At the pinnacle of his career, while he ruled the world, Michael Jordan had a coach.
You know who also has coaches guiding their performances? Beyonce, U2, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Coldplay, Bruno Mars…the biggest acts in the world have a coach (a show director) or two helping them. Constantly improving and refining. And not just improving and refining the production and lights but the actual physical performance, delivery, and the artists’ presence and spirit.
