Research Articles for Effective College Football Coaching

The three peer-reviewed research publications for successful college football coaching are examined in this work. "An examination into the coaching approach of a successful world-class soccer coach: Anson Dorrance" is the title of the first essay featured in this evaluation. William Straub and Jin Wang wrote this article. In 2012, the essay appeared in the International Journal of Sports, Science, and Coaching (Wang & Straub, 2012). A case study examining coaching practice and coaching perspective at one soccer (football) club is the title of the second article that was used for this evaluation. Karagiannis Konstantinos and Pill Shane wrote the essay. The third article is titled ""The Secondary School Football Coach's Relationship With the Athletic Trainer and Perspectives on Exertional Heat Stroke." William et al. authored this article. For success in football, an extension to leadership and coaching skills is required. In the competitive field of a sport like a soccer sport, many scholars want to determine the relationship between coaching and emerging the top in performance. The following study questions sparked the research that was done in these three papers:

To find out what are the successful coaching approaches in the current world of football.

To discuss what are the current trends in football management that could help the college football teams to grow.

To determine what is useful coaching.

What are the techniques that are used in recruiting football managers who can make a football team successful?

How the football coaches can work with other sports coaches to improve the sport?

The words that are linked in these articles include; emergency care, heat injuries, coach's knowledge, Association Football, Coaching Philosophy, Values, Leadership, soccer coaching and game sense approach.

Theories Discussed

Several theories are used in these articles to determine the best ways to develop productive and successful coaching techniques in football teams that include college clubs. For instance, William et al., in the article they have discussed a theory in which emergency care can be assured by having a collaboration between the athletics coach and football coach in a secondary school (Adams, William, et al., 2014). Straub and Wang have discussed the theory on how a sports team can access success when their coach displays top leadership skills and coaching skills, in their article (Wang & Straub, 2012). Konstantinos and Shane also discuss a different theory in their report. They addressed the theory on how sports curriculum will affect the performance of a football team and the supporting talent (Konstantinos & Shane, 2017).

Effective coaching can be studied and learned by other coaches. Many reviews have been done by scholar, sports scientists and psychologist with the aim of improving the sporting industry at large. The behavior of performance can be directly linked to coaching skills. This is so for an elite coaching in the competitive football arena. The procedures and formula for a successful elite coaching is an interest of many in the coaching environment. The research that has been made include that of Bennie. It involved three Australian sports teams that included effective coaching using social skills, personal characteristic, and organizational expertise. In developing skilled athletes and coaching process, Cote and his colleagues presented a coaching model that represented a fundamental coaching component (Konstantinos & Shane, 2017). The critical elements in the model were training, organization, and competition. The model also included personal characteristics of athletes and coaches in different contexts. Moreover, coach assistants should be competent, trustworthy, hardworking and have the ability to be with other team members. An expert coach plays a vital role in team building this is through the strategies that he or she lays for the coaching process. Team building encompasses the element and activities, organization, environment, coach role and the relationship between the team and cohesion performance. The purpose of a coach in football cannot be overlooked, a dully qualified coach with excellent skills needs to be selected. The sports curriculum also plays a significant role according to the theories discussed in the articles. The theories that were discussed in the articles can help as the basis in which future research questions can be formed. For instance, finding out how sports curriculum will affect the way a football team is managed will lead to a study on how the coaching curriculum should be developed. It should be established in a way that aims at making a strong team that will achieve positive results.

Results and finding

Based on the content of the research, the categories that describe efficiently coaching are leadership, discipline and a positive team environment, teaching fundamental principles, challenging of coaching and competing with strong opponents. A great team is from elite coaching. The response and outcome of the analysis from the reviewed articles is similar to that conducted by Bloom et al., Knight et al. and Callow and Smith. The coaching category represents an essential area that contributed to the success of coach Dorrance. It also shows that the role of a coach in a football team is necessary and cannot be overlooked. It is prudent for a college to recruit a competent coach who will help them in developing a team that will record positive results.

Sample Population

The researchers of these articles selected their sample populations that ensured that the whole population was represented. The reports use organizations and people who have been involved in the football coaching and sports industry for some time and have an experience on how the outcomes of the team can be influenced by the coach's leadership and management styles. It all starts with the process of recruiting a football coach who can lead the team well. The sample population is similar to my site because it uses a sample population that is representative of all the community.

Quotes

In the Konstantinos and Shane's article. The quote that was most illuminating is "Yes I agree with the new curriculum and especially the small sided games aspect to coaching because players can hone in on their technical ability and get more touches on the ball," this is quoted from a coach during an interview for the study. In Wang and Straub's article. "Then the most important thing in coaching is not to necessarily have one quality or another but to be true to your personality because I think to be true to your personality is the capacity to be a very effective leader and a very effective and motivational coach." This was the most intriguing quote from Dorrance's interview. In the article by William et al., the most illuminating direct quote was "‘I feel prepared because I have received training in emergency care.” This was a quote from a coach who was giving his opinion.
