I know of a wrestling coach that broke an athletes nose because he was wrestling with him in practice. The coach was suspended, almost fired. Wasn't he just preparing his athletes for mathces? |

It really honestly depends on the sport. If you are talking about a physical sport like wrestling, football, or hockey I would advise against it for that very reason. But for me I would practice with my athletes because I am a tennis coach in which seeing me do the things the right way can help their form. But like I said for physical sports no way. Sports like golf, tennis, and soccer I would say yes. |

I feel like coaches should be able to practice with their athletes in all sports, but they are not aloud anymore. In the past coaches were able to practice with their team as much as they liked, in order to give them as much attention as possible. But now it seems as if they need to stand on the sideline and yell to get athletes to understand what they could have just shown in five minutes. I believe that a coach should be as involved with his or her team as much as he/she is aloud in their respective school district. This is because I feel as if the athletes get the most out of a practice when the coach is in the mix with them. |

I believe that coaches should be able to practice with their athletes in certain aspects of the sport. Coaches should be able to demonstrate a skill, either solo or asking one of the athletes to volunteer. They should also be able to participate along side of their athletes in warm-ups, running drills, or other conditioning activities. In high school my field hockey coach would run with us during preseason. It built team morale and proved that if she could handle the run, we should be able to handle it. However, if the sport is super physical where an athlete could get hurt from the interaction, then the coach should use his or her best judgement. Coaches are supposed to help their athletes improve, not hinder them by causing an injury. |

I think coaches should be able to practice with their athletes. As an athlete having a coach not only tell you what do do, or show you, but to do it with you, that is something else. It helps the athlete see you mean what you're telling them. it's also nice to know they're not just sitting on the side line telling you, hey do this or that, but getting in there with you, practicing with you, I think that means a lot to the athletes, helps them to see you as a friend more so than just another teacher, or parent. |

I feel that coaches should be allowed to practice with their student/athletes. If you have a coach coaching a sport such as basketball or football, I guarantee that most of the players are bigger than the coach. Its not like an injury will happen everytime a student is going up against a coach. Injuries are flukes that happen all the time no matter who you are playing against. The person or coach can be big or small heavy or light, if you get hurt you get hurt because it's an accident. |
