Chapter 3 Quiz

Sort elements

• Coaches who use a top-down, "my way or the highway," military-style approach to leadership that seeks to instill toughness, discipline, stoicism, and a rigid chain of command to produce wins.
• Intimidating coaches who regularly harness negative-harmful emotions to motivate, and who often use shouting, cursing, personal denigration and humiliation as a means to produce the results they desire.
• Coaches who seek to use players to validate their own sense of self-worth. They crave the center stage and use others as a means to their own ends of achieving a successful status or other forms of self-promotion.
• Coaches who have a pure desire to help others, but often over-empathize with players to the excessive extent that they devote so much time, energy, and effort to the "cause" that they begin to neglect other important relationships. Much of this behavior is driven by the desire to "feel needed."
• Coaches who see coaching as an opportunity to continue their sports identity or forge an sports identity in sports for the first time. They desire to fit in, climb the social ladder or simply be a part of the team, because they are looking for a place to belong.
