Coach is a jock bull villager in the Animal Crossing series. He first appeared in Animal Crossing: New Leaf and has appeared in all subsequent games. He is the only bull villager that is neither lazy nor cranky. His name refers to sports coaches, relating to his jock personality. His catchphrase "stubble" relates to the five o'clock shadow he has which is commonly called a stubble.

In New Horizons, Coach has the fitness hobby and will wear sporty shades and lift heavy dumbbells while exercising.

Characteristics[edit]

Appearance[edit]

Artwork of Coach from New Leaf.

Coach is a yellow bull with black hair, striped blue horns, and small black eyes. He has a gray muzzle with dark spots, giving the impression of facial hair.

Personality[edit]

Below is a brief description of the jock personality. For more information, click here.

As a jock villager, Coach is energetic and has an interest in physical fitness and activity. He often talks about exercise or sports and may brag about his physical fitness. While often friendly to the player, he may comment on their fitness. During conversations with other villagers, he generally gets along well with peppy villagers due to their similar hyper personalities and will also get along with smug villagers, while he may offend snooty villagers by critiquing their fitness and annoy cranky villagers with his hyper personality. In New Horizons, Coach goes to sleep at 12:30 AM and wakes up at 6:30 AM.
