Utilizing Teaching Strategies to Create Productive Coaches: Teaching Competencies for Student-Athlete Development

This mixed-methods study explores the connection between teaching and coaching, focusing on how teaching competencies can be applied to coaching to develop student-athletes. The research addresses three key questions: which pedagogical strategies can be transferred from teaching to coaching, how the dual role of teacher-coach affects relationships with students and players, and how leadership techniques are utilized in both contexts. The theoretical framework is based on the intersection of educational pedagogy and athletic coaching. Data were collected through online surveys and individual interviews. The study used an online survey in addition to in-person interviews to collect data from teacher-coaches (people who teach as well as coach an athletic sport) in a small, independent school district in South-eastern Minnesota. Surveys provided quantitative data, while interviews offered qualitative insights analyzed through thematic analysis. Key findings reveal that the teacher-coach role enhances relationships with student-athletes by fostering deeper connections and mutual respect, although it demands extensive time commitments leading to potential burnout. Effective leadership techniques, such as clear communication and fostering a positive culture, were found to mitigate some challenges of the dual role. The study highlights the direct transfer of teaching skills to coaching, creating unique relationships with student-athletes, and identifying gaps where additional training may be needed. These findings contribute to the understanding of leadership in educational and athletic settings, demonstrating that effective teaching strategies and leadership techniques can lead to improved performance and stronger relationships in both domains

The Price of Land and the Process of Expropriation

This paper applies a game theoretic model to situations in which the Dutch government expropriates land from some farmers in order to create a new public project. The model is a version of a finite period bargaining model with asymmetric information and one-sided offers. It is shown that the model can explain some casual observations as the fact that usually, but not always, the government and the farmers settle by agreement

Material Falsity in Defamation Cases: The Supreme Court\u27s Call for Contextual Analysis

In the book The Phantom Tollbooth, one of the characters, Milo, declares that he comes from a faraway land called Context. After a circuitous journey through many strange cities, bearing names that have meanings Milo struggles to understand, he finds himself back at home in his bedroom. Context, by and large, is the home base for courts in defining the boundaries between actionable and nonactionable speech. Often, after circuitous travels through precedent and logic, courts meander back to the simple notion that the meaning and legal significance of words are determined by their context

The Attorney-Client Privilege and the Work-Product Doctrine in Michigan

In Upjohn Co v. United States, the United States Supreme Court acknowledged that the attorney-client privilege - the oldest of the privileges for confidential communications known to the common law - has the crucial purpose of encourag[ing] full and frank communication between attorneys and their clients and thereby promote[s] broader public interests in the observance of law and administration of justice. Similarly, in Hickman v Taylor, the Court stressed the importance of the work-product doctrine, noting that [n]ot even the most liberal of discovery theories can justify unwarranted inquiries into the files and the mental impressions of an attorney. It is beyond question that, at a theoretical level, the attorney-client privilege and the work-product doctrine serve significant interests and that, at a practical level, attorneys constantly encounter issues involving these principles. Nevertheless, many attorneys do not acquire their familiarity with these crucial principles in any systematic way. Law school courses and casebooks often treat these principles superficially, and busy practicing lawyers tend to research specific issues only as they arise in the course of their work. As a result, many attorneys (and perhaps some judges) may not clearly understand the significance, scope, and limits of these doctrines. This publication is an attempt to solve this problem by offering a systematic and thorough examination of the attorney-client privilege and the work-product doctrine under Michigan law. Part II of this text addresses the attorney-client privilege; Part III addresses the work-product doctrine; and Part IV addresses ethics concepts of confidences and secrets. Wherever possible, Michigan authority has been cited and quoted. In some instances, federal cases are instructive in interpreting Michigan law or in filling an apparent gap in Michigan law; under those circumstances, the text freely cites and quotes from federal authority. The goal is to provide a comprehensive examination of these principles as interpreted by the Michigan courts.https://repository.law.umich.edu/books/1117/thumbnail.jp

Extensive cross-disciplinary analysis of biological and chemical control of Calanus finmarchicus reproduction during an aldehyde forming diatom bloom in mesocosms

Egg and faecal pellet production and egg hatching success of the calanoid copepod Calanus finmarchicus were monitored over a period of 14 days (14-28 April, 2008) while fed water from 4 differently treated mesocosms and ambient water. Two of the mesocosms used were inoculated with the polyunsaturated aldehyde (PUA)-producing diatom Skeletonema marinoi, while 2 received only nutrient additions with or without silica. The mesocosms developed blooms of S. marinoi, mixed diatoms or the haptophyte Phaeocystis pouchetii, respectively. Faecal pellet production of C. finmarchicus increased with increasing food availability. Egg production increased with time in all mesocosms to a maximum single female production of 232 eggs female(-1) day(-1) (average of 90 eggs female(-1) day(-1)) and followed the development of ciliates and P. pouchetii, but was not affected by the observed high (up to 15 nmol L(-1)) PUA production potential of the phytoplankton. The hatching success of the eggs produced on the mesocosm diets was high (78-96%) and was not affected by either aldehydes in the maternal diet or exposure to the dissolved aldehydes in the water

Linking Distributive and Procedural Justice to Employee Engagement Through Social Exchange: A Field Study in India

Research linking justice perceptions to employee outcomes has referred to social exchange as its central theoretical premise. We tested a conceptual model linking distributive and procedural justice to employee engagement through social exchange mediators, namely, perceived organizational support and psychological contract, among 238 managers and executives from manufacturing and service sector firms in India. Findings suggest that perceived organizational support mediated the relationship between distributive justice and employee engagement, and both perceived organizational support and psychological contract mediated the relationship between procedural justice and employee engagement. Theoretical and practical implications with respect to organizational functions are discussed
