Description

Coaching in today’s diverse society is far more complicated than coaching was fifty years ago. Successful coaches must take into account many factors including their own biases to mold a diverse group of athletes into a team. Coaches can expect their athletes to come from diverse experiences and backgrounds. To be successful as coaches, they must take into consideration age, gender, size, culture, family makeup, and many other issues. Coaches as teachers will need to use deeper learning and understanding of today’s student population to mold successful athletes.
