coached
- 1Simple past and past participle of coach.
The retired athlete coached several national champions during her career.
Every new hire was coached through the onboarding process by a mentor.
Note
One past form carries two families of meaning. Usually it is the trainer's word. It takes an object (she coached the team) or stands alone (he coached for years), and a student who studied under a tutor has coached too. The other family belongs to the vehicle: travelers coached between towns, or coached it, and passengers were coached to their inns. Context, not form, tells the two apart.
