Kellet, P. (2002). Football-as-War, Coach-as General,Metaphor and Management Implications. Football Studies, 5(1), 60-77. Retrieved July 17, 2008 from LA84 Foundation: http://www.la84foundation.org/SportsLibrary/FootballStudies/2002/FS0501g.pdf.

Strategy For Finding Article:
1. I found this article by using the articles and databases that were listed under my name for the in-class demo that we did.
2. I found the source by using the LA84 database. It is a database with sports realted items.
3. I chose this article because it tells stories of how certain coaching strategies are not efficient.

Rationale:
Before I read the article I thought it may be useful because of the couple of lines that was presented with the article when I searched for it.

General Evaluation:
The intended audience of this article is obviously football players or coaches, because that is what the journal is geered towards. This article has standing because of the multiple studies that were done to make up this article. Th article is a little dated because it was done in 2002. However, I feel that the information in the articke is timeless because it relates to things that have always and will always occur in sports.

Search Strategies Within the Article:
I simply looked for headings that pertained to my topic and skimmed through mist of the sections. This turned out to be not a very good way of searching, it was simply too ling. So, then i used a search within the pdf to search for "motivation" and that didn;t show anything. So, then i searched again for "coaching communication" and found relevant information.

Information Yielded:
Overall this article contains information of multiple studies done that shows the realtionship between sports and metepohaors to everyday life. It also contains information about how coaches can be authoritative and ooppressive which pertains to my question.

I don't plan to edit my question at this time.
