Community
Rowing Inc. Presents:
-----------
Coaching Fun AND Success:
Making Mindful, Motivated & Thriving
Athletes
Please join us for this
month's Coaching Education Symposium as part of efforts to improve the rowing
community, sponsored by Community Rowing Inc. We welcome two
very special guests this month, Don Siegel and David Schary from Smith College
for their co-produced lecture.
Research tells us that athletes engage in sports for all sorts of
reasons including to: have fun, improve skills, stay in shape, get exercise,
and associate with friends. We also know that participation in sports
declines fairly dramatically during the teenage years. Seemingly, we have
accepted the reasons for both engagement and disengagement as being part of the
normal developmental pattern that youth follow as they transition from
childhood through adolescence. However, we believe that losing so many youth
from sport precludes them from acquiring the many benefits continued participation
affords including, but not limited to, such things as positive identity
formation, physical and psychological health, and developing the array of
attributes necessary for performing at advanced levels. To better engage and
empower children in sports, we propose that coaches can explicitly and
deliberately create a team environment that enhances participant's intrinsic
motivation by promoting their sense of competence and control over how they
engage in, and think about, what they are doing. Specifically, this
presentation will cover notions such as "mindset" (i.e., building a growth
mindset), "self-efficacy" (i.e., building belief in one's performance
capabilities), and "intrinsic motivation" (building reinforcement from
participation itself). As well, we will attempt to show how these concepts are
intricately intertwined and can impact both the satisfaction and success that
athletes experience. Furthermore, we will provide thoughts about how
coaches can help their athletes to sustain their interest over a longer time
frame, and during periods of waning motivation, by using sport as a medium for
personal growth, rather than as a benchmark for making social comparisons.
When:
Tuesday, June 8th, 2010, 7pm in the evening
Where:
Harry Parker Boathouse
Details: Admission is open to
all. Snacks will be served.
Fee: $5
