Train or Coach

You train when one knows little. You coach when one knows how to perform but does not perform to one's potential or to the level expected.

You train when you know the other does not know.... You coach one when you know one knows it yet is unable to reach one's potential. So training starts with a basic assumption that one does not have knowledge or skills (totally or partially)... while coaching trusts one has the knowledge and skills, yet needs to fine tune them. Hence, the belief that answer lies within the individual. So the effort to facilitate individual's finding solutions to challenges on one's own.

You can train for skills and coach for better performance only if one shows the will to improve.
