WHAT IS COACHING?
Coaching Is Unlocking A Person’s Potential To Maximize Their Own Performance.
It Is Helping Them To Learn Rather Than Teaching Them.
John Whitmore
Put simply, coaching is a process that aims to improve performance and
focuses on the ‘here and now’ rather than on the distant past or future.
While there are many different models of coaching, here we are not
considering the ‘coach as expert’ but, instead, the coach as a facilitator of
learning.
There is a huge difference between teaching someone and helping them
to learn. In coaching, fundamentally, the coach is helping the individual to
improve their own performance: in other words, helping them to learn.
Good coaches believe that the individual always has the answer to
their own problems but understands that they may need help to
find the answer.
The essential part of coaching, then, is to help people to learn to
silence that inner voice and allow their instincts, or their
subconscious, to take over. Sometimes that means distracting it,
and sometimes it’s about exploring the ‘worst case scenario’ and
removing the fear.

1)Unconscious Incompetence
2) Conscious Incompetence
3) Conscious Competence
4) Unconscious Competence
Coaches need to identify the stage at which an individual is at to use the right sort
of language to help them move to the next stage. After all, it’s difficult to try to
improve a skill if you don’t know that you lack it
WHAT DOES A COACH DO?
A coach needs to be able to understand people's strengths and weaknesses,
and promote and maintain motivation in those that they work with. They use
a variety of skills to analyse individual and team performance, and provide
training to improve sporting results and output
Coaches provide guidance, support, and accountability.
They offer an outside perspective, ask thought-provoking questions, and
provide valuable insights to facilitate self-discovery and growth.
With their expertise and experience, coaches empower individuals to navigate
challenges, make informed decisions, and achieve desired outcomes.
