The Coach

A coach is the focal point within sports; they bring out the best results by creating a nurturing environment. A coach is aware of the capabilities of the group and seeks to enhance them through plans, analysis, and studying. Good coaches can assess the game as it develops and understand the importance of tactics – ultimately a coach is a leader.
