A. What Jim said.
B. Further to Matt's point, anecdotally: I now coach a sport I've played for thirty years, and just last night was discussing with other senior players the challenge of coaching gifted young athletes. It can be easier to coach someone who's not been handed such gifts, because star players can just rely on what's got them there and not recognize the need to improve their game. This is an old refrain in my sports experience.
Cheers,
John
