Week 2 – Assignment: Analyzing a Coaching Philosophy
Instructions
Assignment Directions:For this Assignment you will research Al Carius. Coach Carius is the longtime head cross-country and track coach at North Central College.
- Examine his philosophy.
- Write about his philosophy and why it has worked for him.
- Describe your coaching philosophy.
- Detail examples of how your philosophy is enacted.
- Identify your coaching style.
- Share why you feel it has worked or will work for you.
Remember, in academic writing you want to avoid using the first person whenever possible. When writing about your philosophy you will need to use the first person; however, please don’t go overboard with it since it is already understood that it’s your philosophy. When analyzing Coach Carius’s philosophy it is understood that it is your analysis, so it is not necessary to use the first person and therefore it should not be used in this section.
Finally, do not forget the conclusion. The conclusion is one of the most important paragraphs in any Assignment. It should begin with a restatement of the topic having been discussed and include a brief summary and/or conclusion of the contents of the paper.
