How is Coaching different from Training? Many professionals confuse the two. They both support each other, but the two concepts are distinctly different and serve two different functions. A simple metaphor to clarify these differences would be to think of just about any sport and what happens during practice where players learn fundamental skills like passing and catching. Training is about “developing” skills. Coaching is the “application” of skills during a real game. Skills must be developed before they can be “applied.” Once those skills are developed, each player then applies those skills on “game day,” where Coaching takes over. During a game, the coach is focused on winning and how the players are applying their skills to score points. The Coach provides direction and guidance based on what is actually happening during the game and how the competition is responding.
