This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl".

A coach can symbolize leadership or authority. Your “inner coach” is the coach-like part of you. It teaches. It leads. It encourages. It decides. It strategies and analyzes. It knows strengths and weaknesses. Your dreams are like a life coach, and this innate wisdom can personify as characters such as coaches. Dreams give advice and perspective that lead to improvements in any area of life, not just athletics, and your “dream coach” is an obvious choice to deliver the coaching that helps you improve. The sport coached might in some way be compared to another area of life. For example, a soccer coach can teach you how to get ahead of the competition, because in soccer the players gain advantage by getting ahead of other players. You can dream about yourself in the role of a coach if you lead a group of people, formally or informally, such as when leading a project at school or work. Being coached, on the other hand, can connect with a situation where you’re part of a group or project. Coaches are closely associated with teams. Coaches are associated with athletics, and that idea branches out to include anything associated with competition, practice, effort, discipline, recognition or accomplishment. If you’re involved in a sport, a coach in your dream can relate to that sport. A specific coach in your dream might symbolize something you associate with that person. Some coaches are known as motivators, some as tacticians, some as disciplinarians, and some as beloved elders. Something about the person resonates with you, and that association is used by the dream to say something about you and your life. The coach in your dream can be one who actually coached you in a sport. In which case your knowledge of, and experiences with, the person raises many possibilities for symbolism. Or the coach can be one you know by association; for example, the coach of your favorite professional sports team. For example, a young man has recurring dreams about college basketball coach Bob Huggins. As a student at a university where Huggins coached, he had a lot of exposure to Huggins. In his dreams, he’s on the basketball team and Huggins mostly plays the role of observer and figurehead that the dreamer hopes to please with good performance. The dreamer associates Huggins with hard-nosed discipline, so when he’s working hard and being disciplined, he dreams about pleasing Huggins with good performance.
