A Partial Definition

Best friends are the people who make your problems their problems just so you don't have to go through them alone.

I saw this Tweet in my feed, and it spoke to me.

First, because I feel it is the truth.
Second, because this is partially what I hope to be as a coach.

I want to be there for teachers, and support them through difficult times.
I want to be able to offer insights that will help them achieve their goals.
I want to be helpful.
I want to be a good teammate.

These are all the reasons I love being a coach and what drew me to the position in the first place.

These are not all that a coach does though, it's only a partial definition.
