Episode 127: The role of the master coach

May 08, 2020

The role of the master coach ultimately is to empower the student to learn everything they can. It's teaching a person to be empowered, not creating a dependant. In last weeks episode we spoke about dependencies. What's interesting and disturbing is that some coaches exploit that.

They become a drug dealer rather than a life dealer. Instead of coaching the bird to leave the nest and fly, they keep the bird small and make it feel helpless without the coach.

A true master coach is not about vanity and ego. They want their student to ultimately be better than them.
