I very much consider myself a coach and educator. Coaching is a skill, an art and some would argue a science too. I have found that coaching and teaching is a process that can be applied to any context. Experience has taught me this. The process remains constant, and the subject, be it fitness, football, or any other domain, is simply a vehicle to enable coaching to take place. Coaching is about getting the best from people and empowering them to recognise their own potential. Whether I was teaching P.E, coaching elite level Football or taking fitness sessions, coaching has always been about relationships and about life. Because if the skill we are learning has no place in the wider context of the world, how valuable is it really? If you find that a coach really cares about you and about your life, and is able to listen and relate to you, they create the right environment for success to thrive.
