What does COACH mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person who trains and instructs an athlete, team or performer.
A coach studies technique, plans practice and gives feedback so that a player or team improves over time, whether in football, tennis, singing or public speaking. The same word also names a large, comfortable road vehicle for carrying passengers on long journeys, and the cheaper class of seating on a train or plane. Both senses grew from an older meaning of a horse-drawn carriage that carried people from one place to another, since a coach in the training sense also carries someone toward a goal. Modern English keeps all three senses fully alive side by side.
