Everyday I go to track practice but I have never really noticed what my coach goes through to run the team. I am studying the subculture of coaches to see what the up and downs are of being a college coach. Yesterday at 3:30 I was at practice when my coach walked up wearing his usual khaki shorts with a blue and white colar shirt sporting an NSU logo. He had already made our workouts for the whole week, something he does sunday night before every week. When he met up with us we were standing behind the Unviersity Center and he gave his usual speech of everyday matters and get the most out of each workout. One thing I do seem to notice about coach is that he seems to be stressed a lot, which I can understand when he is just one person trying to coach 55 other athletes. I wanted to get away from my coach and observe a coach of a different team that was in action. That is when I decided to watch the men's basketball team in action at 7:30 against Palm Beach Atlantic. Gary Tuell is the head coach for the Sharks. I could hear the coach encouraging his team as soon as they came on the floor just for warm-ups. I could see the highs and lows a coach goes through during a game as coach Tuell was walking up and down the sideline coaching his team either in fustration or encouragement. At the end of the game NSU pulled out an 76-68 victory the ended with the both coaches on each team shaking hands. I will continue to try and get more in depth of what a coaches job consist of not only at practice or during competiton, but what they are doing in their offices and away from the sport.
