Coaching skillset and a player skillset are two completely different things, most pro athletes cant coach to save themselves if they needed to, same way the best coaches in the world are usually bad/average players at best

A lot of the fundamental skills used in coaching are the same; analysis of forms, skills, ability to create regimes, achievable goals, etc. If you can't see the parralels, fair enough; I'm not too worried. I know, as do many others, that alot of coaching skills are transferrable between sports.

EDIT: Double ninja'd. Ouch.

As much as this'd be awesome, my knee is wrecked and I haven't played in a long time.

You're confusing coaching with trading wins.

Bumping this post around, for some reason Nirvana felt it would be a smart thing to bury my post in this thread. Hooray.

Bumping again, already have a few students: even if you're tenative, give me a yell. I'll grab a hold of you, do a quick introduction and see if coaching would be good (for you).
