What is difference in terms?

I’ve noticed an unfortunate, evermore common, expression being used by the more ignorant and football-terminology challenged posters on this board. They talk about improving a player by…
“…coaching them up…”
I’m not sure if there is such a thing as “…coaching them down…” or ”coaching them sideways…”, but I was wondering just what the difference between that mystifying phrase and simply…
“coaching them”…
I mean you don’t talk about professors “teaching them up,” or DIs in military “training them up.” So I suspect the people who use that redundant expression are just trying to sound football-knowledgeable. Well, no…it isn’t…
Thank you, and I hope all of you have done been learned up…

Not everyone has a roster of five star players.

Which raises another question... is a 3-star (out of high school) player in his senior year after being "coached up" for four years better than a 5-star freshman?

At most positions for sure if the kid developed.
I believe over 3/4s of the starting NFL QBs were 3 star or lower

There are plenty of five stars who need coaching to achieve their potential.

That’s a whole lot of words that you used when you could have just said “I’ve never played organized sports in my life”.

Per Pat Summit, I am willing to help but I cannot start your engine, that's on you. Clear?
If you've got what it takes, it WILL take all you've got. Word.

I can name a number of 5 stars beaten by guys that were determined and just plain nasty in a sport that demands the absolute very best when there is nothing left in the tank.

Did you have what it took Jacknola? Did you start your engine and give it your all?
