The Coaching Tree

A coaching tree is a way to visualize the mentoring relationships among coaches, typically in sports. It shows how a head coach trains or influences assistant coaches, who may go on to become head coaches themselves. This creates a "family" or "tree" structure, illustrating the spread of coaching philosophies, strategies, and leadership styles. Essentially, it highlights the mentorship lineage, revealing how successful approaches are passed down and evolved through different coaching generations.
