coach:  Show Spelled Pronunciation [kohch]

a person who trains an athlete or a team of athletes: a
football coach.

Diablo coaches feel the responsibility not only to teach their
players the skills and strategy behind the game, but also a
respect for the tradition of the game and for all who are
involved (teammates, opponents, officials, and fans).
Learning to honor the game contributes to a growing sense
of responsibility and maturing moral reasoning that helps
athletes prepare to become contributing citizens of the
larger community.

Coaches realize that what they are teaching their players
carries far beyond the field into the classroom, the home,
and even into future jobs. Coaches have their players (and
team as a whole) focus on their effort and personal
improvement, rather than simply on the results of the game.
They help players recognize that mistakes are an inevitable
and important part of the learning process and that a key to
success is being able to rebound from mistakes with
renewed determination. This way, players gain a sense of
control over their own development and confidence in their
ability to succeed, in life as well as in sports.
