Abstract
-
Being a coach is a profession that requires great leadership abilities. Knowing what qualities and strategies make a good leader and how to utilize them can help coaches in their profession, as well as in other everyday aspects of life. En route to my future career as a coach, this project will help to explore questions such as: What lessons should a prospective coach learn? What practices lead to consistent and sustainable success, not just in sports but in life? In order to answer these questions, I will examine texts on leadership as well as my own experiences. It is important to understand that there are different leadership styles that are useful in different situations, so an array of leadership abilities is important. I will analyze different styles of leadership from motivational leaders and successful coaches, while also reflecting on the current successes and shortcomings of my leadership ability, and learning how I can adapt my leadership style to different situations. The aim of this project is to become a better leader now and in the future, along with gaining a better understanding of different types of leadership. When I am done, I will have produced a report on multiple leadership books, as well as a reflection on my past experiences as a leader, where I can examine my successes and shortcomings. Those two sections will help me create the final section, where I will discuss how my new leadership abilities will help me to be a better leader and coach in the future.
