Week 8 – Instructions for Chalk & Wire Assignment: Create a Coaching Beyond the X’s and O’s Handbook (7897)
Due Sunday
Submit Assignment: Create a Coaching Beyond the X’s and O’s Handbook (7897)
To illustrate the 4 primary roles of a Leadership Educator (Model, Motivate, Mentor, Multiply), you will be asked to compile your work from this class into a coaching handbook. One way in which a coach can earn the trust of their athletes is by clarifying expectations. Creating a handbook is one way in which to do this. To be a successful leader, you must be someone that has earned the trust of those who you hope to have influence over.
For your final assignment you will create a handbook, “CBXO’s Handbook†(Coaching Beyond the X’s and O’s handbook), that will illustrate your personal strategy to create an environment of trust that shifts the culture of coaching to include a focus that goes beyond the X’s and O’s, and W/L column. Feel free to rename your handbook as you see appropriate.
The handbook should include the following items, and the entries are to be in this order:
- Create a unique cover page for your handbook. (Feel free to give it a creative name.)
- Personal Mission Statement (From Week 1—update as desired for final submission)
- Coaching Philosophy (From Week 2—update as desired for final submission)
- Intentional Plan of character/leadership development for your athletes based on the 4 roles of a Leadership Educator. Format the 4 Roles of a Character/Leadership Educator to fit into your CBXO’s handbook as follows:
