Case Studies in Coaching Ethics
Author: Anthony Parish
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000917533
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
Coaches are placed in a myriad of ethical decision-making situations. Making decisions such as playing time, boosters, parents, social media, power differentials, scholarships, and relationships are just a few examples of what a coach may need to navigate. While many day-to-day situations are easily resolved, some are not. Therefore, how and by what process should a coach make these decisions? This book presents a variety of cases based on true stories that present some of the ethical decisions coaches must make across high school, collegiate, and professional sports. Using a sequential system of less to more complicated, 40 case studies are presented across the sports spectrum that coaches have experienced. This is a key component of the book. Although names and situations have been changed, these cases have happened and provide real applicability to coaches. In addition, each case may contain multiple situations perhaps with no "right" answer that test a coach’s value system and ability to prioritize actions. Questions are provided at the end of each case that allow for reflection. The primary audience for this book includes current coaches as well as students in coach education programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

The Last Kids on Earth meets Space Jam in this hilarious illustrated novel about football, aliens, and friendship! Welcome to the Quantum Interstellar Sports League, where humans and aliens play football for the fate of the Earth! Wyatt Benson is NOT a football player. Yes, his dad may be the greatest quarterback of all time, but don't go getting any ideas. Wyatt's the kind of twelve-year-old who invents his own junk food and whose greatest physical achievement was accidentally knocking out his third-grade teacher with a badly thrown dodgeball. (Don’t ask.) So how did he find himself as the quarterback on a football team of pro-athlete tweens playing in an intergalactic tournament against terrifying aliens? Well, it's a long story that involves contractual mishaps and the alien overlord Schnozly Grofsplot, but no matter what he tries, he can't back out. Wyatt and the rest of his teammates—like the cocky soccer star Nitro, bighearted rugby player Quake, and super cool gymnast Nova (who Wyatt is totally NOT crushing on)—will have to work together to win the tournament. Because did he mention that if Earth loses, the fate of the world is at stake?! Told in a mixture of text and black-and-white illustrations, this is a laugh-out-loud series for any kid that loves science fiction, football, and friendship.

In an intense, emotional mystery that spans a decade in the life of a small town, bestselling author Brian Freeman brings us an unforgettable heroine who discovers that the dead may sometimes be easier to rescue than the living. Deputy Shelby Lake was abandoned as a baby, saved by a stranger who found her in the freezing cold. Now, years later, a young boy is missing—and Shelby is the one who must rescue a child. The only evidence of what happened to ten-year-old Jeremiah Sloan is a bicycle left behind on a lonely road. After a desperate search fails to locate him, the close bonds of Shelby’s hometown begin to fray under the weight of accusations and suspicion. Everyone around her is keeping secrets. Her adoptive father, her best friend, her best friend’s young daughter—they all have something to hide. Even Shelby is concealing a mistake that could jeopardize her career and her future.
