I want to ride a bike. Which professional should I go to for support?
Chose a…
Consultant - to work out which bike to ride
Therapist – to help you get over the fear and actually get on the thing
Mentor – to teach you how they have ridden the bike and model how you might like to do so yourself
Coach – to put you on the bike, help you pedal and then run along side as you get the job done
Thanks to Jairek Robbins for his words of wisdom in an interview with Dan Bradbury.

Thanks for your comment NiloFur.
How do you like to describe what a coach does?
I think there are grey areas and definitions vary between individuals. Best thing is to find something you understand and then use this to help others to find a definition for themselves too.
