Key Takeaways:

Coachable is defined as “being easily taught and trained to do something better.” If you ever had the chance to learn a sport or play a team sport, or maybe even coached someone yourself, you know that it takes physical skill and knowledge to play a sport.

These things are also required in aviation.
