¶ … Cup This past autumn FIFA, soccer's world-governing body, announced that the 2022 World Cup would be held in the Persian Gulf oil state of Qatar. The United States had bid on this event and many believed the country had a good chance of winning (Leonard, 2010)
There are other environmental concerns beyond the carbon footprint with respect to hosting the World Cup, but they are all negative. It has been estimated that at the 2006 World Cup in Germany each match was expected to use 3 million kilowatt hours of energy (around 700 European households annually) and product 5-10 tons of trash (Schmidt, 2006)
4% (Sustainable Business News, 2010). The same study found that the carbon footprint of the South Africa World Cup was eight times the amount of the 2006 World Cup in Germany (Smith, 2009)
Examples of affective outcomes of the work environment include (a) individual job satisfaction, an attitude based on the relationship between an organisation member's expectations of the job and what the job actually provides; (b) motivation, which is a member's willingness to exert effort on the job; (c) commitment, or a sense of identification, involvement and loyalty with respect to the organisation; (d) intrapersonal conflict, experienced when a member is faced with opposing expectations; and (e) stress and burnout. (Doherty, 1998, p

This requires human relations managers in sports organizations to be far more flexible than they would need to be in other types of organizations (Human Resources, Training, and Labor Relations Managers and Specialists

This is, of course, how most fans would go about determining the "best" team. However, what is not as clear to most fans, and probably even to many individuals who work within sports organizations, that the performance of athletes is very much tied to the basics of the human resources management skill and organization (Koehler, 1988)
As noted above, the great disparity in pay and other rewards (such as sponsorships, fan adoration, fame, etc.) that exist in soccer and other teams requires a constant force opposing this sense of inequality (Lehnus & Miller, 1996)
(p. 1) Much of the apparent organizational strategy of sports teams would seem to circulate around money, with the assumption that the team with the most money and the stars who get the biggest chunk of that money are the best organizations (Li, 1993)
This means both that everything is more connected to everything else and also that everything is becoming more and more alike everything else. One clear example of this is the fact that human resources management is now a welcome part of organizations (in fact, a needed part) that would never have felt the need for such a level of professional management before (Merkle, 2010)
One of the ways in which human resources managers help to maintain the health of a soccer team or other sports organizations is by connecting the overall success of a team to the work of each individual. Again, this is a platitude often heard in management memos, but it is also one that is all-too-often given simply lip service (Ulrich, 1996, pp
There are some psychological studies, however, that indicate a player's anxiety level, his confidence level, and his personal perception of his ability may provide some insight into predicting the player's potential success. The biggest problem that many coaches face when coaching young soccer players is the lack of confidence that most such players have in their own ability (Boixados, 2004)
As a result, parents and others fail to enter the season with the understanding that teaching will be the goal and the human nature aspect takes over and the only recognizable goal is to win. The goal of all youth soccer coaches should be to teach and not to teach game tactics but to teach technical skills (Fraser-Thomas, 2006)
This lack of confidence transcends the mere shyness that young children often demonstrate but can grow into a much more serious problem unless an aware coach or parent steps in and works to assist the player with his confidence. Lack of confidence can be a problem that besets not only the individual player but it can also cause problems for the team (Lemyre, 2002)
¶ … United States soccer remains a relatively minor sport but, throughout the rest of the world, soccer (football to most of the world) is by far the most popular sport and is played with earnest in every nation (Metzi, 1998)
As any good coach recognizes, every player is unique and there is a variety of personalities on any team. Assessing these personalities is not as easy as watching and evaluating the team members as they interact before, during, or after practice (Stoeber, 2008)
Lack of confidence can be a problem that besets not only the individual player but it can also cause problems for the team (Lemyre, 2002). One of the best methods available for a coach to overcome confidence problems with his team is to set goals for the team (Turman, 2003)
Job Responsibilities Perhaps the most obvious responsibilities of the assistant coach include: designing the team strategic play with the head coach, assist the coach in teaching the strategy to the players and help an individual player develop or enhance their attitude towards the game as well as towards the players. But his responsibilities are a lot more diverse and include quite a few multi-dimensional aspects (Herbst, 1999)
They are also the one who deal with the brunt of the complaints or anger that parents express upon disapproval of a certain decision made. They are also thereof responsible for the transference of any schedule changes or match cancelations/delays that might occur (Jones, 1999)
"Besides carbon emission, other factors which pollute the environment such as noise pollution, littering should also be addressed equally and proper measures should be taken in order to deal with them." (Smith, 2005)
