コーチング
解説 Definition
coaching はコーチング、指導という意味です。スポーツや仕事、学習などで、相手が力を伸ばせるように助言や練習の支援をすることを指します。日本語の「コーチング」と同じく使えますが、英語では具体的な指導活動全般にも広く使われます。
Coaching is the activity of helping someone improve a skill, performance, or professional ability through instruction, practice, advice, and feedback. It can take place in sports, education, or the workplace.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
coach「指導する」に -ing が付いた名詞で、相手の能力向上を助ける継続的な指導を表します。日本語同様に仕事の支援にも使いますが、tennis coaching や coaching in tennis のような具体的な技術指導にも自然です。training が技能練習全般を指すのに対し、coaching は助言やフィードバックを与える人との関係を意識して覚えましょう。
Build coaching from coach plus -ing and picture a coach guiding another person toward better performance. The guidance may include demonstration, practice, advice, questions, and feedback. It is not limited to sports: people receive coaching in speaking, leadership, or management as well as tennis. Learn phrases such as need coaching in a skill, offer coaching for new managers, and receive coaching from an expert. Training can describe a whole program of instruction, while coaching often highlights personalized guidance and an ongoing relationship with the person helping the learner improve.

coaching の語源・成り立ち Etymology
「coach」はハンガリーの町Kocs（コチ）に由来し、そこで作られた四輪馬車がcoachと呼ばれた。家庭教師の意味は「馬車で目的地へ導く」という比喩から生まれ、-ingで行為を表す。関連語: coachman（御者）。学びを目的地へ運ぶイメージが核心。
Coaching comes from coach plus the activity-forming suffix -ing. Coach originally named a type of carriage associated with Kocs, a town in Hungary known for carriage making. The word later acquired a figurative educational sense: a tutor or instructor helped carry a learner toward a goal, as a vehicle carries a passenger. From the noun came the verb coach, “to train or instruct,” and coaching then named that activity.
