b. the similarities of the work environment.
c. the challenge of meeting.
d. the conflicting demands of the two positions.
e. the values and desires of each position

Answer 1

Answer: The conflicting demands of the two positions.

Explanation: Although similar in work activity, which is to pass knowledge across to a learner, teaching and coaching have some key differences.

The teacher is not very obliged to ensuring the success of each student, but is satisfied if a large percent succeeds out of the total number of students.

While a coach is more patient in his approach, nurturing his student step by step, the coach is very interested in the success of each student and is not satisfied if even a single student fails.

Therefore there is a role clash if the responsibilities of a teacher and a coach is closely observed.
