Football. Basketball. Soccer. Hockey. In any sport, a coach is an invaluable part of any team.

The coaches’ job is to shape athletes in a sport by analyzing their performance, teaching them relevant skills and providing encouragement. Of course, a great coach will not only help a player perform better and grow physically stronger, he or she will guide the athlete in life and help them become a better person overall.
