Coaching tree 4.0 (With Top Coach HokieGreg)

Hi everyone!
Back by popular demand, the Coaching Tree 4.0.
Here is the link the last one, so you can kind of see what it's about.
Most of you know the concept by now, every participant gives out ~1 hour of coaching to 2 players playing lower stakes, and receives ~1 hour of coaching by a regular playing stakes higher than his (hers?).
HokieGreg has generously accepted to be top coach in this one, thanks again bud.
There is a lot of demand though so I would be interested in doing other trees. If anyone is interested in filling a top coach position and following the steps of Pistons, Hokiegreg, ITRIED2WARNU, PrimordialAA, Croix.... I (and 15 players getting 1h free coaching for every hour a top coach donates) would be very grateful.
This tree is going to look like :
HokieGreg
(1 reg ~220$)
(2 regs 55$-110$)
(4 regs 22$-33$)
(8 players in the micro stakes)
A few points I want to stress :
Participants should have the desire to complete the assigned sessions within 2 weeks.
It's just a number, but if I don't give one, too many people will procrastinate, and some may even give up on their coaching which is unfair to all the people I'll have to turn down. Also, I want to create a coaching tree on a regular basis (probably monthly), and I'd rather one be done with before creating another.
Participants should have a skype account, be generally reachable (within 48h is an idea of what consider reachable), and should immediately report any kind of problem to me so I may look for solutions.
I'm setting up the whole thing on skype to make things easier for me, and because that's what most of you will use for live sessions anyway.
I'll get in touch with every participant after 1 week for a reminder, and then after 2 weeks I'll reserve the right to assign new students from the waiting list to some people if their students have showed no desire to get their session done.
Once I compile all the applications and create the tree, I'll do my best to get it approved by all interested parties before making it official.
The actual coaching session can take various forms. Don't forget the idea of group sessions : 2 students with the same coach that have similar skill levels/sites/formats and can do a 2 hour session together with their coach (for example a live HH review on skype) instead of just one individually. More time, more discussion, more poker connections = profit!
If you are interested in being a part of this, act quickly! It's not exactly first come first serve, but obviously being slow won't help you and as you can see a lot of people are interested.
Send me a PM with the following information :
And anything extra that would make me pick you. I'm looking for motivated HUSNG specialists who are interested in bettering their game, making poker friends, helping people out, etc. Obviously there is no level requirement at the bottom of the tree, I'll give priority to students who wish to give HUSNGs a serious go though.
The name is just so I don't have to answer PMs with Hi, EATMYNUTS... city country is not mandatory of course, I just think it's cool if people who are from the same place are matched up. Of course, all the info you send me is strictly confidential, I won't be sharing your SNs or anything nasty like that.
Any questions, go ahead...
Many thanks again to Hokiegreg (and surprise top coaches that will pop up I'm sure so everyone can be a part of this
) for agreeing to be a part of this.
