If you had only left out "good" & "qualified"!
To answer the question though; I think there are 3 characteristics of a great coach: 1: A superior ability to observe & analyze. 2: An exeptional ability to communicate. 3: A genuine ability to listen. Note one does not have to have exraordinary ability to personally succeed at the subject to be a great teacher. There are many great coaches with limited playing skills as there are many great players that cannot teach.

I don't think I qualify yet, I need to improve my own riding as well as my ability to analyze the riding of those around me before I would be ready.
I also need to figure out how to ride a bike that has a motor larger than 298CC but rest assured I'll be trying out for a future year

Idk, listening is the easy part for me
it's understanding what you're listening to and being able to determine how to help the rider based off of what they're describing that's the hardest part for me

I look forward to hearing all about your try out! Are there other qualities that make a good coach? What do you think takes someone from being a "good" coach to an "exceptional" coach?

^ That certainly helps a good bit
the three characteristics mentioned are all good I'll add another that feeds in well with the 14 years. An ability to constantly adapt, grow, re-examine, and refine your own riding. The more you learn and adapt, the more you are able to teach. This includes both the techniques and the mindsets behind them to provide true understanding of why we do what we do while we are riding motorcycles on and off the racetrack

My fourth point but not necessarily in that order: commitment and desire to be the best you can be.
