Now, I can see why some aristocrat might find coaching distasteful. People born on top always want for everyone else to just stay in their places. One way to do it is to make fun of people who try too hard and ban any edge that might help them to compete.

But the old aristocracy is dead. Now everybody thinks it’s good to try. Everybody competes. And the people who take their coaching most seriously? The aristocrats.
