the.com/coach

Someone who never plays the game yet somehow wins or loses every one.

means A person who trains and directs an athlete or team (or, more broadly, anyone who mentors and instructs); also, a passenger vehicle or carriage.

from From Kocs, a Hungarian town famous for building fine horse-drawn carriages — the vehicle took the town's name. English borrowed it via German and French as 'coach.' The mentoring sense is 19th-century university slang: a tutor was said to 'carry' a student through exams, just as a coach carries its passengers — so the trainer who hauls you to your goal became a coach too.
