Coach Licensure Bulletin – New Pupil Activity Permit Info for Coaches and A.D.s

ACT NOW – starting Jan. 1, 2014

ALL Pupil Activity Permit (PAP) applications must be submitted, reviewed and approved online.

You need to ensure that applicants have SAFE accounts

How do our coaches set up SAFE accounts?

Remind those who will apply for educator licensure or pupil activity permits that they also will need SAFE accounts. When setting up an account, the system will ask for date of birth and the last four numbers of the person’s Social Security number. It also will ask for an Ohio driver’s license or state of Ohio identification number (available from the Bureau of Motor Vehicles). Those who do not have one of these forms of identification should allow a bit more time. They will find instructions within the SAFE account creation menu about how to submit another form of identification.

 

Once the department validates the SAFE account, the user should log in to verify that his or her email address is entered correctly. They may do this by clicking on the “change email” link.

I have paper applications to submit. Will the department accept them?

Any paper applications must be received by Dec. 31 to be processed. Thereafter, applicants and authorized reviewers must complete the process online.

Area athletic directors thankful for lessons high school sports provide

by Kyle Kauffung   

As high school sports around the area take a break over the Thanksgiving holiday, here is a look at what Fairfield football head coach Jason Krause and athletic directors from Lakota West, Lakota East and Colerain are thankful for in regard to high school athletics.

Fairfield football head coach Jason Krause:

What are you thankful for in regard to high school athletics and how they impact the athletes, students and the community?

“What I’m thankful for is obviously the opportunity to be in the position that I’m in and deal with great high school kids on a daily basis and watch them grow and see all the positive things that they do to excite your community and, this year that we had, our community seemed to kind of grow and live through our guys on Friday nights and all the hard work they’ve put in to change the atmosphere at our high school as far as athletics goes.”

Are there any examples of the athletes at your school giving back to the community?

“Our kids do a great job of it… probably the biggest one for us this year [was] over an eight week period we went every Saturday morning to the Joe Nuxhall Miracle League… we were taking 20-25 players a day in their jerseys to assist the kids and playing in the games at Joe Nuxhall Miracle field and just to see our kids interact with some of those kids… it really put a different thought in my mind of what we’re all about and the impact we truly can have on families and the community.”

 

Lakota West Athletic Director Scott Kaufman:

What are you thankful for in regard to high school athletics and how they impact the athletes and the community?

“I’ve always been very thankful for the individual skills and character development that sports provide to student athletes and the leadership qualities that take them far beyond what sports themselves have. It’s their experiences in sports that prepare them for everything that they’re going to do in the future.”

What are your thoughts when you see high school athletes take on leadership roles in the community or perform charitable work to help the less fortunate while they’re still in high school?

“I think that’s the most powerful component of what we deal with is, you know, the lessons that sport in itself teach kids with character and leadership and discipline and commitment… when you can see those carry over into non athletic venues, that’s the most rewarding thing that you can see. So when you see somebody step up in a leadership position whether it’s to run a coat drive or whether it’s to raise money for a specific charity or just to help somebody else on the street, to me that’s the biggest exclamation point you can put at the end of what we’re trying to accomplish.”

Are there any examples of the athletes at your school giving back to the community?

“There’s too many to really count… there’s been coat drives, there’s been canned food drives, there’s been cancer awareness fundraisers; I hate to underplay it but it’s become common place in what we do every day of finding ways to give back and our kids really step up to it when they can.”

 

Colerain Athletic Director Dan Bolden:

What are you thankful for in regard to high school athletics and how they impact the athletes and the community?

“I think what high school sports can do is bring a community together. You know, there’s nothing better than on a Friday night looking up into the stands and seeing the community up there cheering on the team or if it’s a basketball night and you look in the gym and the gym’s packed with fans from the community or people who just want to come see good basketball or people who want to see good football or people that want to come out and see a good softball team play on a March day when the suns out.”

What are your thoughts when you see high school athletes take on leadership roles in the community or perform charitable work for those less fortunate?

“That makes you feel good, as an athletic director, it makes you feel like the coaches you’ve hired are doing the right thing; they’re instilling a sense of pride, of community, of feeling, of leadership and of giving to those kids; and they’re watching it actually happen. I equate it sometimes to when you watch your kid take their first steps… a lot of people outside the education world don’t understand when teachers can see that kid who struggled in their grades or that coach can see a kid who as a freshman was awkward and uncoordinated and by the time they’re a junior they’ve become this aspiring athlete who leads and listens and has a heart the size of the room and when you see that happen as a coach, there’s nothing better than that, than to watch that actually happen.”

What’s it like to watch these kids develop and grow not just as athletes but also as people?

“That’s the great thing about coaching that’s outside of teaching… as a coach you’ve seen them as a freshman and you see them the next season and you see them all the time and you watch them grow and then that’s why I think people don’t understand when a season ends why kids and coaches are so emotional about it… those coaches have watched those kids grow for four years and they’ve worked together for a common goal and they’ve been through the highs and the lows together and when they get to that point when it’s all over, they’re emotional because they’ve formed a bond and an attachment that will last forever… that’s a lasting bond that never breaks.”

 

Lakota East Athletic Director Rich Bryant:

What are you thankful for in regard to high school athletics and how they impact the athletes, student, staff and the community?

“I believe that the court, the football field, the swimming pool or the cross country course are extensions of the academic classroom and the life lessons that our student athletes take from the experiences that they draw upon are invaluable.”

Six Ways to be an Effective Assistant Coach

By Ray Detwiler

A quick Internet search or trip to the local bookstore will uncover a surplus of information on how to be a head coach and run a successful program. Unfortunately, little has been written about how to be an effective assistant coach, even though the quality of assistants undoubtedly plays a critical role in the outcome of a team’s season.

The following six guidelines are by no means a comprehensive list, but will serve as a reliable starting point for new assistants. They may also serve as a refresher for more experienced assistants or as discussion points for an entire coaching staff prior to the start of the season.

1. Model effective habits 

Players may not always remember what you teach them, but they will always remember what they see you do. Head coaches are not the only ones who are held to a higher standard; all coaches are expected to be leaders on the field, in the school and in the community. If you show up late or unprepared, use inappropriate language, consume tobacco products or generally prove that you can’t manage your personal habits, then you absolutely cannot expect your athletes to manage theirs. Nobody picks up on hypocritical actions faster than young people. If you have personal habits that you need to change, begin taking steps to change them.

2. Communicate expectations

Talk early and often with your head coach and have a clear understanding of what he or she expects of you. Be sure to discuss the following questions in detail:

  • What are your specific roles and duties on the coaching staff?
  • What do you feel most comfortable contributing to the team (position-specific knowledge, administrative talents, etc.)?
  • What are your head coach’s pet peeves?
  • Do you have a long-term goal of being a head coach?

Whenever possible, be available before and after practices and games to communicate regularly with your head coach. Some head coaches are going to stick to their own program and philosophy, and often will not seek input from assistant coaches. Other head coaches will regularly want to talk about what can be done better, what’s working well, what’s not, setting the lineup, etc. Understand what type of a head coach you’re working under, accept his coaching style and do your part to support him. If you find through your discussions that you don’t agree with his philosophy, your role, and/or your level of input on the staff, you may determine that it’s not a win-win situation (Covey, 2004, p. 207). The working relationship should be positive and rewarding for everyone involved.

3. Be a champion for your head coach

Nothing derails a program’s success faster than an assistant coach who whispers behind the head coach’s back or pushes his own agenda with players, parents or other coaches. Even if the assistant does not completely agree with the head coach’s decisions or philosophy, unless those differences are moral or ethical in nature the assistant has a responsibility to stand behind and support the head coach. Not only does it establish trust with the head coach and contribute to a positive working relationship, it reaffirms the strength and continuity of leadership on the coaching staff to the athletes and parents.

A veteran head coach recently shared an unsettling story about one of her former assistants. Like most head coaches, she had a few players on her team who saw little (if any) playing time. Late in the season, one of the parents insisted on a meeting to discuss his daughter’s playing time. In the midst of this heated discussion, the parent revealed what no head coach wants to hear: that her assistant coach had been telling non-starters that they really deserved to be in the starting lineup. The parent also explained how the assistant coach held informal meetings with players to discuss unhappiness with the head coach, differences in coaching decisions, etc. Needless to say, this lack of trust caused a climate of tension from which the team never recovered.

4. Build positive relationships with your players

Habit No. 5 of Dr. Stephen R. Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People states, “Seek first to understand, then to be understood.” This habit speaks to the importance of listening with the intention of understanding. We cannot effectively influence anyone unless the person feels understood, and the same goes for our players. Teenagers, particularly, bring a mixed bag of self-consciousness, fear, anxiety and beliefs to a team. Dr. Covey (2004) states, “Unless you’re influenced by my uniqueness, I’m not going to be influenced by your advice” (p. 239). Coaches should not use the words, “Oh, I know how you feel,” or “I went through the same thing.” Even if you’ve been there, done that, and gotten the T-shirt, assume that your players are different. Positive influence, learning and a contagious climate of success cannot exist without trust.

5. Take initiative

Legendary Coach John Wooden (2005) once said, “Failure to act is often the biggest failure of all. Use good judgment based on all available information, and then use initiative” (p. 36). Assistant coaches should make sure they understand what the head coach wants to accomplish and use their initiative and resources to help get things done. It might be something as simple as setting up practice stations, making sure students get water, etc. at the beginning of practice. If you believe your head coach has forgotten something important, e.g., administrative tasks, take a moment to remind him at an appropriate time.

6. Constantly seek to improve on technical and tactical knowledge, and improve the ability to teach.

A few years ago I attended a large baseball coaches’ clinic in Virginia. As I watched a college coach talk about infield skills and drills, I’m ashamed to admit that I started to feel that I knew everything he was talking about. I had heard it all before, I thought, and, in fact, I disagreed with a few things he was saying. In the midst of these thoughts, I recognized a very well-known, accomplished high school coach sitting nearby. He was not only listening intently, he was taking notes! What a humbling experience, and one that I will never forget. Before me was a coach who had won several state and regional titles and received numerous coaching awards during his 25-year career; he had coached countless college and professional players, yet he remained dedicated to learning and improving his technical and tactical knowledge.

If you feel that you’ve reached the point in your coaching career where there are few things you have left to learn about a particular aspect of your sport, please consider the following two questions:

  • Is there a different way to teach a skill, perform a drill or approach a team-oriented task?
  • Is there a different position or area of your sport in which you could become more proficient?

As assistant coaches we must challenge ourselves to be great technicians and tacticians. We improve by attending clinics, paying attention to other coaches, reading great books and articles, and of course through on-field experience. As we continue sharpening our skills, we must consider the process through which athletes learn.

According to Rainer Martens in his book Successful Coaching (2004), athletes “will move through three stages of learning – the mental stage, the practice stage and the automatic stage” – to achieve mastery of a skill (p. 195).

During the mental stage, athletes will cognitively develop a mental plan regarding what to do and how to get their bodies to do it. As players move on to the practice stage, the focus becomes refining technique and executing correct repetitions. Remember, it’s not the quantity of practice but the quality that will achieve better results. Finally, with the skill performed more automatically, the athlete has more mental capacity to focus elsewhere – on new skills, strategy, etc. Create a positive learning environment as you guide your players through the learning process. Balance the constructive criticism with plenty of encouragement, and do your best to mix some wholesome competition into your drill/practice sessions.

Maybe you have aspirations of being a head coach one day, or perhaps you have recognized that your talents are best utilized in the various roles of an assistant. Whatever your reasons are for accepting the responsibility of serving as an assistant coach, you have the capacity to powerfully impact your team.

Ohio HS Statewide Football and Boys Basketball Scoreboa

scoreslogo-1

OIAAA & OASSA Members:

 

Earlier this school year we announced a new business partnership between the Ohio Association of Secondary School Administrators (OASSA), the Ohio Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association(OIAAA) and JJHuddle.com. The partnership provides value statewide and enhances the coverage of Ohio high school athletics by providing real-time/quarterly scores for all varsity football (and boys basketball) games.

 

The OASSA, OIAAA and JJHuddle have coordinated the collection, reporting and presentation of scores, and as a result of the parternership JJHuddle has already made the first of several scheduled significant financial contributions to both non-profit associations.

 

Moving forward we need continued support and participation in the program with the football regular season ending, playoffs starting and basketball beginning.

 

What Is Required

Each school is required to assign an individual as that school’s “QuarterSpondent.” That person (staff, parent, statistician, etc.) will be the designated score reporter and will update scores at all varsity football and/or boys basketball games after each quarter. Data entry will include only numeric scores – no commentary, posts or stats are allowed or required.

 

Please proceed to get a commitment from one person at your school to fulfill this capacity for boys basketball.  Instruct this person to register as a Quarterspondent using the link in item #2 below.

 

Please proceed to remind your Football Quarterspondent to fulfill this capacity until the season is over (either regular or post).

 

Fulfilling these obligations are very important to the success of the project.

 

QuarterSpondents must:

1. Have a smartphone with browser (internet) capability

*Note: All reporting will be done through the mobile device’s browser so there will be no texting or calling fees.

 

2. Go to the following link and fill out all required fields http://www.jjhuddle.com/sr/

*Note: QS information (Name, Email, School) will be used to contact QS for score purposes only (no posting of comments will be available) The information will never be shared or used for other purposes.

 

JJHuddle will supply both the OASSA and OIAAA with continued reports indicating what schools have a QuarterSpondent in place and which ones do not.

 

Schools/Scores Pages

The reports submitted by each school’s quarterspondent will populate both that School’s District-Specific App/Homepage and the the Main Statewide Scores Page.

 

Thank you for your prompt and continued action in this matter.

 

Your efforts directly benefit the OIAAA, the OASSA and high school sports fans across Ohio.
