2. Push your limits
Most probably your are training too much and too hard. This is one of the most common findings when analysing self-trained athletes. If your coach is good he will know when to push and when to take it easy.
3. Mix-up
If you train yourself or use any training plan from a book/newspaper. You might be bored of doing the same thing all the time. This is where a coach can come in and mix things a little without losing the big picture.

5. Transfer Knowledge and Experience
When working with a coach you think you are getting plans, working sessions, feedback, technique tips etc. What you probably don’t realise is that your coach is a person who knows how to get to where you want to go. Therefore what you are really getting is knowledge and experience.
6. Become a Friend
You and your coach are committed into the same goal. This will bring you together and more often than not will create a friendship that will last for years.
