- Instructional coaches are not guides by the side or mentoring buddies. They coach; they train; they teach. Football season is here. A typical professional football team has 18 assistant coaches. Their job is to impart knowledge and skills, to train and bring out the potential in every player and mold them into a team that achieves success together.

- Asking more questions, instead of giving suggestions, has helped me shift from acting like an expert with all the answers (not my goal at all!) to being more collaborative.
