Abstract
A coach’s purpose and core value system are used in everyday decision making with relation to student-athletes. Understanding one’s perspective as a coach in educational athletics can help all coaches, specifically young or beginning coaches, to recognize the importance of establishing a personal coaching philosophy they can rely on in difficult moments. This article is designed to help teacher-coaches establish their own personal coaching philosophy connected to educational athletics. This step-by-step process will give coaches strategies to help identify their core belief systems and illustrate how these play a vital role in daily situational decision making.
