Coachability

/ˌkoʊtʃəˈbɪləti/ noun

Definition

The quality or capacity of being able to be taught, trained, or improved through coaching and instruction.

Etymology

From 'coach' (a trainer or instructor, originally from a town name in Hungary) plus the suffix '-ability' (capacity to be), creating a modern term for a desirable quality in learners and athletes.

Kelly Says

In sports and business today, coachability has become just as valued as raw talent—a humble person willing to learn often succeeds more than a gifted person who refuses feedback!
