I spoke to a friend of mine last week who now sees himself as a facilitator, not a coach.
It went something like this: Too many kids in a small space. Very few of the kids want to learn a skill anyway, and besides “the game is the teacher.”
I get it and maybe you do too.
A facilitator assumes a neutral role, managing group dynamics to meet specified goals and outcomes. In contrast, a babysitter is in charge of the safety of the child in their care, and manages behaviour, often to make their lives easier.
What role do you play?
