a hero complex - coach v. strategist

It's always all or nothing. Black and white. In or out. One or another. What if the real hero was a combination? What if you can have your cake and eat it too? 
Consider that one approach alone is not all there is or all there should be. What is the purpose of coaching? What is the purpose of strategy? 
Why do we look to one over another. And why should we not? 
The whole is always greater than its parts, but it takes all of the parts to make an optimised whole.
