Student, Alumnus Co-Edit Book on Case Studies in Coaching
Anthony Parish, a doctoral student in kinesiology at the University of Arkansas, recently published a book intended to help future and current coaches of school sports develop successful strategies to avoid or overcome challenges.
Case Studies in Coaching, published by Holcomb Hathaway, was co-edited by Timothy Baghurst, a 2008 doctoral graduate of the University of Arkansas kinesiology now teaching at Henderson State University in Arkadelphia.
About two dozen case studies in the book describe for coaches the need to remain professional and consider the implications of their actions. Based on real-life situations, it considers ethical and practical dilemmas from sports in locations across the country, according to the publisher. Every day scenarios such as teaching style conflicts, scheduling issues, cheating, confidentiality decisions, and working with over-involved parents are included. The book also includes a resource list for further study, and an instructor's manual is available.
