[RC] Natural coaches. - Winter, Randy or CherylIn athletics, many times the people with the best aptitude to teach don't have the physical ability or the luck to have been at the top of the sport. But that doesn't diminish their abilities as a coach, teach or advise. Most of the best coaches in sports are not the guys that were the best or even good players in thier sport. Very few great athletes make good coaches or teachers. Truman That is an interesting comment Truman. I had a dressage instucter years ago that said when she was learning she did not have the same natural ability that some people innately have that makes them such naturals, and maybe they do not even know why themselves. Just that special talent they are born with. But this instructer made it to the upped levels and did well. She felt that that helped her be able to teach people better herself, because she understood how to relate to her students to position or do what one needed to relay the correct signal most efficiently to the horse. I think she also listened closer to what her students asked to better understand what they needed from her. Sometimes when someone is so naturally gifted or talented at something it is hard for them to relate to other people what it is they feel or do that make them good because it just happens for them. I have always felt that a great many people can achieve many things, run a marathon, play baseball, basketball, etc. but not every one can be Frank Shorter, Michael Jackson, Randy Johnson ( who just pitched a perfect game). These people were born with an innate talent that they recognized, and then developed.
