Parents Code of Conduct at sporting events.

PARENT'S CODE OF CONDUCT

 

The Iowa Athletic Council believes parents play a vital role in the development student-athletes. We ask that this code of conduct be distributed so parents, players and coaches have an opportunity to read them.

� I will encourage good sportsmanship by being a positive role model.

� I will try my best to make athletics a positive experience for everyone involved, i.e., participants, coaches, officials, and spectators.

� I will insist my player treat other players, coaches, officials, and fans with respect.

� I will reinforce the school's drug and alcohol free policies and refrain from use alcohol and other drugs before or during contests.

� I will do my best to understand and appreciate the rules of the contest.

� I will show appreciation for an outstanding play by either team.

� I will be a "team" fan, not a "my child" fan.

� I will help my child learn that success is measured by the development os skills, not winning or losing.

� If I have a concern, I will talk to the coach at the appropriate time and place, i.e., never before, during, or immediately after a contest.

� I do my best to remember my ticket to a school athletic event provides me with the privilege of observing the contest, not berating officials, coaches, or players.

Modern World History Discussion

Please post your information on Pre - French Revolution here

2/16/10

Hello all,

 

Today is one of the days I dread being a coach.  The day after you lose in the tournament.  Everything changes on this day starting with your routine.  I was getting VERY used seeing those 20 boys after school and enjoying the adventure that they let me be apart of this season.  The problem is it really didn't hit me until after the game last night that this had occured. As a coach of many things Im sure I'll get that feeling back but this season was special for me.   Thank you Savages for the awesome season and experience.

Baseball Coaches Clinic

Over the weekend I was able to go to the Iowa High School Athletic Baseball Coaches Association Clinic.  One of the speakers I was Mike Anderson, Head Baseball coach at the University of Nebraska.  Some of the things he mentioned in the beginning of his speech really connected to me as a teacher and coach. 

How kids learn vs. How we teach

1. 10% read

2. 20% hear

3. 30% see

4. 50% see and hear

5. 80% saying(speaking)

6. 90% saying(speaking) and doing.

 

Nebraska's 5 A's of success

1. Accept

2. Adjust-mentally

3. Adapt- its natural - they don't have to think

4. Acquire

5. Acheive
