The difference between an instructor and a coach

An instructor shows up for class on time.
A coach comes to class early.

An instructor rifles through his playlist 5 minutes before the ride.
A coach has a ride planned.

An instructor sticks with the chosen ride, regardless of who's in the class.
A coach makes modifications to the planned ride, depending on who's in the class.

An instructor doesn't really concern herself much with learning people's names, after all they come and go.
A coach makes a point of learning people's names, regardless of whether they come or go.

An instructor puts his class through their paces, not really sure as to why.
A coach understands the purpose of each drill.

An instructor calls out cues.
A coach teaches.

An instructor rushes off to her next class.
A coach stays behind to answer questions.

Which are you?
