I chose my (gen pop) coach pretty spontaneously and was very lucky to land a great one. What being with him for almost 2 years taught me is that personal repore is one the most important factors for me. There's many people who know their stuff, but to be able to hand over the reigns, I have to trust and respect my coach as a person as well as a professional. I know I'm demotivated by being yelled at. Others might need exactly that. Communicating those things clearly and finding a good personality-fit is just as important as finding someone with the required knowledge.
