The Effect of Coaching Leadership Styles on Athletic Efficiency
No full textPurpose: Coaching leadership styles can enhance or possibly impair team and player performance. The purpose of this study was to identify if the agreed leadership styles of coaches and athletes impact athletic efficiency. Methods: This survey design had a sample of male (n = 15) and female (n = 12) athletes. Coaching leadership style preferences were examined by having all participants complete the Leadership Style Survey (LSS). Efficiency ratings of the athletes were calculated from 12 games from the 2019-2020 season. Results: The coaches supported the training and instruction leadership style (60%); the male athletes preferred training and instruction (47%) and positive feedback (47%); and the women favored positive feedback (58%) over training and instruction (42%). For analysis, the preferred leadership of the coaches was compared to the players that also prefer the same style. Conclusions: Results indicate that when player and coach leadership styles align, athletes are more efficient

St. Thomas Aquinas and H. L. A. Hart on the Philosophy of Punishment
No full textPunishment has long been a part of human societies, yet there is great disagreement regarding the justification of the practice of punishment. States impose punishment upon those who transgress the established system of law so as to maintain some level of order, and law necessarily addresses questions regarding who may be punished and how they ought to be punished. Knowledge of a consistent theory of punishment is valuable, for a theory that maintains contradictions will inevitably collapse, potentially propelling the practice it justifies toward corruption. This thesis examines a theory of punishment promoted by modern legal scholar H. L. A. Hart, whose theory incorporates both utilitarian and retributive aspects of punishment in a way that is ultimately contradictory. This thesis then considers the penal theory of St. Thomas Aquinas, whose retributive theory of punishment is situated within his political theory and his anthropology, which addresses the natural inclinations and ends of man. Aquinas's justification for punishment is superior to Hart's theory of punishment, not only because it is consistent but because it grounds its governing principle--justice--in what is natural to man (and subsequently best for man).PhilosophyH.
