Coaching Philosophy 

Each student will construct a written coaching philosophy that represents their values and approach to coaching. This statement should be 1-2 pages, double-spaced, and should include personal values and what those look like in relation to coaching behaviors. Before writing the philosophy, please read Chapter 1 and reflect on the content they share that can help in writing your coaching philosophy. Additionally, before writing your statement, please fill out the first page of the worksheet attached to the assignment. There are open-ended questions that students should answer before moving to their coaching philosophy.
