Participation vs Elitism
- 1. Link
- 2. Participation vs Elitism Presentation by Rob Colombo 2nd Vice President Competitive Standards Committee (Chair)
- 3. Participation vs Elitism Question: What are your memories from participating in high school sports?
- 4. Participation vs Elitism Question: As coach, what is your defining memory?
- 5. Participation vs Elitism Why is it so often that these views conflict? Students tend focus on memories of participation Coaches tend focus on competition results Teachers coachesâ views tend to be different from community coachesâ views
- 6. Participation Brings people together New skills are learned New friendships made There is a sense of belonging in which everyone realizes they're part of one team, which is their school http://www.mg.co.za/article/ 2010-11-30-competition-vs- participation
- 7. Competition Competition is also healthy. It motivates learners to try even harder. Winning is a morale booster. Further develops skills. There is also the sheer enjoyment and fun of taking part in winning. http://www.mg.co.za/article/ 2010-11-30-competition-vs- participation
- 8. Competition Positive competition involves determined but, crucially important, friendly rivalry. Values such as perseverance, respect, being humble in victory and gracious in defeat are learnt. When the competition involves teamwork, important life skills are taught. Everyone knows the team is more important than the individual. Together they can do so much more. http://www.mg.co.za/article/ 2010-11-30-competition-vs- participation
- 9. Elitism Increasing numbers of children who specialize in a sport at an early age , train year-round for a sport and/or compete on an "elite" level. Media coverage of national & international competition has focused attention on very talented but very young competitors. The successes of young athletes can serve as a powerful inducement for others to follow. Pediatrics, Jul2000, Vol. 106 Issue 1, p154, 4p
- 10. Elitism Along with media coverage, the lure of college scholarship or a professional career can also motivate athletes (and their parents) to commit to specialized training regimens at an early age. The low probability of reaching these lofty goals does not appear to discourage many aspirants. Pediatrics, Jul2000, Vol. 106 Issue 1, p154, 4p
- 11. Elitism Most Olympic sports have selection processes that attempt to identify future champions and initiate specialized training--often before the prospect finishes elementary school. Pediatrics, Jul2000, Vol. 106 Issue 1, p154, 4p
- 12. SPORT FOR LIFE (âOwn the Podiumâ) âTraditionally, physical education in the schools, recreational sports, and elite sport have been developed separatelyâŠfails to ensure that all children, including those who may choose to become elite athletes, are given a solid foundation and knowledge baseâ http://www.canadiansportforlife.ca/
- 13. SPORT FOR LIFE (âOwn the Podiumâ) âThe results of the survey show that while sport school programs have grown and evolved in BC, they are not currently catering to high performance athletes and may not be providing a high quality training environment for their student-athletesâ http://www.canadiansportforlife.ca/
- 14. SCHOOL SPORTS Encyclopedia of Education, 2002 The Objective of School Sports: 1. The enrichment of the high school experiences of students within the context of the educational mission of schools. 2. As such, school sports should be educational and contribute to the overall education of all students, not athletes only. 3. Citizenship, Sportsmanship, fair play, teamwork, respect, and health and welfare of all students not only during the school years but continuing into adulthood.
- 15. SCHOOL SPORTS Encyclopedia of Education, 2002 Other Findings: There is a lack of uniform standards for coaches education âRogue Schoolsâ that focus on single sports, elite programs, & recruiting High School programs generally emphasize competition and program success (rather than developing skills for the next level of athletic competition)
- 16. SCHOOL SPORTS Encyclopedia of Education, 2002 Nonschool Sports: Programs for talented young athletes (and by extension some coaches) to participate in a sport after the school season, but during the school year and have expanded in the summer Some of these programs also compete directly with school sports

- This wordle is take from the BCSS handbook (minus definitions and preamples of whoâs what within BCSS).Interesting points from the Wordle: BCSS is about schools and student-athletes.Competition is greater than participationEligibility and regulations do play a part.Boys and girls are equally weighted Eligible and Approved occurs more often than ineligible Coach is barely visible (inside the h of school)Members are an important of our organizationApparently âmustâ is really important.
- Thanks for giving me some time to present on this topic.Carefully note that I have not chosen Participation vs Competition. That is a different topic but I also touch on it in this presentation.The purpose of this presentation is to get you, the representatives of member schools of BCSS to think of our goals or mission as an organization that provides sports in a school setting.
- I do not want this to be about what I think school sports is about. I want you to engage in your experiences of school sport.We sit here now, as adults, but most (if not all) of us started our experiences as athletes playing for school sports.Time to share:Turn to the person next to you and share with them your memories.IS THERE ANYONE WILLING TO SHARE THOSE MEMORIES WITH US?
- Letâs fast forward a few years, you are not longer that high school athlete. You are a coach of high school sports.
- How many coaches have experienced this scenario?Losing a big match, driving the bus in the dark of night, replaying every play in their head, looking at every error made, the TSN turning point and it just not right outcome⊠the team could have, should have won.Have you every listened closely to the continuous chatter from back of the bus? The conversations starts the same as yours (focusing on the end result), but very quickly change those conversations change to sound bites of the game. The score does not matter.The other key point is the difference in answers between teacher and community coaches. Teachers coaches will more often have community or school related experience. âgiving the opportunity to unlikely athleteâ. Community coaches experiences are limited to gym not to the entire school population or culture. This is not to say that community coaches invaluable to school sports but rather have a different perspective than teacher coaches.
- Looking back to the values that school sports provide to students athletes in terms of participation.
- There is much talk about whether BCSS should be about participation or competition. That is not what I am here to presentation. Competition is healthy, it is important.
- Note that I have used two slides to promote the benefits of healthy competition.Competition involves sportsmanship. We must not forget that as coaches!Team work!! Is this not a skill that every one promotes today.
- Here is the difference. Competition is not elitism. Elitism is resulting in children who are specializing in sport at an early age. (click) Train year-round for a sport (click) and compete on an elite level.We, as coaches, are sucked in to the same mind set that propel parents into pushing their children into elite programs. We all are coerced by exceptional athletes in the media spot light and believe that we can all achieve the same level of success.
- We must look at elitism in a different mindset. For those coaches who think that they develop elite athletes in the school system; they are mostly wrong. Elite athletes need to be in the elite program with only elite athletes. School sports may have the best athletes in the their school but they are not a collection of the best athletes in the region, province or country. I do believe that school sports is the grassroots of elite programs (LEARNING TO TRAIN, TRAINING TO TRAIN); we introduce student athlete to sports but elitism is not our end product.We have just experienced the successes of elitism first hand. The Vancouver Olympics showcases the âOwn the Podiumâ with Canadaâs best medal performance ever at the Olympics Games.
- âOwn the Podiumâ (CLICK) is the headline of Canadianâs Sport for Life program. This program provided the backing of Canadianâs Long Term Athlete Development Program. This program has many great attributes including research based development of athletes and development of healthy active people. It promotes growth of skills and strength and life long commitments to being active. This is a wonderful concept but falls incredibly short.But this is a thinly veiled, program to promote elitism and keep Canada on top of the world in athlete development. Funding for Sports for Life is limited to 2% of the population who will become part of âOwn the Podiumâ.This is what Sports for Life says about school sports.
- Inherent problems: LTAD
- What is the objective of School Sport? In doing research for this presentation, I came across an timely article with regards of school sport and the cross roads that we as an organization find ourselves at.Here is what the article has to say.
- Interesting findings that are express where BCSS is today with the issues that we face. What can we do the address all this? This is where we must look more closely about what are as an organization, what we do and how we do it.
- At the beginning of this presentation, everyone saw a wordle. (CLICK LINK) If you have never seen a wordle, a wordle is a cloud of words from any source. The size of the words is relative to the frequency that a word is used in the source. This is where you, as representative of the members of BCSS have your opportunity to provide feedback to organization.Working in small group of 2, 3 or 4. Take time to discuss this topic. Please record your thoughts, ideas and feedback.
- There is no right answers and there no wrong answers. All answers fit along a continuum. But we need to know where the membership sits on the continuum. What is important is that SCHOOL must not be taken out of School Sport.
