kdsmith27 14 Report post Posted August 8, 2008 Managerial Perspectives of Coaching Wrestlingby Chris Vondruska3/6/08IntroductionWhat are the key ingredients to a thriving organization? Is it the capital requiredto start them? Is it the facilities in which they operate? Or is it the equipment usedeveryday? Both my research in sport studies and my experience in the sport of wrestlinghave allowed me to understand how useless these material resources would be withoutthe sufficient human resources. In a business setting human resources are made up ofemployees and their managers; business can only use these material resources (capital,facilities, and equipment) with their employees and managers who convert them intowealth.1 In a sport setting (such as wrestling) the human resources are the athletes andcoaches; these coaches resemble managers in the sense that their major function is tomanage their athletes. In most organizations sports or not, human resources are a uniqueresource and are all that matter because it is the people that make the organizations run.Without the athletes and coaches, the facilities and equipment would be useless.Furthermore, with athletes and coaches that lack the characteristics required for suchpositions, the activity would go nowhere.Former head football coach at The Ohio State University, Woody Hayes, wasfond of the saying Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
