My friend is considering competing in another show. The last one turned out well, but his coach had a very "do this and shut up" approach. He would answer my friends questions, but usually with short or vague answers. The guy knew his business, and my friend showed up in great condition, but he doesn't feel like he learned very much, as all of his "why" questions were usually answered quite unsatisfactorily.
After the show, my friend decided to hire a new, off season coach, so to speak. My friend was getting great results from the new coach who had a somewhat unique approach. However, this coach had the same type of "do this and shutup" attitude as the previous one.
My friend doesn't want to hire someone else for the contest prep, especially since he loves his current coach, but he is concerned that this prep will go similarly to the last one; excellent results, but with little learned in the process.
What would you guys do?
