Coachable athletes are obedient athletes. Being obedient means a player not only listens to coach's instruction, but is willing to complete the responsibilities of his role in that instruction.

In an athlete, obedience breeds discipline, and discipline is a requirement for anyone hoping to reach their full potential. There are not a lot of paths to a player becoming his best.

Discipline makes a player trust worthy in the eyes of his coach, and that trustworthiness reboots the process from the beginning, motivating the coach to find new ways for his player to grow and succeed.

Sports-parents. The goal you should have for your student-athlete is for the sports experience to prepare them life. Most likely, working under a coach will be preparation for working under a boss someday. It's not hard to draw some parallels between the experience of being coached and a future on the job.
