 CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

The coach is one of the most important people who guide individuals or organization.
Coaching supports a learner or client achieving a specific personal or professional goal by
providing training and guidance. Coaching is applied in fields such as sports, performing arts,
acting, business, education, health care, and relationships. Coaches use a range of communication
skills such as targeted restatements, listening, questioning, clarifying, etc. to help clients shift
their perspectives and thereby discover different approaches to achieve their goals.

Rationale of the Study

Hiring Sports coaches is very popular among athletes. All sports have coaches especially
basketball, volleyball, football, tennis, etc. A sports coach has a significant role in a team because
they assist the athletes in developing to their full potential. They are responsible for training
athletes in a sport by analyzing their performances, instructing in relevant skills and by
encouraging. They also create the right conditions for learning to happen and to find ways of
motivating the athletes. They are responsible for the guidance of the athlete in their chosen sport.

There are many kinds of coaches. Finding a coach suitable for you can be hard. Not every
coaching relationship is smooth flowing and joyous. Some coaching relationships are contentious,
peppered with arguments, power struggles, and other tension-inducing elements. Knowing your
coach will be a significant part of training to be more effective and determined on the goal.

Sports coaches in Cebu can be difficult to be acknowledged by players due to the lack of
information on coaches. Some coaches are not popular enough to be recognized by the people.
Another barrier could be limited resources to advertise themselves. And other coaches do not
have social media accounts. These are the problems and barriers to acquiring the coach’s data.

Surveying for places to conduct training can be a hassle for many Cebuano trainees and
coaches. The lack of facilities and crowded gyms can be a deterrent to training. Some sports
facilities are miles away and travel time is an obstacle. Choosing a suitable sports facility for both
parties is essential for training. Conflict of schedule for using the training facilities can be a
troublesome experience especially for the trainee that has tight schedules.
 2

WePlay is a website that helps coaches and players in Cebu City find each other and
acquire on certain goals, communicate effortlessly and plan venues for training. Players can
choose their preferred coach for the goal to achieve. Surveying sports facilities would be easy and
fast. Coaches can promote themselves effortlessly for free.

Objectives of the Study

The study aims to develop a coach-player finder & court schedule booking system for
player and coaches without having to meet each other in person for planning training sessions &
book court schedule with training facilities.

To achieve this aim the specific objectives are:

1. To gather data about the coaches’ profile;

2. To build a rating scheme of coaches and players; and
3. To identify the notification scheme.

Scope and Limitations of the Study

WePlay aims to develop a system wherein athletes and sports enthusiasts can find sports
coaches for their training. The system will boost the popularity of the coaches and revenues. The
athlete can send request/s or propose training plans to any sports coach user in the system which
coaches can accept or decline.

WePlay is a talent matching system where a person with a talent can match with coaches
but it is only limited to physical sports like basketball, volleyball, tennis, and etc. During the
payment transaction with player and coaches, sports coach cannot receive any payment from the
player directly. The system will only be operational with the use of an internet connection.

Significance of the study

The study is beneficial to the following:

Players. They will be able to find coach according to their needs to help them with their
trainings.
Coaches. They will have more customers as they can advertise their credentials by creating a
profile.
 3

Researchers. Researchers can share knowledge with what they know about the study, and also
gain knowledge about what they still don’t know about the study.
Future Researchers. This will help them with their future research related to this kind of project.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter includes a detailed discussion about “WePlay: Talent Matching System” to
better understand the purpose of the study it includes the review of related literature and studies.

Related Literature

In 1994 Vikki G. Brock saw the need for coaches to assist people as companies
transitioned to a more participative leadership style. In 1995, she left her 21-year career at The
Boeing Company to start VB Coaching & Consulting with the mission of providing premier
coaching services to leadership. Dr. Brock specializes in bringing coaching skills into business
and industry. Her clients are high performance and hi-potential leaders and organizations
undergoing transformation.

Vikki defines coaching as 'raising awareness, so people are at conscious choice." Since
2005, Vikki's practice has expanded beyond North America to every continent. Committed to
transformation at a global level, one-third of her clients are international leaders committed to
making a difference in their country. Dr. Brock is committed to life-long learning and
contributing to the field of coaching. The foremost subject matter expert on the roots and
emergence of the coaching field, her impressive credentials include an Executive MBA, a PhD in
Coaching and Human Development, and Master Certified Coach (MCC) from the International
Coach Federation (ICF).

Vikki was one of the first coaches to receive an MCC from the ICF in 1998. Dr. Brock
has been actively involved with governance, accreditation, and credentialing with the ICF since
its inception in 1996. She served as Director of the History and Archive Division at The Coaching
Commons, a project of The Harnisch Foundation (2005-2010). She has published numerous
articles on the coaching profession, is an adjunct professor in a university executive coaching
certificate program, and frequently speaks internationally on coaching. Vikki provides sessions
face-to-face at client sites and by telephone from her 50' sailboat named Cuidado, which is
moored in Ventura Harbor about an hour north of Los Angeles, (Brock 2012).

Training effects everything from the day we are born until now. We started to walk, talk,
and read by training. Every day we learn and improve We just need a guide to correct our wrong
and know what is right. According to (Melville Leedham 2009). Pilots learn to fly aircraft
through the process of training. MBA students learn to manage the future through the process of
education. The effect of training is convergence. The effect of education and development is
divergence. Values, opinions, behavior, and culture are all affected. If we train MBA students and
educate pilots, we are headed for nosedive

Physical activities can improve our daily life it reduces the chances of having disease it
also gives benefits such as flexibility, strong bones, stamina strength and etc. According to D.
(Stanley Eitzen 2009). The exercise requires sports participants is good for them. It promotes
coordination, stamina, strength, strong bones, joints flexibility, and heart and lung capacity.
Exercise diminishes the ill effect of disease such as diabetes. It reduces hypertension (high blood
pressure), lowers bad cholesterol, and raises good cholesterol. Physical activity is an important
part of controlling weight.”

Another method of coaching is online coaching. Online coaching or e-coaching is an

efficient way of coaching because the learner does not need to travel in order to study, also the
coach or tutors can work in any location. The technology allows the opportunity to meet live
online with many experts which can’t be done due to the distance between the learner and tutor. It
also allows learners to share questions via email or chat rooms. (Janice Caplan 2003).

Skills are being passed through generations. Today there are so many young athletes that
are good in their sports. Sports are very beneficial to the young athletes it contributes to the
child’s ability to learn. According to (Istvan Balyi, Richard Way, Colin Higgs 2013). Evidence
shows that physically active, fit children perform better in the classroom and that daily physical
education does not hinder academic performance. Infact, an increase in physical activity levels
maintains and occasionally enhances academic performance, despite a reduction in study time
(Sallis et al. Shepard, 1996, 1997).

Related Studies

According to Bendíková Physical activity is a tool for maintaining physical and mental
balance that can result in increased fitness, performance, self-confidence and self-fulfillment and
 7

self-confirmation. Despite its physical and mental benefits, we must say that there is a constant
decrease in amount of regular daily or weekly physical activity in all age stages (Liba, 2000).

Since the ample of sports categories are existing out there, it is becoming all the way
more difficult for the users to identify the appropriate sports coaches be it for the basketball, table
tennis, cricket or maybe anything else. Since today’s generation is embracing the idea of being fit,
hence they are constantly looking for the sports coaches so as to undergo training and sports
sessions. Thus, we can say that the Sports Coach Finder mobile app had become the need for the
hour and the businesses investing in the niche are likely to earn chunks of revenues. Moreover,
the sports coaches can also showcase themselves on the app plus can attract visibility on a good
note.

Coachfinder offers user a common platform to view, select and get advice on which job
and pathway is the best fit for one’s development in coaching. For a Club or Sports provider, it
offers a dedicated platform to source available coaches that best fit the coaching needs of clubs.
(Coachfinder, 2016)

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This section covers the steps, procedures, actions and technical specification to
strengthen and widen the understanding of the study. It includes the features and materials that
will be used to develop a Coach Finder System that shall match the objectives of the study
requirements.

Software Development Methodology

The methodology used in this study is the Agile Software Development Methodology as
the proponents’ qualitative methodology. Qualitative methodology focuses on words rather than
numbers. This study is concerned with the understanding the human behavior from the informant’
perspective. The data collected from the participant’s observation will be used to improved and
enhance the system. This method uses interview and seeks for participants opinion their
observation.

Figure 2: Agile Methodology

 11

The figure 2 shows the continuous iteration of the Agile Methodology that is used as the
software development of the study. The Agile Methodology has six phases: planning,
requirements analysis, design, development, testing, and deployment.
Requirements Analysis

In the requirements analysis phase, the researchers had collected the data of coaches and
sports enthusiasts. The following information to be used are: user’s identifications, contact
information, sports played/coached, sports experience, addresses, and coach’s skills. The purpose
of the data gathered is to build the coaches and players profile. The data gathered will be the
guide for our user interface design. The intended users are the coach and players.

Design and Architecture

In the design phase, the gathered information and requirements have given idea to the
Researchers design for the system. The researchers discussed how the team can match the
coaches and players. For the software design, the researchers aim to create a friendly-user app
with a soft look that is pleasing to the eyes.

Development and Coding

In the development phase of the study, the goal of the researchers is to develop the
system design into a website. The major component in this phase is writing the programs to build
the WePlay website and fins investors to compensate the expenses for future development of the
project.

Quality Assurance & Software Testing

In the testing phase, the researchers will focus on the practical review, in which the result
the test will describe the quality of the system. The researcher’s goal in this phase is to ensure that
the system is successfully built and has completed all the requirements during the development
phase and together with the design parameters. The researchers will make sure that the talent
matching system will successfully coordinate with the software by conducting several tests. The
testing will not stop until the level of confidence on the system is achieved.
 12

Implementation

In this phase, the system will be ready to be used in a real environment by the end users.
The rule of the deployment phase that the WePlay team needs to follow is to ensure that the code
and technology deploy appropriately.

Maintenance and support

In the maintenance phase, the website requires maintenance to operate properly. Properly
maintaining the site helps to ensure site security, increase the number of new visitors, boost
returning traffic, and more.

Planning Conception-Initiation Phase

Planning and conception- initiation, it is where the start of the undertaking is introduced.
The researchers made a plan of action canvas for the marketable strategy of the undertaking, the
Gantt diagram which contains the assignments and exercises that the venture needs and its given
span. It likewise incorporates the functional decomposition of the project which demonstrates the
progressive system of various business forms that is engaged with the venture that necessities
itemized operations, capacities, and activities.

Table 2 explains the business model canvas of WePLay. The key partners on this project
are the Sports Coach and Sports Enthusiasts. Each entity can provide and offer big help in
creating and making the project work. These entities will help the researchers succeed in areas
that the researchers would be inefficient to do alone. The key activities represented on the canvas
are the activities that the researchers/developers are and will be performing in creating the
project. As for value proposition, the aim of the project is to create a faster, easier, less effort and
better way of finding coach and player. With this, it could boost the coaches’ popularity and
revenue since it will help make more clients for the coaches. The relationship with customers will
be maintained through developing new features, and good response to customer feedback and
suggestions for further system improvement. For Customer segments, the possible group of
clients appropriate for this project are the sports coaches, sports players, and court owners. The
key resources that the Researchers need are programmers and UI designer. The channels that
could be used for gaining client is through direct advertising and mass media. The cost structure
will be website publishing cost and web storage hosting cost for the system. Revenue streams, the
possible means of gaining profit is commissions, for every transaction with the sports enthusiasts
and coaches there is a commission, maintenance fee for the upkeep of the website, and
advertisements fees from coaches’ and training facility for posting their profile.

Program Work Flow

The following figure shows the processes and tasks that the WePlay: Talent Matching
System executes. The objects below are arranged in order to understand the whole process of the
system

Figure 3: Program Work Flow

The Figure 3 shows the flow of the study and on how the user use the program. First if
the user is already registered, the user can login using a valid account but if the user does not have
account, the user must create an account before proceeding to login. To create an account the user
must choose whether he wants to register as coach or as a player. After the user register. If the
user is a player, the user must choose a coach to book session and wait for the request to be
accepted by the coach. On the other hand, if the user is a coach the user must wait to have a
request to have a trainee. If request is accepted, the request will be passed to the coach and to
check if the schedule is available and send notification to the player, and if the coach will decline
the request, the system will notify the player that the request has been decline by the coach.

Functional Decomposition Diagram

This section is the presentation of the various function, processes and other object broken
down into lower level. The diagram covers the detailed functionality of each component that is
present on the proposed system and how each component would interact with each other.

Figure 5: Functional Decomposition Diagram

Figure 5 shows the hierarchal breakdown of the system flow. The presentation began
with the system itself going down to its lower level processes, according to how the user uses the
system and how the system would react to circumstances. It is an overview of what the proposed
system can perform. The system is intended for specific users, the coach, player, and the training
facility, who could login and logout. The training facility owners, coach, and player can access
the system through the website. Three types of users are authorized to use the system namely the
sports coach, sports players, and training facility owners. Coach, player and facility users can
register by filling out the required information. When already registered, users can now access the
website. Coach and players have different access than the training facility owners. Coach and
players can only view profiles, view sports events, view online users, post pictures, send
messages to other users, save specific events, view court schedules, and send court reservation
request to the training facilities while training facility owners can view and edit court schedules,
post sports events & news, accept or decline court reservation request, and receive court request
notifications.
