You have a good professor.  Hope I can get to know you and him more.  It is a good spirit that you are learning.  Keep it up.  Such attitude will reward you for your whole life.

Also, to find a good coach is not an easy thing for an athlete.  Most of the time, it was the coach who find the athlete, and train them. You can barely demand for a good coach, unless you are Micheal Jordan or Shaq.  However, you can also help your coach to be a better one.  Just like in your work place.  Communication, and figuring out a way for mutual success will be important.  It is the reason why I usually enjoy to hire a success student athlete.  Unfortunately, I don't get to see them as often any more.
