So, I wonder...

[Paul Sharp]

I'm more of a coach than a teacher, (intentionally due to years as a part of SBG where we dove deep into the nuances of coaching v teaching), so my focus is on tailoring the instruction to each individual in that training session or course. I want folks to leave feeling as if the curriculum was built around them. Sometimes I achieve this, sometimes I don't.

So, honest question; I've run classes with 20+ people on the line or in the room. I didn't have an AI every time, was that a disservice to the trainees?

I'm also not a full time trainer type, I'm not depending on classes to pay my bills so I'm not marketing/promoting as if it's my job. If more than a handful of folks sign up for one of my classes it's a pleasant surprise not an intentional over booking. I want folks to walk away from a training session with me feeling they got more than they paid for, that they have material to continue to train on their own, understand performance points so they can self coach, and I genuinely hope that if/when I see them again they have taken the material to another level.

This sounds to me suspiciously like one of the two famed former Magpul guys. Probably Haley.

I've taken three classes with Haley and there was always an AI and we never shot close to 1k/day. I'd be suprised if we shot 1k in two days.

I took one class with Costa and he had no AI, but we didn't shoot that much either.

Neither of them seem to have an open enrollment classes going on right now, per their websites.

A friend of mine trained with both and they had crazy round counts in both. Plus they do lots of 3 day classes.

But it was the "one trick pony" line that made me think of Haley (sniping on rooftop thing). I guess we'll see.

Correct, I'm being a sarcastic asshole in my statement. Not shitting on you

Well, then please accept my apology. I keep telling myself to back out for a while, because I'm not grokking some things here anymore. I really, REALLY need to do that.

Under those conditions I'd punch out, save the ammo, demand a refund.

But I get what you are saying.

In the end I'd also like to know who we are talking about.

[Peally]

It's probably Tom.

[Luke]

I've looked up all the big name trainers I can think of and none of them have a 3 day class this weekend.

[Tom Givens]

It's probably Tom.

Which Tom? It sure ain't me.

[Peally]

Which Tom? It sure ain't me.

Tom Jones. Always thought he was a suspicious mofo.

[Luke]

Dude same here. He's given me free stuff, TWICE. I'm guessing the 3rd time he will mail me a ninja to ninja me, first two were to gain my trust and get me to the mail box where the future ninja will strike.
