I think the Sajam Slam tournaments helped cut out the stigma of coaching being a scam. Especially with the coaches that were involved in the slam. Ain't nothing wrong with doing paid coaching sessions that could potentally go on YT if the payee is ok with it and if not then just do it as a private session. Im a FGC scrub and have found like 1 series that fit the way I need to learn even though there is a bunch of beginner guides out there not all of them fit me.
I don't think it's only people who need the monetary motivation, some people also need that kind of guidance. I definitely have experience with people who get in their own way when it comes to learning something, and needing to be there to guide them until they get it.
I haven't paid for it but I could see investing when you feel you've hit a wall. I can watch a video an anti airs but it can be different to hear someone say 'your main issue right now is you can't anti air, so you're not even getting to the ground game'. Probably an overly simplistic example but I can see it for those who feel they've hit a roadblock and don't know where to focus. I also have never had a personal trainer but I did cross fit for a while and the personal hype up guy that our coach was for all of us was super motivating for sure, so I can see why that helps too. As for anything complex, there are different points in the journey where any given person might benefit from a voice or more so eyes outside of their own paying attention to them specifically.
Hey Brian, love the concept and you're getting some of my favorite players on the pod. However I think it would benefit from you letting them speak more, one trick I picked up doing interviews is to let the pauses rock, when they stop talking if you just nod and "uhuh" at people they understand you expect more from them and they come up with more to say. These pauses are also time for them to think, can't expect everyone to have all information immediately ready to go. I understand quiet moments can be feel stressful/awkward, they are however, IMO, necessary. Keep up the good work my man.
