Coaching what is it?

Sport coach, bench coach, strength coach, conditioning coach, skills coach, rehab coach and so on... What is the principle behind coaching athletes, is it different with each coaching group? Are there general rules and concepts? I find a ton of information on the how to apply techniques, tactics, rehab, performance programs, sports specific with some general thoughts, cues and ideas but no real meat and potatoes. What does coaching athletics mean to you?
