Listening to the coach

In the beginning of our project semester we were told that this is OUR project and if we don't want to take people's advice on how to go about doing it, that we didn't have to. In class yesterday we read an article about Olympic athletes and how they listen to their coaches, even with their years and years of training, they still take tips. The article asked, what about you? I guess personally I can say that I don't shoot down very many ideas before considering how they may help me. It is important to listen to people trying to help you because they can give you advice for something that you were never creative enough to come up with yourself. I agree with the article and think you should never be so set on your own goals that you can't steer away from them when given helpful advice by the "coach".
