Total Hours for Week 4: 10
This week was a lot like last week. The one big difference was that Coach Ison wanted me to talk to the athletes to see how they were doing with their summer workouts. I called the out-of-town athletes to check to see how they were doing and answered any questions. Some of the athletes were having issues with sticking to the workout plan or nutrition plan. I reminded the athletes that if they stuck to the workout and nutrition plan in the manual, camp would be easier in August.
This week I focused on the new athletes who were coming to Tiffin to work out during the summer. I tried to introduce them to some of the other athletes so they could start coming with the current football players and start building relationships with them. I encouraged the current players to be leaders to the new athletes. Leadership is an important part of a team and I wanted the current players to step up to challenge of being leaders on the team. I took about 30 minutes on Friday to do a quick cleaning of the weight room since Coach Ison wanted me to do a complete cleaning next week.
The organizational culture that exists with the Tiffin University football team is a compete culture (Cameron, Quinn, DeGraff, & Thakor, 2003). This type of organizational culture is results-driven, competitive, and goal-oriented. The head football coach is the leader of the team and he works with the Athletic Department and the Athletic Director. The head coach trusts the strength and conditioning coach to implement a program that makes the athletes successful on the field. If the head coach wants the strength and conditioning coach to work on a certain area for improvement, he will speak to the strength coach about what he wants to be accomplished. The strength coach will then plan and implement a program to reach that goal. The strength coach will communicate his plan to me as his intern and I will help him follow through with the plan. If the strength program is doing something the head coach does not think is accomplishing the goal he gave the strength coach, he will speak to the strength coach in order to fix whatever issues the head coach has with the program. Ultimately, the head coach is the leader of the team and all the staff under him is working towards the goals of the head coach.
