"Typical coaching formats and methods you will be trained with:
Live sessions (The coach watches you playing. We rarely us this) "
Not talking about the typo, but the "we rarely use this" part. Live sessions has got to be more effective more than anything. It's just the way I learn best, getting lessons while performing the task as opposed to a more theoretical approach. So how rarely is "rarely"?
Short answer:
Live sweats is something we use very rarely, so translate that to:
Don't expect it at all, only when we believe it's needed
I will not sugar coat this in order to "convince" you. If you believe this is very important to you, then don't join.
One difficulty in our program is that we do things differently. We do things money-making way. Since we take the risk, we also make the rules.
This is prolly not you, but we have some people join and think they can continue doing it "their way", when exactly that has made them into the sucker they are (at the tables).
Anybody who wants to learn the way they wish, we will actually offer more course-style things in the future.
Longer answer:
It's super ineffective in most cases. You just have to believe me there and believe that my judgement of having done thousands of hours of coaching + actually getting results from people... well that i know a thing or two.
For a coach a live session is by far the easiest choice and least work for money.
Doesn't mean it's bad, but it's also the most expensive form of communicating knowledge/concepts. (compare this vs curriculum style, homework + live QnA that we do)
When you as a student pay by the hour, profitability is less of a concern for the coach, but when WE PAY, we have to make sure that it's profitable.
Keep in mind when i gave more live-sessions, it was for people who had a 100k contract, hardcore rules. We started out, i figured out what worked, had lots of room to experiment.
Today the same contract is 30k, so you get MORE value for like 1/5 of the price, but also i'm not going to be on your speed dial.
Last guy who had me on speed dial (could call me any time, demand sessions whenever he wanted) was Atvars. If you put in dedication and volume like him, u will have my number.
Oh btw, even with him we pretty much never did live sessions (maximum 5), because HE said that his time with me is too precious.
So don't believe me, believe our fastest finisher + somebody who makes in todays games regularly 20k+ each month.
