sports , compare and contrast
1. here at phillip exterior , we operate very different , rotating administration model, for 5 year all internl , its way for teacher to become adminstrations, very outdated , being athletic is full time profession , it not like take classroom teacher , he did 9 year as atletic director , back in the classroom full time classroom teacher and coach , firs 30 year I am not coaching football , real tough,
this fall my main duty , teaching health ,9, 10, 11, also coaching jv basketball’
2. they were lot of tough decision , the toughest decision , relieving a coach from their duties , firing a coach , I had to fire 3-4 times in 9 years . reason for firing , was lack…… impericable character , modern game , win n losses wasn’t my way to judge coach. Another piece continue player development , build team , role model, not screaming at kids .. in any situation I had to let someone go , either their character show they lack , or mistreating kids and officals , they werent following rules, I had coach , who was outside , didn’t care about rules about phillip exterior , would have practice without permission , have them late practice , coach main focus was the sport , it was veteran coach , which made it harder to relieve , I always gave them opportunity , I didn’t want let anyone go I wanted to them get better ,
3.yes this decision had ethical implication , yes they were part of community some had been here longer than me , i had to wrestle with that , they will still teach here but wouldn’t be able to coach , you have wrestle with that , is that bad , there no horrible person, also knowing they will still be in community , but instead had to say no because this is our values, basically made them retire, so public they woudnt be ashamed , if they did not leave on their own I would fire them, def ethical implications .
4.I had to document complaints, player , parent, specatulor , I had to document , date itt , also bring that concern to the coach , remember this our mission, just reminder this is the expectatins. I also had to observe , more practice and more games , sometimes go games where I wasn’t seen . I also had to gather info , and inform my superior , hopefully things will get better , as things did not improve , had to PIP , performance improvement plam , these are the concerns in writing , here are expections , you have exhbit this , be rate officals , players , these were incidents where we seen n heard , this behavior is unacceptable , I would let them wen you give player critctisms , 3 postive for every negative , your not staying low , you gotta get low , great job moving your feet , while this specific barelt gave any positive , this was all in writing , coach and I sat down , in writing , sign it , we set up weekly meeting , coach improved , next year it was going good then started going bad , we went over pip again, if this does not improve I have to let you know go. We had to have meeting with all 3 of me , coach and my superior , we told him he had retire , my superior told coach to think about 24 hour , coach decided he didn’t want retire , my superior and I should been on same page , he continue to coach n things got bad, I told coach either you go own or your done after last game , they decied to they would go , it took 2 full years ,
5 . well it interesting , wen someone retires , so publicall people did not know , any feed back public , nobody really knew , internal is fractured , there angry at me , we really don’t have much of relationship , we never really relationship prior , my two superior are no longer here , they gave me positive feed back , we werent happy outcome , it was right outcome , better outcome if coach changed his behavior , I would like this person to coach as long he wants to have sucesss and see difference between new n old. When you let someone go is my last prior ,
6 yes I would have started the process sooner , they were some thing I saw and heard , I think we could have probably started the process sooner , improving , the fact they had long standing 10 year here well respected , I gave them the benefit of the doubt longer than should have .
