team

Do you need to have
A coach ?
A mentor ?
A sponsor ?

The guy on the sideline at the game who calls the timeout. He knows the player. He supervises training. He formulates winning strategy.
He can pull a player from the game.
In boxing this guy may whisper something in your ear after the bell in between rounds when you took a heavy beating.

The older guy is your mentor.
He's seen a lot. He is wise. He'll give you an instruction that you may not fully understand at the time. But if / when you take his advise you avoid much pain.

The sponsor may be a boss, he signs your paycheck. Or an agent he get you gigs or contracts. This guy sees to it that you have consistent pay days. He could be a politician, or a lawyer he may even be a pastor !!
