Strictly speaking, the relationship between an athlete and a coach was not subordinate-superior, but rather quite cooperative. They both aimed for a common goal: to achieve better results through training. This is similar to the relationship between a doctor and a patient. In simple terms, they form a cooperative relationship comparable to that of soldiers fighting in the same trench against a common enemy (disease).
Unfortunately, the country’s system made the medical profession profit-driven, in which doctors no longer made a living with their medical knowledge, but by over-prescribing medication and examinations, and increasing the usage of medical devices. As a result, it complicated the relationship between doctors and patients. Instead of fighting in the same trench, they ended up on opposing sides of the battle.
