Coaching & Training

• Coaches direct and instruct on-field operations of an athletic team or of individual athletes. Coaching entails the application of sport tactics and strategies during the game, and usually entails substitution of players and other such actions as needed.
• Most coaches are former participants in the sports in which they are involved, and those who are not have usually had extensive training in the sport in question.
• A coach also serves as a general manager, the team executive responsible for acquiring the rights to players and negotiating their contracts, generally in recent years with their agents, and for trading or dismissing players, but these roles have been increasingly likely to be seen as separate functions fulfilled by separate persons in more recent years, although many coach/general managers still exist.
