My definition: “Coaching is a process that helps the student determine HOW to get from WHERE you are NOW to WHERE you want to be.” The coaches role is to ask you the questions that prompt you to think and then you come up with the answers. Coaches hold you accountable for what you say you are going to do.Another textbook definition I like, “Coaching closes the gap between where he/she is now and where he/she wants to be. It is a professional relationship with someone who accepts nothing but your best and who will advise you, guide you and encourage you to go beyond self-imposed limitations in order to realize his/her full potential.”Accepts nothing but your best – only get out of what you put into itSelf-imposed – Gremlin – inner negative voice that says you can’t do it, you’re not good enough, you will fail! Greatest killer or grand plans and great ideas!! Realize your full potential – coaching can help students reach their full potential
