When you find something new you love, you often want to tell everyone about it. A TV programme, a new recipe or even a hobby you love. But when it comes to finding or having a coach, how can you tell whether they’re coaching you for your goals as an individual, or perhaps they’re just projecting the practices and principles from their own hobbies?
