Coaching is a new feature added in the March 18, 2011 Patch for the Team Fortress 2 Beta. Coaching gives the ability for a player to call (by pressing the whistle icon in the Escape menu) for a volunteer to help them in the battlefield. You can volunteer by pressing the headset button on the main menu, once pressed you will be in a queue to be matched with a "student". Once the game has found you a "student" it will ask if you would like to coach them, upon pressing "Yes" you will join the server the "student" is in and will commence Coaching.

Commands

What the coach sees once issued the attack command.

When the coach uses MOUSE1 by default on something a trumpet will sound and a arrow and text will say attack here/him/this depending on what you clicked, this is visible to the coach and the "student" only. MOUSE2 by default works the same as MOUSE1 but instead of attack here/him/this it will be defend here/him/this again depending on what you clicked this is followed by some drums. This works the same with all the commands. 1 by default is Go Here witch plays a whistle sound and 2 by default is look here witch plays the sound of a human whistle. If you click on a moving object or person the note will follow them in 3D space.

The outline the coach sees around a healthy "student".

View

The Coach has the choice of a first person, a third person or a free camera view. His "Student" will glow much like the Payload carts. The color of the glow will change depending on the student's health, green indicating the student is healthy and red indicating they are near death.
