Teachers are always looking for ways to motivate and engage the students in their classroom. Previous research studies have explored how teachers can motivate and engage their students. A number of studies show how coaches can motivate their athletes but there has been very little research looking at how these two professions can work together to better one another. The purpose of this qualitative study is to investigate if there are strategies of motivation that teachers can gain from coaches. Through semi-structured interviews guided by an interview protocol eleven teacher-coaches were interviewed to see if and how they use their strategies of motivation from coaching in their classrooms. The results of this study produced six themes: 1. From the Playbook to the Textbook: What Teachers Can Learn From Coaches, 2. Constructing the Student- Teacher and Athlete-Coach Relationship: How to Build and Maintain a Relationship With Students and Athletes, 3. Developing the Whole Person is the Real Priority, 4. Leveraging Failures as Teaching and Coaching Tactics, 5. Letting Students/Athletes Take the Wheel- Increasing Autonomy in Lesson and Practice Plans, and 6. Where Coaching and Teaching Stray From One Another. For teachers looking to further motivate and engage their students, they should start by getting to know their students beyond the surface level in class. Invest time into their lives so the students know that they are cared for and respected. For future research, more research should be conducted on the relationship teacher-coaches have with their students and athletes. What kind of influence does this relationship have over the students/athletes.
