Coach showing proper attention (9)
I believe the answer is:
diligence
This clue could be a double definition.
'coach' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'proper attention' is the second definition.
'diligence' can be an answer for 'attention' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'proper' bit.
'showing' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for diligence that I've seen before include "needing proper care and attention" , "Industriousness" , "dedication" , "hard effort" , "Old stagecoach" .)
