Coaching

Perhaps one of the most powerful ways of understanding coaching is from the end. If we know what we are intending to accomplish, we can correct our selves as we go along. Coaching as being more than an accountability partner that supports someone in reaching his/her goals or as a disciplinarian who changes someone's unwanted actions. Instead coaching occurs in a bigger frame that sometimes includes these modalities but goes way beyond that. Long-Term Excellent Performance: Meaning the client meets the high objective standards of the discipline in which coaching is occurring. Standards are objective when they can be observed by any component person. For Example hitting a home run in baseball, nailing that lick in a song, sacking a quarterback w/ 5(sec) on the clock for the win, as is checkmate in a game of chess; however we must know something about each game to be able to observe these outcomes as favorable. Self Correction: Well-coached clients can observe when they are preforming well and when they are not. Making necessary adjustments independently of the coach. By keeping this criterion in mind, coaches can avoid the temptation of becoming indispensable and, instead, work to built the competence of their client. Self Generation: We, as people, can always improve, and well coached people know this and will find continually find ways on their own to do so.
