CoachingUP Activities
Great coaches help build high-functioning teams that are confident and competent, in two ways. First, by helping to guide the team as they move forward; and second, by imparting new skills to the team that allow them move faster when the coach isn't around.
Here's a short list of the kinds of activities that
your coach might employ. A great coach will tailor the activity to the
team's immediate needs, so your activities may incorporate elements of
several of the examples below--- or be something completely different!
