Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the difference in coaches perception of sport specialization at different levels of high school athletics. The Youth Sport Specialization Scale, developed by DiSanti, et al (2015) was distributed to Varsity and JV coaches at Class AA and Class C high schools in New York State. The instrument includes 3 subscales regarding coaches perception on different aspects of single-sport specialization. After distributing the questionnaire and accumulating data; each subscale of the instrument was analyzed by an independents groups t-test. For this study, higher means rules more favorable towards specialization. Class AA produced a higher mean score in each of the three subscales (performance, experience and climate). There were two subscales that a significant difference was found between class AA and class C coaches(P

This book was released on 2000 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sport Specialization is an issue that many high school coaches, athletic directors and athletes are facing today. Due to the high level of competition in high school sports, the question of whether an athlete should devote all of his or her time to one sport, or participate in multiple sports is one of major consideration. With the high demand and desire for a collegiate athletic scholarship, athletes must decide to what extent they are going to participate in a single sport. It has been perceived in past research that if an athlete wants to obtain a scholarship, specialization is necessary. The purpose of this study was to examine the collegiate coaches' perceptions toward high school sport specialization. Eighty Coaches of Women's Basketball, Volleyball and Soccer from the Big Sky Conference, Pacific Athletic Conference (PAC-10), and West Coast Conference, were sent a survey consisting often questions pertaining to sport specialization. 75 useable surveys were returned to the researcher. The survey demonstrated collegiate coaches do not believe that athletes who specialize have a better chance of receiving an athletic scholarship, despite exhibiting greater refined skills, than their multiple sport counterparts. In addition, the survey showed that collegiate coaches do not believe that athletes who participate in multiple sports decrease their chances of receiving an athletic scholarship due to lack of exposure in one sport. Of Great significance, however, is that there is a great inconsistency among coaches in different sports. Basketball coaches generally rejected the idea of specialization, whereas volleyball and soccer coaches tended to support specialization"--Document.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study was to examine junior college male sport coaches' beliefs toward specialization at the high school level as it relates to the awardment of scholarships. Ninety three surveys were sent in May 2002 to male sport coaches in baseball, soccer, basketball, tennis, golf, and cross country from the North West Athletic Association of Community Colleges (NWAACC). The coaches surveyed reported that the majority of their scholarship athletes played multiple sports in high school. The majority of coaches also reported no preference in their recruiting profile as it related to specialization. The results showed that coaches of different sports attend different events. The majority of all coaches reported attending high school events when recruiting. Cross country, baseball and basketball coaches reported disagreement to the belief that a specialized athlete has a better chance of receiving an athletic scholarship. Team sport coaches polled felt that a multiple sport athlete is not limiting his exposure as it relates to earning a scholarship. The coaches also reported that a high school multiple sport athlete has an advantage in dealing with the high demand of a college program. The coaches were asked to rank seven common athletic qualities and it was found that different coaches prize different attributes when looking for talent"--Document.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative research study explored public and non-public high school athletic directors' perception regarding the impact of sport specialization on high school student-athletes. This study was conducted with 30 high schools across the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association's District III region. Results were gathered by using an online survey, interviews, and a review of athletic department coaching handbooks, mission statements, and any school board policies relating to sport specialization, sharing of student-athletes, sharing of facilities, and multiple-sport participation. Thirty athletic directors completed the survey and seven were then interviewed. The results from this study indicated that the majority of athletic directors perceived the disadvantages of sport specialization exceeded the advantages for high school student-athletes. While most athletic directors agreed that there is some necessity to specialize to increase skill ability, most also agreed that specializing in one sport provides a greater negative impact than positive impact on high school student-athletes. Athletic directors perceived several factors as critical components in a student-athlete's decision to specialize: opportunities for student-athletes to participate in sports outside of their school district (travel and club teams); pressure from coaches and parents/guardians; the fear of not making a team; and student-athletes' and parents/guardians' belief that specialization helps to obtain a college scholarship. An overwhelming number of participants agreed that playing multiple sports is an important aspect of the high school student-athlete experience; that central administration supports multiple sport athletes; and that they do not encourage student-athletes to specialize during childhood/adolescence.
Book Synopsis Coaches' Perceptions of Girls' Sport in Title I High Schools by : Katie Shelgren Boggs
Download or read book Coaches' Perceptions of Girls' Sport in Title I High Schools written by Katie Shelgren Boggs and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This purpose of this study was to understand coaches’ perceptions of the importance of girls’ sport participation in high schools, as well as the realities these coaches faced at Title I high schools. There is little existing research covering how coaches view and prepared female athletes in low-income communities and what their goals are for these athletes moving forward in both the short- and long-term sense. This study used Pierre Bourdieu’s ideas of capital as the theoretical framework, and studied how coaches of female high school sports in low-income community affected the accumulation of social, economical, and cultural capital for these athletes. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with 10 different coaches at Title I high schools in two East Tennessee counties. A constructivist approach was used in order for the coaches to dictate what information was important and necessary for study. Data analysis was done by open coding the transcriptions of the interviews and using an inductive approach to finding themes and patterns. The findings showed how coaches are concerned with forming their athletes into more confident and capable people holistically, not just on the field or court. These coaches are often restricted in facilities, fundraising, and outside athletic opportunities because of the low-income nature of their school, but they did not use this as an excuse not to win or be fully committed to growing their program. The conclusions drawn from this research can be used to show the need for continued support of the growth of female high school sport programs and the funding necessary to allow coaches to mold successful athletes and people.
Book Synopsis The Impact of Sport, Urbanicity, Gender, and Demographics on High School Coaches' Perceptions of No Pass, No Play in Educational Service Center, Region 20, Texas by : Jennifer Johnson Kennedy
Download or read book The Impact of Sport, Urbanicity, Gender, and Demographics on High School Coaches' Perceptions of No Pass, No Play in Educational Service Center, Region 20, Texas written by Jennifer Johnson Kennedy and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major purpose of this study was to determine how no pass, no play has impacted the perceptions of academic player eligibility as perceived by high school coaches in Educational Service Center, Region 20, Texas. Variables such as coach characteristics, school characteristics, and community characteristics were researched. In addition, the study examined the influence gender and ethnicity of the coach had on their perceptions of no pass, no play. The study focused on the perceptions of coaches to no pass, no play relating to (1) student motivation, (2) instructional issues, (3) ethnicity specific variables, (4) student suspension variables. The relationship between poverty status in the district, annual household income, the type of sport, and demographic variables such as the gender, experience level, and ethnicity of the coach were also examined. Respondents' answers were dependent upon a number of variables. The gender of the coach was a variable that reappeared as significant throughout the study. The ethnicity of the coach and minority population in the school also showed to be significant variables. Lastly, the type of sport, poverty status in the district, percentage of economically disadvantaged students on the campus, the annual dropout rate, and annual household income were also variables that significantly impacted the study. Findings of the study included: 1. Female coaches were four times more likely than male coaches to believe that no pass, no play was an effective motivational tool. 2. Female coaches were 87% more likely to feel that allowing students to practice while they are ineligible to participate motivated students to stay in school. 3. As the annual household income in the district increased, so did the likelihood that the coach perceived students to feel threatened by no pass, no play, resulting in increased study time by the students. 4. The type of sport did not have an impact on coaches' perceptions that in order to influence student eligibility, parents and student-athletes challenge failing grades assigned by teachers. 5. As the number of ineligible students increased, the likelihood of an athlete making better grades following suspension decreased.

Download or read book Changing the Game written by John O'Sullivan and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern day youth sports environment has taken the enjoyment out of athletics for our children. Currently, 70% of kids drop out of organized sports by the age of 13, which has given rise to a generation of overweight, unhealthy young adults. There is a solution. John O’Sullivan shares the secrets of the coaches and parents who have not only raised elite athletes, but have done so by creating an environment that promotes positive core values and teaches life lessons instead of focusing on wins and losses, scholarships, and professional aspirations. Changing the Game gives adults a new paradigm and a game plan for raising happy, high performing children, and provides a national call to action to return youth sports to our kids.
Book Synopsis A Comparative Analysis of Three Levels (high School, College, Professional) of Coaches' Perceptions of Their Athletes' Self-efficacy and Confidence by : Nathan Henry Kafka
Download or read book A Comparative Analysis of Three Levels (high School, College, Professional) of Coaches' Perceptions of Their Athletes' Self-efficacy and Confidence written by Nathan Henry Kafka and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The longstanding question within sports and baseball is what separates the good athletes from the great ones. The purpose of this study was to look at the role self-efficacy and self-confidence play in the success of athletes. This study was solely based on the coaches' perspective of their athletes. Three coaches who coach at different levels (high school, college, professional) were interviewed for this study. All of these coaches have a proven track record for success and have had the opportunity to work with thousands of players. These coaches, along with what research suggests, give us an interesting perspective on what separates good from great high school, college, and professional baseball players. Although self-efficacy and self-confidence are important, there are other factors that contribute to the success of athletes at each level respectively.
Book Synopsis Supporting the Professional Development Needs of High School Athletic Coaches by : Julia Pelikhova
Download or read book Supporting the Professional Development Needs of High School Athletic Coaches written by Julia Pelikhova and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly eight million high school students participate in sports in the United States annually. High school athletic coaches have a unique position to impact students athletically and personally. While coaches play a critical role in the lives of student-athletes, there is no mandated professional development or certification required by most states and school districts (Collins, Barber, Moore, & Laws, 2011; Winchester, Culver, & Camiré, 2012a, 2012b). The problem is that there is a major disconnect from the coaches on school campuses and the available resources. There is little in place to encourage, reinforce, or connect coaches to resources and professional development opportunities. The purpose of this study was to explore and support the professional development needs of high school athletic coaches in Large Unified School District in Southern California. This action research project sought to gather coaches' perceptions on what they reported to need to succeed in their roles. The objective was to utilize the experiential knowledge of veteran coaches and the professional needs of novice coaches to find a general consensus as to what coaches perceive are the essential knowledge, skills, and resources needed to successfully coach high school sports. The findings from this study have confirmed the necessity for supporting all coaches in their daily jobs in order to improve retention rates and success of athletic coaches. The responsibilities of coaches have been exponentially increasing while the compensation and support has been gradually been cut. Coaches are feeling this pressure and desire for help, a veteran coach shared, "Since they are now cracking down and enforcing policies, they also have to spend the same amount of energy to teach it". Key findings included the need for coaches to have teaching skills, knowledge of academic preparation of student-athletes for college, knowledge of rules, protocols, and procedures. Coaches asked that there be an online resource guide that includes links to useful resources and references. The action research process successfully gathered perceptions from a variety of coaches which helped produce a resource guide that will be provided and presented at the annual coaches meeting.

Book Synopsis The Association Between Parental Beliefs about Sport Specialization and Athlete Sport Specialization Classification by : Henry J. Mercier
Download or read book The Association Between Parental Beliefs about Sport Specialization and Athlete Sport Specialization Classification written by Henry J. Mercier and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Context: Previous research has demonstrated a high prevalence of extrinsic pressures among single sport athletes. The influence of parental beliefs on a high school student athlete's decision to participate in a single sport rather than multiple sports has yet to be determined. Objective: To estimate a student athlete's level of sport specialization from parental sport specialization beliefs and to investigate independent relationships of potential factors influencing the decision to pursue a single sport. Design: Cross-sectional survey. Setting: High school athletics. Participants: Fifty-seven high school student athletes (25 females, 32 males; mean age 15.6 +/- 1.6 years) selected onto freshmen, junior varsity, or varsity teams of soccer, volleyball, or basketball and their parents (34 females, 23 males; mean age 46.9 +/- 5.2 years) of two large (mean enrollment 1,805 students) public suburban schools. Intervention: Modified versions of two surveys previously used in sport specialization research were distributed to student athletes and parents at the beginning of each sport's season. Results: Regression analyses demonstrated that student athlete sports specialization was not associated with parents' beliefs about specialization (level of agreement in sustaining an overuse injury: chi2 = 0.68, df = 2, p = 0.71 and whether early sports specialization is a problem: chi2 = 5.51, df = 2, p = 0.06. When a parent responded that early sport specialization was "a problem", the odds of a student athlete being classified as highly specialized was 3.22 times higher than if a parent responded that early sport specialization was "not a problem". Further, when a parent responded that they "agreed" with participating in one organized sport year-round increases their child's likelihood of sustaining an overuse injury, the odds of a student athlete being classified as highly specialized was 1.51 higher than if the parent responded they had "no opinion" on the matter. However, neither of these odds ratios were statistically significant. Significant non-parametric correlations were found between sport specialization and the following parent perceived influential factors in an athlete's decision to pursue a single sport: need to stay competitive with other children (rs = 0.636, p = 0.01), better chance to receive a scholarship/contract (rs = 0.501, p = 0.01). Conclusion: The analysis of the data did not support the hypothesis that parental beliefs were associated with student athlete sport specialization. As an athlete's specialization level increases, parents perceived that staying competitive with other children and a better chance to receive a scholarship/contract as more influential in an athlete's decision to pursue a single sport.

Book Synopsis Leadership Perceptions and Behaviors of Urban High School Teachers and Sport Coaches by : Christel Rocha-Beverly
Download or read book Leadership Perceptions and Behaviors of Urban High School Teachers and Sport Coaches written by Christel Rocha-Beverly and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the sport and exercise psychology literature, one topic that has been given increased attention is the leadership of athletes. Prior work has focused on the coach as a primary source of leadership for athletes and how that leadership can affect various student-athlete outcomes (Coleman, 1961; Gould, Chung Smith, & White, 2006; Smoll & Smith, 1989, 2006). These investigations have provided a wealth of information regarding coaches' influence over athletes in a number of different domains, such as motivation (Eccles,1996; Jowett, 2008; MacLean, 2012; Mageau & Vallerand, 2003), persistence (Calvo et al., 2010; Ryan & Deci, 2000), and performance (Gearity & Murray, 2011; Gillet, Vallerand, Amoura, & Baldes, 2010). Lacking the same depth of examination is the relationship between coaches and other educational leaders in an athlete's life that would provide much needed insight into their performance in an academic setting.More specifically, there is almost no research examining the relationships between coaches and teachers as they "co-lead" student-athletes. Given that teachers have been identified as one of the prime drivers of student achievement (Darling-Hammond, 1997) and coaches have been identified as one of the critical influences on student behavior (Smith, Smoll & Cummings, 2009) the lack of empirical evidence for the leadership dyad of teacher-coach on student-athlete outcomes is unfortunate. Seizing the opportunity to advance our understanding of the relationship dynamics and ecology of leaders in the inner-city high schools (Khalifa, 2012) will provide a more nuanced and comprehensive picture of the environment being established for Minority student-athletes.If educators (teachers and coaches) are similarly connected by the common goal of producing a successful student-athlete, a careful examination of their relationships is clearly in order. In other words, if we can begin to understand what the leaders think about each other-which is undoubtedly related to the way they treat each other-then we start to gain further insight into the relational ecology within which the minority student-athlete flourishes or flounders (Khalifa, Dunbar, & Douglas, 2013). Therefore, the overarching goal of my dissertation work is to address this gap in the literature by investigating the mutual perceptions of and behaviors between teachers and coaches as a precursor to understanding minority student-athlete outcomes in inner-city environments.
Book Synopsis The Association of Sport Specialization with Daytime Sleepiness and Perspectives of Coaches Regarding Youth Sports Safety by : Eric Griffin Post
Download or read book The Association of Sport Specialization with Daytime Sleepiness and Perspectives of Coaches Regarding Youth Sports Safety written by Eric Griffin Post and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing numbers of children are choosing to specialize in a single sport, which is associated with increased risk of injury. Along with the trend towards increased specialization, high school athletes are increasingly being encouraged to join club sport teams outside of school in order to train year-round in their chosen sport. Despite the known injury risks related to early specialization, potential consequences of specialization related to other aspects of well-being are unknown. Additionally, knowledge and attitudes of youth sport coaches towards specialization and differences in emergency preparedness between club and high school sport coaches have not been examined. The primary purposes were to 1) examine the association of sport specialization with daytime sleepiness, 2) evaluate the knowledge of youth sport coaches towards current volume recommendations, 3) examine attitudes and beliefs of youth sport coaches towards sport specialization, 4) determine if differences in emergency preparedness exist between coaches of high school teams and coaches of high-school aged club teams, and 5) to compare emergency training characteristics between coaches of high school and club coaches. Study 1: 647 youth club sport athletes (63.5% female; 14.0±1.5 years) were recruited to complete a self-administered and anonymous questionnaire that consisted of demographics, sport specialization status, and daytime sleepiness. Highly specialized athletes had significantly higher PDSS scores compared to low specialization athletes. Study 2: A total of 253 youth sport coaches (207 males) completed an anonymous questionnaire regarding knowledge of sport volume recommendations and attitudes and beliefs regarding sport specialization. Most coaches were unaware of recommendations regarding the maximum number of months per year, hours per week in one sport, or number of simultaneous leagues for an athlete to participate in to reduce injury. Study 3: A total of 769 coaches (female N=266, 34.6%) completed an anonymous questionnaire regarding their emergency preparedness and training. High school coaches were more likely than club coaches to be required to have CPR, AED, and first aid training. High school coaches were also more likely than club coaches to be aware of emergency action plans during practices and competitions and to have an AED available at their practice venue.
