About the Program

COACH stands for Creating Options and Conquering Hurdles. It’s a motivational program that allows you to accomplish your goals and create the personal life that you desire.

The COACH Program is a motivational program that assists students in accomplishing their academic, social, and personal goals. It is sponsored by the Counseling Center and supported by the Division of Undergraduate Education and School of Social Ecology. Its primary goal is to provide students who are stressed, unmotivated or worried about their grades or life in general with a personal coach. The role of the Life Coach is to assist students in their endeavor for ultimate success.

The Coaching process involves 3-steps:

1. Helping a student assess their needs.
2. Formulating an individual plan with specific steps, tasks and timelines.
3. Monitoring the student’s progress until they have reached their goal.
