Best Coach?
(Factors of respect toward the coach)

The key of this post is to gather information about what people/players/coaches respect of other coaches. I am doing a sort of investigation of what it’s mean to be a coach and I am reach the part of asking people all around the world what they respect about coaches. If you were be so kind of spending some time and read the next “Questions” I would be please. See the example below to see how to answer to the questions. I want you to think well and to answer me (as the example shows). If you want to extend your answer please be free to do so. I will made some sort of chart and explain it. Any questions just ask.Thanks for the time.
