Coaching enhances performance.
It can benefit anyone, not just athletes.
Everyone needs a coach. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a basketball player, a tennis player, a gymnast or a bridge player. We all need people who will give us feedback. That’s how we improve. - Bill Gates
Coaching is a process in which a coach supports a learner in achieving a specific personal or professional goal by providing training and guidance. The coach acts as a sounding board, helping the learner to make decisions, set goals and solve problems. Coaching can focus on a wide range of topics such as work performance, personal development, relationships, health, and more. The coaching process typically begins with the coach and learner establishing a relationship and setting goals. Coaching is a beneficial way to help individuals reach their goals and develop their skills.
