I'm a student of Dan John's coaching philosophy and his summary of the whole activity aligns nicely with your last paragraph: "A coach, by definition, carries the athlete from HERE to THERE."

And, as that could be interpreted a lot of ways, he talks constantly about how those called to coach have to walk WITH the athlete along the path. I agree with that and so I agree with every bit of this!

"We coach people playing games and our job is to help them find and retain the joy that these games provide." This is the whole, entire, and complete point. Thank you!
