Editing Coaching (section)

==Origins==

The word "coaching" originated in the 16th century and initially referred to a method of transportation, specifically a horse-drawn carriage. It derived from the Hungarian word {{lang|hu|kocsi}} which meant a carriage from the village of [[Kocs]], known for producing high-quality carriages. Over time, the term "coaching" transitioned from its literal transportation context to metaphorically represent the process of guiding and supporting individuals in their personal and professional development.

The first use of the term "coach" in connection with an instructor or trainer arose around 1830 in [[Oxford University]] slang for a tutor who "carried" a student through an exam.<ref name="etymonline">{{Citation | title = coach| url = http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=coach| publisher = Online Etymology Dictionary | access-date = 4 July 2015}}.</ref> The word "coaching" thus identified a process used to transport people from where they are to where they want to be. The first use of the term in relation to [[sport]]s came in 1861.<ref name="etymonline"/>
