I agree. The first sounds perfectly idiomatic, but the second doesn't .

Subject: I'm here to, vs I'm a coach to

Hello,
Could someone help me clear my head?
Do both the following two sentence sound natural to you , native speakers of
English?
To me sentence 2 sounds a bit odd.
I'm wondering why.

1. I'm here to tell you about rugby.
2. I'm a coach to tell you about rugby.

M.T.
