Feedback and Coaching Unlike deliberate practice, where the role of a coach is more formal and explicit, deliberate performance has the more realistic expectation that you will not have a coach. Instead, you try to make the most of the feedback you can get.

I don't think that expecation has about realism. Finding a coach is takes simply takes effort. Anyone can do it when they are willing to put in the effort.

I have friendships with people whom I help to figure out the blind spots in their own mental models. I accept those friends to return me the favor.

In case you make a decent money in your career, paying money for someone to coach you gives you a good return on your money. I would expect the utitlity to be much higher than money spend on having a more fancy house or car.
