I love FLL. But I've always been a little confused by the coach designation in that program. To me, there may be some coaching that happens in the course of mentoring, but they are different.

And FIRST then lumps the titles "Mentor/Coach" together for various purposes. Like they are interchangeable.

Anyway, I agree. They are not the same. Thanks for bringing this up!

I've got some input on mentoring, but would rather learn from others right now so will be following this thread closely.
