Coaching fees aside, coaches can only work with a limited number of athletes at one time because there are only a certain number of hours in a day. Over the years, I have been privileged enough to participate on various teams and work with many coaches, so I think it is fair to say that I have learned what to expect from a coach. As a coach myself that often works with beginners, I find that many people don’t understand what a privilege it is to work with a good coach. It is truly wonderful to find someone that is willing to take the time to teach others what it has often taken them years to learn.
