Hey there! It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving Day is right around the corner. In the United States, this also means the coming of "Black Friday", which is the biggest shopping day of the year. In a stagnant retail situation, leading retailers such as Wal-Mart and Target are looking to be more aggressive than usual.
For the BGSU football fans out there, keep in mind that Black Friday (November 27th) is the day of the big game between BGSU and our rival school, the University of Toledo.
In sports, it is quite arguable that coaches are teachers. On the other hand, are teachers coaches? Should students receive direction and motivation from professors at the graduate level, or is it up to the students to be self-motivated? Is it a combination of both?
What do you think? Who should be held accountable for student performance? Who should be held accountable for student conduct? At the same time, who should be held accountable for teacher performance?
I leave you with a closing thought from "Coaching Advice: 'Coaches are teachers'": "Remember, not every classroom has desks." I believe that this is as relevant in sports as it is in business and in life. Learning experiences are around us everywhere. As a student, it is up to me to actively learn, not limiting my learning to the confines of a traditional classroom.
