My take is that there’s such variance in people’s skill levels and so it’s really hard to cater educational programming content. Personally, I’ve found getting introductory books/courses and skimming through it until you hit something that you don’t understand and then diving deeper into that bit.

It is interesting, though, that you can easily get intermediate training and coaching in basically any sport. But the thing you do for money? Take this very ad-hoc approach.

People age out of being competitive athletes themselves and coaching is a natural way to stay involved with the sport.

Old coders who love coding don't have to do so indirectly.

I’m sure you can find individual coaches but the cost will exceed what most people are willing to spend or invest. Take executive coaches for example, they exist but from what I understand they’re largely private coaching and cost $$$.

Concepts and excercises in sport don't change that frequently comparing to programming. Programming is very ad-hoc indeed, it has way more variables for the intermediate level so that the coach won't have enough time to digest the details.
