Are You Coachable?! (The Do's and Don'ts for Getting the Most Out of Your Coaching)

In our 20 years of working with athletes, we always notice that some athletes get more out of their coaching than others. It's not usually about which athlete has the most time to train or the most talent. Instead, there's a variety of attributes that combine to make an athlete coachable–and the more an athlete is coachable, the more time a coach has to dedicate to the most important aspects of making the athlete faster.    So what does it take to be coachable?
