We could all use a little coaching.
When you're playing the game, it's hard to think of everything. -- Jim Rohn.
Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives. -- William A. Foster.
Preparing to tackle an important or complicated subject always involves some reading.
