Overcoached & Undertaught--Pete Carril Distinguishes Between Coaching & Teaching

Difference Between Coaching & Teaching

“There is a difference between teaching and coaching. When you are instructing your team about the actual game, you are teaching them, transmitting knowledge and information to them. There are guys who don’t teach their players anything or much of anything, but who go around and recruit the best players and win—they’re coaches but not teachers.”
--Pete Carril

The Two Important Things In Learning

From Coach Carril:
"Great philosophers of education have said there are two things important in learning. Both begin with a definition of the words to know.

One is learning facts, data--information. The other is knowing how to behave intelligently. That is what discipline means: behaving wisely.
