Should a coach’s goal be to become perfect? This is the ideal workout, training program, or practice routine. A perfect sequence of signals or progressions. It’s a seductive goal and one that can be classified as aspirational. The goal of positivism, like that of a scientist’s experimental design, is to create a perfect world. But, just as that promise has proven elusive, and with it, the growth of knowing and doing as more philosophical and paradoxical than certain and certain (at least to some), can’t striving for perfection as a coach be problematic as well? Besides, the perfect coach is rational and productive… As a result, giving learners the space and time, they need to develop more suitably may gradually decrease. Even the well-meaning coaching mantra of ‘focus on the process aimed at learners has come to mean ‘training in a specific way’ rather than learning and developing according to the unique context of ‘need’ and ‘reality’.
