A short conversational piece (YouTube) in which Andy Neary argues that people often stop using coaches or mentors once things improve, but that is a mistake; he compares this to stopping medication when feeling better and uses top athletes (e.g., Kobe Bryant) as examples of continuing coaching even at high performance. The tone is advisory and anecdotal.

People wait until their back is against the wall to seek a coach or a mentor where there's nothing wrong with that. However, it's when things get going and things are good again, they don't think they need them anymore. And that's where they make the mistake. I'd say no different.
Than someone that takes medication. They think they're feeling better, they stop taking it, and then they're 5150 again.
Exactly. Think of the best athletes in sports today. Do you think they stopped working with a coach because they're playing well now? Kobe Bryant.
