Players and Coaches

Looking to the wisdom of this forum on this one...

I had a conversation with my 12 yo son yesterday in which he was apprehensive about logging extra time with a pitching coach at our facility because he "didn't like the coach".

I tried to explain to him he's not going to get to pick his coaches and/or teachers, bosses, etc. in life and needs to learn to deal with people he doesn't like or see eye to eye with.

I tried to explain he needs to not take those types of relationships personally and use the opportunities to absorb and learn while not getting caught up in the personality or demeanor of the other person.

However, I'm not sure I covered all the possible angles with this. Does anyone have any pointers on how to get him over this "fear" of coaches that aren't his dad?
