The difference between an instructor and a coach - part 2

An instructor may or may not recertify.
A coach not only keeps his certification up to date, he upgrades.

An instructor gets paid to workout.
A coach gets paid to take her group to the next level.

An instructor tolerates the front desk staff.
A coach gets to know the front desk staff.

An instructor gets annoyed if one or two of his participants look like they're dogging it.
A coach understands that this is their workout and if at times they dog it, that's ok.

An instructor thinks nothing of hopping off her bike to add resistance to one of her participant's bikes.
A coach would never, ever touch someone else's resistance dial.

An instructor knows all the answers.
A coach asks all the questions.

An instructor is all about his riding.
A coach knows that there's so much more than just the riding.

Which are you?
