The Perseverance of The Cuban Swimmer

The biggest difference between good coaches and bad coaches is how they influence and handle a their players. A good coach can push a kids out of their comfort zone to make him/her play better. Good coaches also make the players a better person in society and help them gain confidence. A good coach is a fair coach who sees all of his athletes as equals even when some athletes are superior to others. A bad coach does the opposite of what good coaches. They have a negative effect on the children they coach. Bad coaches can make practice a hostile environment pushing the kids to their mental and physical limit. Bad coaches also cut down their players confidence rather than build it

Coaches need to have certain skills and knowledge to undertake the role. In my opinion a coach needs to be patient, supportive, interested, aware of others as well as self, attentive and perceptive. Such elements underpin effective coaching and a genuine interest in the person being coached.

Coaching is another role of a leader. The definition of coaching is "one who instructs or trains" (Coaching, 2017). For example, a coach will not only provide training, but also advise and provide guidance. To put this role into perspective, imagine a Soldier on a firing range. The soldier has been trained to successfully fire that weapon, but with coaching, they will be guided to sharpen their fundamental skills, thus improving their

The relationship between an athlete and a coach is an unique and (humble??) one. It’s all about learning, growing, and overcoming failures to its successes. About looking forward to the future together in the game and beyond the life of sports. The interaction between them should be upheld and agreed upon, to be held together. They are the most influential character of the competitive environment. I believe in the value of a coach.

Cuban Swimmer is a one-act play which uses the concept of magical reality style. The drama portrays the struggles of a Cuban family in America. Margarita Suarez, the main character is competing in the Women's swim to Catalina. The rest of the family Eduardo Suarez the father of margarita, her mother Aida, Simon her brother and Abuela her grandmother have come to give her moral support. The writer seems to have written this play out of the experience because she was an immigrant at some point in her life. Milcha Sanchez has depicted themes of religion, relationships, ethnicity, identity crisis and persistence in her play.

Now this point can go either way; while a coach should be able to motivate their players, the players themselves should have an inside motivation of their own. It all goes back to communication. If a coach is not good at communicating their expectations and such with the players, sometimes the players can become uninterested. Even more drastically, there have been cases where a coach was just so bad, it even caused a player to turn away and completely lack motivation to even continue to play the sport (Bornstein 2). All of the above are mostly qualities that a coach must show on the court, but what about off court?

The Cuban Swimmer is a play written by Micha Sanchez-Scott. The play follows the journey of Margarita a 19-year-old a Cuban swimmer who is in a swimming race from Long Beach to Catalina Island. Margarita’s family is with her throughout the race following her in a small boat. Her family tries to support her and encourage her, but they seem to be stressing her instead. Margarita tries to bring honor to her Race and family by breaking through stereotypes by winning the race. The literary elements in the play The Cuban Swimmer are components that give the play a unique perspective. The Cuban Swimmer is a one-act play composed of seven scenes. These seven scenes are complete with family drama that leads to a thrilling series of events. The Cuban Swimmer by Micha Sanchez-Scott is

It is inevitable that people will eventually encounter a hurdle that will challenge them either physically or mentally. Although self-doubt is always part of the equation, the individual always has the option to overcome the obstacle or let the barrier determine their destiny. In the short story “The Red Convertible” written by Louise Erdrich and the play “The Cuban Swimmer” written by Milcha Sanchez-Scott readers get the insight of the struggle two characters face as they find themselves in a difficult time in their lives. Through the events that occur, family support, and symbols readers can find similarities and differences while at the same time finding clues that certify that these two pieces of writing are about struggle.

If a group of students were asked who the biggest influence in their life was, many would say some kind of coach. The general thought that comes to mind when discussing coaching is athletic coaches, but coaching has a much broader spectrum. The major difference between a coach and other leaders is commitment. Coaches help build plans for success for their followers and then follow their progress until the goal is completed.

A Coach is somebody who develops, improves or promotes changes in a persons ability and understanding. Coaches work with another person or a group of people and develops them as people using sport to progress them in their development. All coaches have certain responsibilities towards performers, their sport, their profession and themselves. Below I have identified what a coach may be required to fulfil.

In The Cuban Swimmer the whole play surrounds a Cuban American family on a raggedy boat following their daughter swimming from San Pedro to Catalina Island, off the coast of California. Margarita’s father coaches her to push harder, her brother cracks jokes to hide his jealousy, her mother is in

The purpose of this essay is to analyze the short story “The Swimmer” by Jon Cheever and it’s film adaptation. Overall, the film and the short story use different dialogue, different characterization, and different visual effects and imagery to provide the reader and the viewer with the allegory of Ned Merrill’s life. While both works focus on the fanciful nature of moving across an entire neighborhood using swimming pools, there are more differences between the film and short story than similarities. Firstly, I will begin by describing the usage of visual effects in the film and imagery in the short story. Secondly, I will describe the differences in dialogue. Finally, I will conclude by describing the ways in which both pieces leverage their characters.

As a coach I will have lots of responsibilities. I will be in charge of not only the football team but the operations of the football program as a whole. Being in charge of the football operations is important because I will have control over whether the

     "The Swimmer" by John Cheever describes Neddy Merril's "swim" home. Neddy is a husband and a father, he is also a drunk. The story encompasses about twenty years of his life of alcohol which ruined not only him but also his relationship with his family. One day after waking up with a hangover he drinks a little and decides to swim home. It is obvious he is a drunk because he is constantly searching for a drink on his swim home.

Overcoming the fact that one day you will not be able to play your sport is one of the hardest things all athletes must one day go through. It is a fact of the game that one day your eligibility runs out or if you are one of the lucky few who play professionally, your body’s years of health do not last forever. Coaching just to be around the sport and spread the joy that sport gave you for so many years. My coaching philosophy relies extremely heavily on this information. I have always been a person who is passionate about the things I love because I do not believe in not putting your whole heart into something. The most critical component to success in whatever sport you love lies in honoring the game that so many before you loved and excelled at. Excelling and honoring the game means having respect for everyone involved with the sport. Giving respect to your coaches is something I learned from the beginning. Being respectful and having a positive attitude learned at a young age is something completely taken for granted until you have adults who can neither adapt nor be flexible when something does not go their way. Sport is a form of education in that it teaches you similar life lessons that will be useful for far longer than the amount of time that you spend actually playing it.
