History of coaching

The history of coaching can be traced back as far as Ancient Greece, where coaches were used in athletic training. The word "coach" itself comes from the Hungarian term "kocsi szeker," referring to horse-drawn carriages used to transport aristocrats. In the 18th and 19th centuries, coaching expanded to include not only athletics, but also education and business. However, it wasn't until the 20th century that personal coaching as we know it today began to emerge. In the 1960s, life coaching and executive coaching began to gain popularity in the United States. Today, coaching is a thriving industry with a wide range of specializations and methodologies.
