This chapter recognizes that successful retention of essential implicit knowledge and tacit knowledge requires more indirect practices that focus on creating a positive context for knowledge transfer. These practices are described with detailed examples of how they are used specifically to enhance knowledge retention. Approaches described in this chapter include storytelling, mentoring or coaching, after-action reviews, and communities of practice. Each section includes critical success factors to consider during implementation.Less

This book chronicles the history of Women’s Artistic Gymnastics against the backdrop of the Cold War. Accepted into the Olympic program in 1952 because it was considered uniquely appropriate for women, the sport has always been defined by the performance of femininity. Eastern bloc governments harnessed the nonthreatening nature of gymnasts to advance their political ambitions through citizen diplomacy. Yet at the same time, they were accused of flouting the amateur rule. But this was not the only rule being broken. Some also cheated by score fixing and later, age falsification. The sport became notorious for its young athletes. Their youth contributed to a power imbalance with their coaches, creating the conditions for abuse. Gymnastics was once at the forefront of women’s sport. But can a sport facing these issues, designed to promote a narrow view of gender, really be feminist? In exploring these topics, this book shows how gymnastics became a part of the cultural battlefield for Cold War supremacy. But gymnastics was not only a space for challenge. It also provided moments of international collaboration: between the international gymnastics federation and the International Olympic Committee, between gymnasts, coaches, officials, fans, and even politicians. This book argues that these global interactions charged the transformation of the sport throughout the twentieth century. It offers new insights into how sport transmits and perpetuates social ideals and the role sports, and their governing bodies, play in international relations. And with this knowledge, it suggests how women’s gymnastics might once again become the empowering, feminist experience it once was.Less

This chapter presents a classification of social learning mechanisms and explains how these mechanisms can be distinguished empirically. In most published social learning studies it is very difficult to determine exactly which mechanisms are operating. This is because experiments are often not designed with this primary purpose. Nonetheless, in such cases a researcher may still wish to draw some inferences about the process underlying a particular case of social learning. The chapter discusses stimulus enhancement, local enhancement, observational conditioning, response facilitation, social facilitation, imitation, observational R-S learning, emulation, opportunity providing, inadvertent coaching, and production imitation. It also considers a pragmatic approach to characterizing mechanisms of social transmission.Less

Black college football began during the nadir of African American life after the Civil War. The first game occurred in 1892, a little less than four years before the Supreme Court ruled segregation legal in Plessy v. Ferguson. In spite of Jim Crow segregation, Black colleges produced some of the best football programs in the country. They mentored young men who became teachers, preachers, lawyers, and doctors--not to mention many other professions--and transformed Black communities. But when higher education was integrated, the programs faced existential challenges as predominately white institutions steadily set about recruiting their student athletes and hiring their coaches. Blood, Sweat, and Tears explores the legacy of Black college football, with Florida A&M’s Jake Gaither as its central character, one of the most successful coaches in its history. A paradoxical figure, Gaither led one of the most respected Black college football programs, yet many questioned his loyalties during the height of the civil rights movement.
Among the first broad-based histories of Black college athletics, Derrick E. White’s sweeping story complicates the heroic narrative of integration and grapples with the complexities and contradictions of one of the most important sources of Black pride in the twentieth century.Less

This book describes its philosophy on basketball coaching, the coaching process, and insights into areas that are important. A very important role for the coach is to assist student-athletes in making their dreams come true. The coach's job is to help them achieve it. The coach does this by preparing them for competition and by giving them the tools to be successful at a high level. This may mean teaching them fundamentals, getting them in shape, or instilling mental toughness. All coaches should be passionate about the sport they coach. There is no greater reward to a coach than to have a group of young ladies go through the process of preseason conditioning, practice, and game preparation and then, on game day, to go out and play the game as “one” and be successful doing it.Less

Chapter 7 (the counterpart to Chapter 1) examines the status of white and black female physical educators, coaches, and administrators in academic institutions as their profession matured and women’s sports underwent a revolution (following the enactment of Title IX in 1972). Covering several generations of female teachers in grades K-12 through college-level, the chapter considers their backgrounds, training and credentials, and workplace challenges. Many instructors and coaches dealt with low status, multiple responsibilities, entrenched homophobia, and new administrative structures in athletics and physical education. The chapter asks why the field’s marginalization of “different” members persisted, even as gender and racial equality improved elsewhere in American society during the second half of the twentieth century.Less

This chapter reviews studies on solution-focused life coaching. Solution-focused life coaching is an increasingly popular approach aimed at assisting individuals to make desired changes in their personal or work life or to enhance their overall level of happiness and well-being. Research is currently embryonic; however; the studies conducted so far are encouraging and suggest that this is a promising approach for mental health professionals to consider. It offers an evidence-based methodology for those practitioners already providing coaching services and also for those working within a traditional counseling model who may wish to expand their practices and offer life coaching as an additional service. Early research suggests that evidence-based life coaching may have the potential to be a useful change methodology.Less

The author is a practicing psychologist who focuses on assessing and coaching executives who occupy or are candidates for top positions in business organizations. In this book she shares insights from more than twenty years of executive evaluations and offers an empirical method of identifying executives who will be effective within organizations—and to flag those who will ultimately fail—by evaluating hidden aspects of personality and character. The book compares candidates with impressive careers and tries to determine which are likely to act with consistently high integrity and exhibit sound, timely judgment when faced with unanticipated business problems. Central to effective leadership is a psychological quality called “active coping,” which the author defines and explores by referencing case studies, historical figures, and her own scholarly work. This book speaks not only to those in hiring positions and their advisors but also more widely to leaders and anyone who wishes to learn more about their own character and the abilities of those around them. The book offers knowledge, asks questions, and challenges common perceptions, providing a practical tool for those in business and for the general reader.Less

This chapter builds on the previous two chapters in addressing individual recovery from mobbing and the utilization of organizational support systems in responding to mobbing. It outlines the systemic intervention skills that professionals and organizations need to develop to provide platforms for sustained individual and organizational recovery from mobbing. A discussion is provided of integrative individual–organizational psychotherapeutic considerations and specific organizational strategies and interventions designed to provide systemic recovery from mobbing. It is proposed that, since mobbing affects the organizations in which it occurs and to which mobbing victims may be returning, organizationally based interventions aimed at changing a mobbing-prone culture are as crucial as individually based interventions. Organizationally based interventions, including mediation, executive coaching, and other affirmative anti-mobbing strategies, are described.Less

The past decade has seen the use of coaching in personal, health, workplace, and executive settings grow from being a novel and somewhat derided methodology to a mainstream activity in business organizations and health settings worldwide. This chapter takes stock of the current state of coaching research and practice, and then highlights how coaching could make important contributions to the future of positive psychology. In taking stock of the present state of play in coaching, it begins with definitions and delineations of coaching. It then reports on the professional status of coaching and the bodies that seek to accredit and organize coaches. Research into the efficacy of coaching is briefly discussed. The chapter presents an overview of a future coaching-related research and practice agenda. It concludes by outlining some potentially fruitful lines of inquiry for future work in this emerging and exciting sub-field of psychological research.Less

The post-World War II period began the highwater mark for Black college football generally and Florida A&M specifically. Gaither returned to coaching in 1945 after brain surgery. FAMU expanded its sporting congregation through the development of a coaching clinic, which began to place alumni as head coaches at a majority Florida’s segregated high schools. The Orange Blossom Classic moved to Miami, becoming the preeminent black college classic. HBCU student enrollment grew rapidly after the war, allowing public HBCUs to displace private HBCUs as the leading athletic programs. Gaither began to emerge as a leading head football coach through the development of his Split Line-T offense and by utilizing changes to college football substitutions rules to create separate “Blood, Sweat, and Tears” units.Less

Long before John inherited, he learned the rules of London's polite society. It was symbolised by the urban visit and the conspicuous use of the coach. The discussion illustrates the development of politeness by describing John's entry into society. It shows how a group of supposedly dependent women controlled daily rites of sociability. The dynamic, urban culture that confronted John was a blend of civic humanism, natural law, and commercial inputs. London was its location, politeness its doctrine, and courtesy manuals its texts. The gentleman became its ideal type. Unlike previous generations, John made use of the London marriage market.Less

In 1978, when he was 31, Ed graduated from Fordham University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in social science, and he was accepted at the Fordham's Graduate School of Social Service. This chapter discusses the challenges Ed Rohs faced as he grew from an institutionalized boy from whom little was expected to success as a licensed social worker with an advanced degree, holding jobs with steadily increasing responsibility and prestige. It describes his 17 years as a volunteer strength and conditioning coach for a Division 1 NCAA basketball program in New York City and his travels around the country with the team, staying in fine hotels and taking his meals in restaurants, he slowly learned how to negotiate the tricky landscape of polite society. This chapter provides a bird's eye view of the enormous pressure Division 1 coaches are under, and their full-time responsibility for the student-athletes they train. The chapter also describes the dark side of Rohs biological family.Less
