I'm intrigued by the amount of people who see coaching and parenting as fundamentally different. I know I have room to grow in both my coaching and parenting, but is there something here I'm not getting??
I feel my role as a parent is to accept my children for who they are, where they are. To guide, challenge, and encourage them as they grow into self-fulfilled adults.
I see my role as a coach the same way.
As a parent we teach our children continually, everything from how to complete mundane household tasks, to the abstract... how to treat other people, how to make good choices, how to live with bad choices, etc.
As a coach we teach physical abilities/skills and mental preparation as well.
Both are teaching, both are instructing, both are mentoring.
What am I missing here?
