With 43 million children playing Little League sports, there exists a powerful opportunity to use sports as a mentor rather than a sitter, giving children the work ethos that is lacking, the physicality that lies dormant, and the ability to do difficult things as a child so that the challenges of life do not overwhelm them. Coaching Young Couch Potatoes offers practical advice to inexperienced coaches and youth leaders on how to give young people what they need to reach their full potential.

Book excerpt: Coaching is a process of mentoring young people during a critically important and personal time. Important things happen when coaching is done right. Our children create fond memories, learn to love exercise, and begin a lifetime of physical activity. Can it get any better than that? Yes. Against the backdrop of children's games, effective parenting finds a powerful partner when coaching gets done right. Time spent in youth sports is one of the greatest opportunities that parents have to successfully move their children through activities of fun and effort while supporting their journey from child to responsible adult. Coaching Young Couch Potatoes is a journey through that sport centered relationship. In a perfect world everyone grows up healthy, wealthy and strong. Each child loves to play. Parents never argue and happiness follows us all. But, the world we live in is less than perfect. Children are challenged by changing family dynamics and an electronic wasteland threatens to squander their creative play. Coach Michael Clapier declares a fresh look at youth sports and why nothing we do can compensate for failure to invest in children. Our greatest work is reflected by the children we encourage, love and make hopeful. The author shows, through example and technique, how to forge a relationship between child and adult that is capable of molding children into responsible adults while generating success on multiple levels with play. Youth sports and its capacity for good is apparent when coaches and parents are more concerned with the development of the child than simply winning a child's game. The interests of today's child compete with dangerous alternatives of apathy, no exercise and poor life experience. We must re-consider what happens to our children during this time. How do parent's support children's play? What is the philosophy of their coaches? Where do children learn time-tested values of honor, work, and responsibility? Through more than twenty five years of coaching, Clapier has tested his new way of engaging children. The strategies and techniques of this new paradigm can be yours. Our children are different than we were and it is time to accept and utilize those differences. The methods that coached us, poorly coach our children. Parents must not let the time spent in little league slip away without anchoring behaviors in such a way as to empower success through measurements other than winning children's games. Little league is our greatest opportunity to train and guide their journey through adolescence. In Coaching Young Couch Potatoes you discover how to: teach personal responsibility, effectively communicate with children, overcome short attention spans, teach work ethic, improve physicality, develop the muscular core, improve players regardless of skill, design workouts that leave kids tired and wanting more, motivate team members, nurture life skills, and more. The relationship between a coach and an athlete can empower children's growth toward maturity when parents and coaches are committed to the child rather than the game.
Download or read book Young Athletes Couch Potatoes and Helicopter Parents written by Jessica Skolnikoff and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013-12-11 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Major newspapers, news programs, and magazines across the country have recently addressed the current issues of childhood obesity, the link between exercise and improved academic focus, and the importance of diet and exercise in improving the health of our children. As many schools consider cutting recess and removing physical education from their curricula, it has become increasingly important to examine the possible effects of this decision and what it might mean for children and their physical and mental well-being. In Young Athletes, Couch Potatoes, and Helicopter Parents, Jessica Skolnikoff and Robert Engvall look at the important issue of play and its changing role in today’s hyper-structured society. The authors conducted countless interviews combined with extensive research in order to gain a comprehensive theory on the current nature of play and how it has affected children’s lives. Specific topics addressed include the impact of over-involved parents upon the play of their children, how kids are chosen for sports teams and the effect of these selections on the kids, the lack of unstructured play, and the lasting impression of society’s competitive mindset on children. This book is not a criticism of parents who want to be involved in their children’s lives, but addresses the structural and cultural issues around the changing role of play and the ways in which kids’ sports are viewed in today’s society. Intended not only for childhood development studies, education, sociology, popular culture, and sports studies, this book will be of interest to parents, coaches, athletic directors, school administrators, and educators.

Download or read book Dads Kids and Fitness written by William Marsiglio and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-31 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now more than ever, American dads act as hands-on caregivers who are devoted to keeping themselves and their families healthy. Yet, men are also disproportionately likely to neglect their own health care, diets, and exercise routines—bad habits that they risk passing on to their children. In Dads, Kids, and Fitness, William Marsiglio challenges dads to become more health-conscious in how they live and raise their children. His conclusions are drawn not only from his revealing interviews with a diverse sample of dads and pediatric healthcare professionals, but also from his own unique personal experiences—as a teenage father who, thirty-one years later, became a later-life dad to a second son. Marsiglio’s research highlights the value of treating dads as central players in what he calls the social health matrix, which can serve both healthy children and those with special needs. He also outlines how schools, healthcare facilities, religious groups, and other organizations can help dads make a positive imprint on their families’ health, fitness, and well-being. Anchored in compelling life stories of joy, tragedy, and resilience, Dads, Kids, and Fitness extends and deepens public conversation about health at a pivotal historical moment. Its progressive message breathes new life into discussions about fathering, manhood, and health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coaches are placed in a myriad of ethical decision-making situations. Making decisions such as playing time, boosters, parents, social media, power differentials, scholarships, and relationships are just a few examples of what a coach may need to navigate. While many day-to-day situations are easily resolved, some are not. Therefore, how and by what process should a coach make these decisions? This book presents a variety of cases based on true stories that present some of the ethical decisions coaches must make across high school, collegiate, and professional sports. Using a sequential system of less to more complicated, 40 case studies are presented across the sports spectrum that coaches have experienced. This is a key component of the book. Although names and situations have been changed, these cases have happened and provide real applicability to coaches. In addition, each case may contain multiple situations perhaps with no "right" answer that test a coach’s value system and ability to prioritize actions. Questions are provided at the end of each case that allow for reflection. The primary audience for this book includes current coaches as well as students in coach education programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Download or read book Communication and Sport written by Michael L. Butterworth and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-07-19 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sport is a universal feature of global popular culture. It shapes our identities, affects our relationships, and defines our communities. It also influences our consumption habits, represents our cultures, and dramatizes our politics. In other words, sport is among the most prominent vehicles for communication available in daily life. Nevertheless, only recently has it begun to receive robust attention in the discipline of communication studies. The handbook of Communication and Sport attends to the recent and rapid growth of scholarship in communication and media studies that features sport as a central site of inquiry. The book attempts to capture a full range of methods, theories, and topics that have come to define the subfield of "communication and sport" or "sports communication." It does so by emphasizing four primary features. First, it foregrounds "communication" as central to the study of sport. This emphasis helps to distinguish the book from collections in related disciplines such as sociology, and also points readers beyond media as the primary or only context for understanding the relationship between communication and sport. Thus, in addition to studies of media effects, mediatization, media framing, and more, readers will also engage with studies in interpersonal, intercultural, organizational, and rhetorical communication. Second, the handbook presents an array of methods, theories, and topics in the effort to chart a comprehensive landscape of communication and sport scholarship. Thus, readers will benefit from empirical, interpretive, and critical work, and they will also see studies drawing on varied texts and sites of inquiry. Third, the handbook of Communication and Sport includes a broad range of scholars from around the world. It is therefore neither European nor North American in its primary focus. In addition, the book includes contributors from commonly under-represented regions in Asia, Africa, and South America. Fourth, the handbook aims to account for both historical trajectories and contemporary areas of interest. In this way, it covers the central topics, debates, and perspectives from the past and also suggests continued and emerging pathways for the future. Collectively, the handbook of Communication and Sport aspires to provide scholars and students in communication and media studies with the most comprehensive assessment of the field available.
