Deep dives

The Evolution of Coaching

Coaching, particularly in sports, has a relatively recent history, gaining formal recognition only in the early 20th century. Initially, some athletes believed that having coaches was unfair, as it deviated from the self-driven spirit of sports. Tim Galway, a pioneering tennis coach, transformed the perception of coaching by emphasizing the role of the coach as a facilitator rather than an authoritarian figure. His approach focused on enabling athletes to learn through inquiry and reflection, which laid the groundwork for modern performance and leadership coaching.
