As soon as I get my Rollbar figured out I will need or want a coach on the track.
Do you have a link for the HOD?
As you get more into, you will see everyone has a different idea of what right looks like. As mentioned already, look at their lap times and compare them with other to get an idea on their credit level. I've been competing for about 20years across several platforms and several venues. You will get a lot of advice and take them as a starting point to find out what works for you and gives you the feel YOU like.

The HOD folks are a good bunch of folks and a great start to get you going.

As for the certificate, if he had a cert with speed listed on it, he is probably doing the half mile top speed events or the even longer top speed events. That is a different setup and in that case, I can see some credence to his pressure recommendation because they are concerned about rolling resistance and therefore want higher pressures. They are going in a straight line and completely different management style. A typical road course track day does not result in a certificate with a top end speed listed on it.
