If your example was correct, the teacher wouldn't even be needed, the students could just learn directly from the text book. A good teacher can certainly inspire students to be more engaged with the material and thus enhance their learning and performance.
Anyways, I don't want to make this about GG because I think he deserves a bit of a break from the criticism. But this notion that the coach has no motivational responsibilities is false. There is a reason people value coaches/managers/mentors/teachers/leaders and companies pay big bucks to improve that in their organizations.

Right.
Except in this case, motivation comes (or doesn't) from within the room - peer to peer.
