Here is an anology based on sports. Professional and Olympic atheletes have long recognized that having a 1 -on- 1 personal coach can help them reach the top of their game faster and stay there longer than they can be on their own. For example, Michael Jordan was kicked off his high school basketball team because the coach thought he didn't have any talent. Throughout his first years in the NBA, Michael was a good player, but it wasn't until he came under the guiding light of a personal coach that Michael Jordan came into his own and became the greatest basketball player of all time. The moral here is that even a Michael Jordan needs a personal coach.

Golfing phenomenon, Tiger Woods, attributes much of his current success to the regular work he does with his personal coach.
