Exactly. In sport we respect coaches for their particular skills. But somehow teachers get joked about.

Sure we respect coaches, but we also still in every sport pay them significantly less than the pros they ostensibly lead. I personally value both coaches and teachers but it's very clear that we as a people have decided that ability to do is more valuable than the ability to teach others.
