Written by Sports is widely agreed upon as being an essential component of a student’s exercise program. However, many students display fear and avoid any physical activity in particular sports. From this point, coaches may draw upon positive psychology to indicate positive principles and instructions, helping players understand what is good and beneficial, and root for having a positive outlook regarding sports at an early age.
The aim of sports is the development of oneself, taking care of physical health as well as the formation of character and teamwork. There are claims that when people are interested or happy or feel love their physical might and intellect are increased. For those who, for example, have low self-esteem or whose personality is more inclined towards introverted ness, the principles of positive psychology can help coaches to encourage these players, in turn helping them to gradually build their way up and develop an interest in sports and the happiness derived by physical activity. Adherence to good exercise habits goes a long way in enhancing students’ academic performance without Doubt.
In the context of teaching and learning sports, the coaches should encourage and motivate the students in the correct manner that will spark interest in the students to do physical activities. More particularly, incorporating positive psychological theory in teaching PE classes can foster collectivism in group work. Games and classroom activities that are made fun can make the students develop a positive attitude and approach in group activities, as well as ‘enjoy the fun of games and the achievements of PE classes’. Coaches must learn their students and their behaviors to address them and learn in a new way that will ensure that they are actively involved. The extent of exercising can be adjusted based on the various groups of students, and thus they are able to get a feel of the exercise and excel at this aspect leading to higher levels of learning.
Regarding the psychological and physical development of students, coaches also play significant roles. They are direct soldiers in the process of implementing and organizing sports and hence are in a central position to determine the success rate of the program. However, many coaches have stated to have poorer psychological health and high stress levels. Hence, the state as well as educational departments must ensure that frontline coaches receive more psychological training and education.
Sports is the keystone of education, and the positive psychological state of coaches is positively influencing their teaching and students’ exercise. This way we can improve the coaches’ teaching quality and positive attitude towards their job and consequently improve sports, encourage people to maintain their healthy lifestyle, and extend from school sports to family sports, societal sports, and nationwide.
