coach

Eine Person, die andere beim Lernen oder Trainieren unterstützt, Tipps gibt und hilft, Ziele zu erreichen.

The German word "Coach" is borrowed directly from English and refers to a person who trains or mentors others, especially in sports, personal development, or business.

  • It corresponds to "Trainer" in German, emphasizing a sports instructor.
  • It can also overlap with "Berater" (consultant/advisor) or "Mentor" (mentor).

Differences:

  • Coach often implies a broader role beyond just physical training, including personal or professional development.
  • Trainer typically focuses on sports or physical training.
  • Berater and Mentor emphasize guidance and advice rather than training.
