The phrase "giving 110 percent" is used metaphorically. If you do all that you are capable of doing, you can be said to be giving 100%, since 100% means the whole thing (whatever thing we may be talking about). It is not possible to give more than everything. You cannot give 110%. You can, however, strive with desperate and fanatical determination to exceed your limitations. It's what your coach wants you to do. Coaches are very demanding - but that's their job.
