As a coach, I often emphasize the importance of athletes hiring a professional in regards to coaching. But I hate to be hypocritical and make it seem that you NEED a coach. At the best, I will only make the argument that you likely WANT a coach.

Competing will always build confidence in competing, no matter how peaked you are

Think of it as building a “relationship” with the movements. No range of motion or movement pattern is ever going to “love” you if you never come around. And if you hate a movement, well, learn to “love” it.

Stop worrying about getting it all right on the first step and just make the step.

“Make a decision to be better in spite of obstacles, no matter what, and pain and suffering will never be wasted in becoming a better self.”
