Week 7 - Constructing Parent-Coach Relationships, Is it That Important?

As this sports world keeps getting bigger, this week's topic takes a closer turn at this theory between players and coaches and their relationships in the sports they love.

In this week's article, which is about the importance of the coach and athletes getting along very well in the process, Tracy Donahue has written about how the sports world could become a shallow place without a need and the constructs are heavily used in this big theory, including the four discussed in this week's topic video.

Influences may have done some work in order to keep or shatter player-coach relationships. She was also talking about why research comes to a great time to examine people's behaviors to each other when they are playing sports with their motivators looking on and hopefully shaping their confidence up to be good.

For an example, an article about a player-coach relationship in the Meridian Star, calls for a fantastic structure at how positive this may look. They team up to make a difference in the league so their team can contend for a championship and get to know each other a little more. And that is the whole point of this article that an assistant coach named Matt Lum is acting as an extension to a player named Woodridge at West Lauderdale High School in the Mississippi area. This could be seen as a clear depiction of how closeness and co-orientation can lead to a great relationship on and off the atmosphere that they, both players and coaches, play and motivate in.

My supposed angle on this would need to be that this is certainly a fantastic way to talk about the constructs of relationships between the coaches and players alike. I am pretty sure that when Donahue was discussing about where this theory comes to play at the times of analyzing concepts to this idea, she was serious about the psychology part of sports. Regret messages will pressure the athlete to the point where they underwhelm and not perform as great as expected can relate to that. This can cause the relationship to go to pieces and they start losing as a result too.

When reading this article, I was very certain that coaches and players are easy to get along and see where they could go from the point where they can start bonding to seeing them scoring some achievements for their work. That brings a lot of people closer to the term that is called "Positive Coaching" which has elements of the cooperation and affiliation that makes teamwork much easier to achieve.

In any level of sport (High school/College/Pro), there have been some rumors about negative relationships that cause that team go south because of some conflict that goes on in some places that cause some teams to argue with their coach in the process. This could be a quick way to bring an abrupt end to a promising run and I can compare that to last week's topic about the end of one's career thanks to poor parenting.

And with all of that said and done, I agree with Tracy Donahue's theory discussing the importance of coach-athlete relationships in sports having so much chemistry thanks to some part in the psychology side of the world.
