........Why does he have to be fast to understand the theory and possess the communications skills to get that across? I don't remember seeing Tiger Wood's coach winning any majors recently!

Ahhh...so you'll subscribe to the school of thought that allows "textbook engineers" to come out of university with a degree, call themselves engineers and then have the real engineers pick up the pieces behind them?
It's a bit like IT bods with MCSEs thinking they know it all. |
You plonker! As someone who has had two MCSE's (NT4.0 and Win2k) I can certainly tell you when I'm hiring people I look for experience and initiative, not 'industry certification'! Having an MCSE just means a recruiter will put your name forward for a role where he wouldn't if you didn't have it. That's the only benefit!

You might not believe it, and I know there are people on this thread who don't ... but I honestly believe I can make you faster.

| To bring Tiger Woods into it is missing the point entirely. He already has an inate ability that cannot be taught - merely harnessed, re-directed etc. We're talking about ordinary mortals instead. |
But it is relevant - it explains the coach/student relationship and that the coach themselves don't necessarily need to be high achievers themselves to be able to help the student become that. If that makes sense ....
Too many posts in this thread to keep up!
One more post to come ...
