Coaching
Upon entering the football lounge are in the Armstrong Stadium, the first thing I noticed was the "Do the Right Thing" Banner flying high. I then knew that the football staff here at Hampton University is not just about shaping good athletes, but successful citizens. As the strength and conditioning, special teams, and offensive line coach, Terry Beauford has an immense amount of responsibility. Coach Beauford, on average, works approximately 13-hours/ day, Monday through Thursday. Depending on whether their weekend games are home or away, he may travel for two to three days, and then go home and watch game films. However, Coach Beauford does not believe in releasing unwarranted distress on his players. Coach Beauford went on to explain how he conducts practice. He does not believe in yelling unless they do not live up to their potential. He explained, "If the players do not execute; then I yell." I have observed his interaction with the players on and off the playing field, and I can honestly say that it is his relationship with the players outside of football practice that has gained him the most respect. (That and once playing in the NFL for three years) He is always there to listen, and help where he can. However he alway
Coach Gibbon's does not believe in a "best" player at all. Coach Taylor began the interview by getting clear what his priorities are. From the outside looking in, one could say that each team instructed themselves, and are able to constructively criticize and support each other. Coach Gibbons' philosophy on coaching can be simply stated as "there is no work but team". When I asked Coach Taylor about his views on ethics and should they play a role in athletics, he smiled and then proceeded to walk over to a table, which held various awards. Overall, not only has a shared spiritual belief brought this team together, outside of football, but has also guided the Hampton Pirate Football program thus far, and will continue to lead them in the future. In closing, Coach Terry Beauford believes in positive reinforcement of his players. When speaking with teammates, the mutual feeling that the teams share for their coach brings them together on one accord. Overall, Coach Gibbons believes she has learned a great deal from working beside Coach Laster. Simply stated, Laster believes that the team does not have to like him, he said, but he wants them to get along with each other. However, at that time I did not know that he adopted this perspective from a higher authority. In closing, this critique may seem negative, however, it is what the title states; a Critique of the Coaching Philosophies, Styles, and Practices of Tiny Laster. A citation of this philosophy is, "Treat a man as his is, and he will be. Since entering to the MEAC in 1996, the softball team has a success rate of over 500; while the volleyball team has, in the past, not been as fortunate. Though in a slump right now, I am fully confident that theses teams will overcome these uncontrollable obstacles with the talent and unity they posses.
