Re: Coaching WARNING
[ QUOTE ]
But I want a coach that isn't taking on as many students as they can fit in but one who realizes that coaching takes more than just sweating a session in terms of prep.
Look he bought it - opened the wrapper - ate half. But just because half the candy is left, doesn't mean the remaining half is worth half of what he paid. The wrapper is used (planning) and the opportunity cost of selling the full bar to someone else has been wasted.
In fact, the meat of his knowledge may be revealed in the first two lessons and the next 3 are worth marginally less anyway.
I still maintain that an individual lesson would cost more per lesson than if you buy a package of 5. Then throw in the opportunity cost of losing out on signing another long term (5 session) student, etc.
Thinks are cheaper when bought in bulk. You can't buy a value pack and then return the unused portion for the cost of the individual sale price and it certainly does NOT apply when we're talking about intellectual capital, or service that require preparation and a committment of services that come with an opportunity cost.

In regards to the planning aspect of coaching in general, I have one quote from me "session" last night.
snowbank1515 (12:51:26 AM): and other hands figure out the BEST possible move
snowbank1515 (12:51:33 AM): thinking deep about them helps your game overall
snowbank1515 (12:51:39 AM): save those hands for review after sessions
I AmBuddySchultz (12:51:41 AM): i constantly think about hands
snowbank1515 (12:51:47 AM): for next session save a ton of hands
snowbank1515 (12:51:50 AM): and we'll go over them
snowbank1515 (12:51:54 AM): i think thatd help a lot
snowbank1515 (12:52:02 AM): overall u seem to be playing pretty well
I AmBuddySchultz (12:52:03 AM): i have saved a few
snowbank1515 (12:52:09 AM): most decisions seem solid
snowbank1515 (12:52:22 AM): but sometimes u need to think a little beyond the thinking
snowbank1515 (12:52:26 AM): to outplay opponents
snowbank1515 (12:52:30 AM): but we'll work on that
snowbank1515 (12:52:42 AM): so for next session save me a bunch of hands and we'll focus on that
What I get out of this is... You are playing pretty well but we need to take it to the next level! Don't worry it's easy. What you need to do is save a lot of hands so I don't really have to prepare anything, and then I'll just sit down in AIM and pretend I'm focusing on what you're talking about and you'll pay me $150 for it! Whee.
