Going to begin coaching
 

With my recent failure at the AVCon tournament in Adelaide, I've decided to dedicate myself a lot more to sc2 in order to get my skill level to where I want it to be. I'd like to do well at ACLs in the future, and see how long I can play as a semi-pro or perhaps even pro player in the future. But to do this, I need to be able to support myself. So, I'm thinking of starting paid coaching services.

I'll do free coaching for a week or two, depending on how many are wanting it. It'll be to train myself up as a coach and better prepare myself for paid coaching if I eventually decide to do so. If you're wanting free coaching, PM me here on sc2sea or add me on skype at Cubetastic.

I've done a lot of free coaching in the past, but I feel like I need more practice to get myself good enough right now. Its a completely different skill than playing the game, although higher level theory does help.

Beyond that, I'm wondering what people would be interested in pricing-wise but also what people recommend for structuring coaching sessions. I think $10-15 an hour is appropriate, not entirely sure which is better to begin with.

As for the structure, I think the PiG method works well. This being watching replays to find general mistakes, then spending the rest of the time vsing players to fix the mistakes as well as find more. During the games no coaching given however, as I don't know anyone who plays better while theres someone nagging them what to do. Just ruins the rhythm. It'd probably be more up to the individual though.
