There is a theory about this.
The best coaches are not the guys that find something easy / simple. They guys are normally in the top 1% of a sport or other skill (thinking academically also) . The best guys to learn from are the ones that had to fight to be in the top 2-5%. They had to develop a deeper understanding of the subject just to compete.
If you look at sports, they guys that have had the best playing careers make crap coaches and managers. But guys that played 3rd or even 4th tier have stormed it. Even in BJJ and MMA I think it was Eddie Bravo that said “every one wants to get trained by the champion. Why? I want to get trained by the guy that trained the champ.”
