“Coach” – is responsible to train the athlete by providing the appropriate workouts that will lead to success. A coach also teaches the athlete through encouragement (telling them what they do well) and correction (telling them what they don’t do well and what needs to be fixed). A coach also provides motivation, guidance, communication, care, love and respect to the athlete. A coach is a source but not the primary source of motivation for the athlete or team. If the coach is doing more to motivate the athlete or team than they are themselves, the athlete won’t reach their potential.
“Athlete” – is responsible for the final result of all training. The athlete must execute the training to their best ability. The athlete is the primary source for all motivation, drive, encouragement, leadership, commitment, communication, learning, injury prevention and "coachability" for both themselves and the TEAM. A coach will provide resources but the athlete is ultimately the one who needs to get it done.
