I wasted a lot of time making mistakes and learning the hard way. In the grand scheme of things, a few grand over time to a good coach, who knows what he's doing, is pretty cheap. But the 17 year old me, the 20 year old me, the 25 year old me, thought he knew everything there was to know. And looking back, I didn't know shit.

And in the OP's position, he'd gain a lot more from that than he would doing a cycle of gear.
