Chuck Daly said he was a salesman--and also a teacher. It's true. If you can't teach, you can't lead. A salesman persuades people to a certain course of action, a teacher persuades people to become a certain kind of person. Great teachers inspire and motivate people to become learners with a hunger and thirst for knowledge. Great teachers inspire people to seek wisdom, to grow in character, to find solutions, to pursue knowledge and to stretch their understanding.
What makes a Teacher/Coach special is the ability to transfer knowledge to you. They teach what they know.
The deepest learning doesn't take place in the classroom, but in the laboratory of life.
Taken from, "The Paradox of Power" by Pat Williams
