A person who receives coaching or instruction from a coach; someone being trained or mentored.
From 'coach' (to instruct) plus the suffix '-ee' (indicating the recipient of an action), a modern formation paralleling words like 'employee' and 'trainee'.
The word 'coachee' is relatively new in English, reflecting how coaching has become professionalized—now we have coaches, coachees, and entire industries dedicated to personal and professional development!
