Same with a physical trainer, you'll be healthier in real life.

A gaming coach just make headshot go boom, which might help with self esteem? But, if your self esteem is that closely linked to a video game, that's just sad.

Edit: anyways, I think that's enough internet arguing for the day. Especially not looking to waste time arguing with a smooth brain who spent actual money water-cooling a mid range card.
There you go criticizing how other people spend the money that they work for, lets see your water loop/set up on your 2080ti. Water cooling is for aesthetics, there is very little to no performance benefits even on high end cards. This is further exemplified with a hard tubing loop. So saying 'hErP dErP you watEr CoOlEd a $400 CaRd" tells me you don't know shit.

Edge cases/specificity will likely not help you in the general world.

I.E paying for coaching trying to attain a 500lb back squat will likely not help you live a healthier life and there are no statistics to support that it will. Paying for coaching to hit a 300lb clean and jerk will not help you be healthier. Will paying for a trainer if you're a complete novice help you be healthier? Sure.

Spending money on coaching to cut tiny amounts of time off your driving will likely not help you become a better driver on the street. Will coaching help you be a better driver if you're a complete novice? Sure.

There are diminishing returns once you hit a certain point in any hobby, but people invest in it because they like that hobby you dunce.
