The Irrelevant Coaching

Hello. I just got a wonderful book, "The 4-Hour Work Week", by Timothy Ferriss. Very early in the book he brought up a story which still pains me 18 months later.
Dale Begg-Smith, a Canadian, was very successful as a teenage businessman, so much so that he had a Lamborghini. He was also arguably the best male moguls skier in the world. However, his coaches didn't like the fact Begg-Smith was missing some practices. As a result, they basically told him to come out more or leave.
Begg-Smith went to Australia, became a citizen, and won the 2006 Olympic gold medal for them instead of Canada. When asked why he did it, Begg-Smith took the high road, and said he couldn't meet the Canadian training schedule.
What do I think? Find out tomorrow.
