that happen? Tom and his business are a good example.

Tom liked being a carpenter and he figured that he could make more money working for himself. So he started a carpentry business.

Tom didn’t have any problem with the carpentry part of the business. He got along well with people, so that was never a problem. Where Tom got in trouble was with all the things he didn’t know.

According to Hector Barreto, former Administrator of the SBA, that’s where lots of small business owners get in trouble. And there’s a lot to know.

Tom got a lot of it right. He had an accountant and so he got help with tax questions. And he had an attorney to ask about legal issues, but he kept discovering things he needed to know.

“I found there were dozens of things I’d never learned how to do, like write a formal proposal. And there seemed to be a lot to think about to build the business and make payroll. It’s a good thing I like sports, or I might never have found the answer for me.”

Tom was reading about Michael Jordan and came across the fact that Jordan used a personal coach to help improve his performance. Then, just a couple of days later he was watching golf on television.

“I love watching Tiger Woods,” Tom remembers. “He’s probably the best golfer ever, but that day wasn’t one of his good ones. His swing was off and he was pretty far back in the pack.

At the end of the match, an interviewer asked Tiger what he was going to do about his poor play and Tiger said he was going to get together with his coach the next day.” Tom shakes his head. “That’s when it hit me. If great athletes like Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods used a coach to improve their performance, maybe that would work for me and my business.”

Tom was in luck. A decade or so ago, no one knew what a business coach was, but now businesses of all sizes use them to help individuals improve performance.

Business coaching is not exactly the same as sports coaching. I describe it as a co-active relationship between a coach and a client. When I work with a business owner like Tom, both of us need to work at making him successful.

My clients are usually pretty good at whatever it was that convinced them to start their small business. My job is to use my experience starting and developing successful businesses, my training that led to my certification as a coach, and the developed intuition from years of coaching to help them improve results. I help them develop what I call the “persistency and consistency” that will make them successful.

Obviously, my clients want to improve their financial results. But I often help improve other things, too.

Small business owners often feel isolated. At work, they’re either the boss or they work alone. When they get home, their spouse may not want to hear about business problems. That may be why so many businesspeople who use coaches really like the experience.

In 2006, the Ivey Business Journal published a study of what businesspeople liked about coaching that they received. The researcher asked them what the benefits of coaching were. Here’s what the businesspeople said, along with some of my own comments.

- They got continuous one-on-one attention. In my own case my clients are my number one priority. I’m available to them all the time, not just during scheduled sessions.

- Dialogue with the coach helped expand their thinking. I’m not just a coach. I’m an experienced and successful small business owner. I can share my experience and the experience of my other clients.

- The coach helped them increase self-awareness, including knowledge of blind spots. This is following Hector Barreto’s advice to find out what you don’t know. I act as a mirror to show you what you are inside both personally and professionally.

- The coach was an accountability partner. When I work with a client we set goals for what the client will accomplish. Part of what I do is follow up to make sure he or she does what was promised.

- The coach was a source of “just-in-time learning.” Usually, when a client calls me between sessions it’s because they need to know something specific right away. If I can’t answer their question off the top of my head, I can almost always help them find an answer.

Those are the things the study listed, but they missed something important. A good coach is also a motivator. I encourage you to stretch and be more than you are at present. I strive to help you realize the untapped potential that we all have inside.

There’s no way for you to know in advance everything that you need to grow a successful business. But there’s no reason that should hold you back. With a good small business coach, you can be one of those few small businesses that succeed.

Empathy in Coaching

Nov 24th, 2009 by coacht

A coaching skills training course delegate was recently explaining his frustration at the lack of interest and motivation his staff were showing when being coached. He explained that the normal reaction to being coached was for his staff to cross their arms, lean back in their chairs and adopt an almost ‘bet you can’t coach me!’ attitude. No doubt these same people would leave the coaching conversation thinking ‘See. I’ve won. You can’t coach me!’ How sad.

I suggested that he adopt a less well known coaching tool called Transposing to help him work this through.

Transposing works by getting you to adopt another person’s viewpoint and ask: What am I thinking, what am I feeling and what do I want?

I asked the manager to think of one particular individual – let’s call him Doug. Transposing Doug made us realise that he was thinking “Oh God, what have I done wrong? If I’m being coached, I must be seen as underperforming!”

We also figured that Doug was feeling anxious and uncertain. His interactions with management at the company in the past had usually resulted in a ‘telling off’ in some shape or form. No wonder he was acting like a beaten dog and holding himself stiff until the next beating arrived.

The real revelation happened when we considered what it was that Doug might want. We realised that given his prevailing thoughts and feelings, he would want to get out of the meeting as soon as possible; with his dignity intact.

The real reason why Doug was so reluctant to get involved was now obvious and the manager and I were able to devise a way he could position coaching to overcome these thoughts and feelings. It happened that Doug was a massive sports fan and so his manager pointed out that Tiger Woods, David Beckham and so on were all incredible performers with very little wrong with their games, and yet these same people valued their relationship with their coach above all others. He also pointed out that sports coaches were rarely, if ever, better performers than there clients, but that this was not the point. This lead to Doug realising that coaching was not about his manager just telling him what to do, how to do it, and pointing out all his mistakes. Instead it was an opportunity for Doug to explore his working life and find ways forward in the areas he found he found difficult or frustrating. In fact at a subconscious level Doug began ‘transposing’ his boss, appreciating how difficult it must be to provide coaching to such a truculent group. This mutual empathy is a wonderful by-product of the transposing tool and I’m happy to report that Doug’s relationship with his manager is now flourishing.

By the way, another good reason for walking a mile in your coachee’s shoes is that if things don’t work out, you’ll be a mile away and you’ll have their shoes!!
