What is our personal greatest accomplishment as a Pool Instructor? An example being you were the Teacher, or Coach to what GREAT PLAYER who is still active in the Pool in year 2011? Or ??:smile:
Question for all the Instructor on AZB
- Thread starter CocoboloCowboy
- Start date
The amount of replies tell a story I think I know the ending of? I do know Jerry Brieseth who winters near me has, & is coaching a couple of TOP WOMEN PROS. Do not believe he post on this forum.

I know of a few master and advanced level instructors who have worked with touring pros.
Why does your greatest accomplishment require working with a great player? Don't you think working with beginning and intermediate players can bring a lot of gratifcation to an instructor?
I spent 30 years as a professional educator, I have never had the chance to pick and choose whom I wanted to teach.

I think I would personally just my accomplishment as a Teacher or Instructor if I was a Teacher, or Instructor. By the accomplishment of those who I taught. I also understand many student do not practice, or put effort into the material they are taught.
But the GREAT MATH TEACHER out of Garfield High School, East Los Angeles, California., Jaime Escalante did not have a lot to work with when he taught Advanced Math, but his teaching methods motivate, and taught his student well. His story was chronicled in the move "Stand and Deliver ".
I met this Escalante while on a photo assignment in Sacramento, where he had move to teach after leaving East LA because Sacramento Unified School district made him n offer he could not refuse.
He IMHO Escalante was a teacher, who left a legacy of successful students, because of those student being lucky enough to have been taught & influenced by Escalante.
Bruce...Quit being a nit and asking stupid questions that have no relevance to anyone but you. I don't have to (and the word is JUSTIFY) make up any stories. People choose to work with me because of my success with others. That in itself is enough for me...I certainly don't need grandstanding to pump myself up. You're a sad individual to even start this thread. Oh, and btw, Jerry doesn't even use a computer much...and he wouldn't post to this thread if he did.

I think is tells a story about the relevance of the question to the readers of this forum and the instructors who are helping them.

Well...we could go around bragging about who we've taught or we could just get on with it the way Escalante did. I like his style and prefer to just get on with it. Ask me again in 20 years after I've retired.
Scott IMHO you are the NIT. Not answer the question, but instead call me names!
BTW I attended one of your clinics one year for about 30 minutes at the BCAPL 8 Ball thing at the Riveria. Yes it was a FREE CLINIC. You went on and on about the STOP SHOT, and Hole Reinforcer (white sticky donuts) used as a teaching AIDS to learn the Stop Shot.
Bored me to tears, so I got up and left without say a word, others too got up and left before me.
BTW IMHO Jerry's Basic DVD is like a 4 Star Value under $20.00, in Pool Instructional, and if you can master 95% of that DVD DVD IMHO you will be playing better than 95% of the other players. IMHO
BTW Scott have you ever had a Nation Champion, or Pro Player as your student. OH yes Jerry does use the computer, as he has his own web-site, and answers e-mail.

Maybe you should have stayed for 25 minutes. Likely you missed the most important part.
...........
Trust me if that is an example of what you get from Scott in a day class, I am better off with my instructional DVD's, and time invested at the Pool Room. Great teachers make the student hungry for more information with an exciting presentation Scott got an "F" for exciting presentation. Unexciting is boring. JMHO.
I also love this NON PC Teaching Methoid. OOHRAH

Oh now I see you edited your post, so what was it Coco twenty minutes or 30 minutes.
It would be fun seeing you testify on a stand.

See how bored I was I can not recall how long Scoot bored me, so I gave you a better guess.
Don't recall what I was wearing, or what place I stayed, or the day of the week or time of day of the clinic that year. Could have been three or four years ago, as we don't do Las Vegas no more.:smile:
But I do recall I was bored by Scott. I also recall there was a guy at the Predator Booth doing a Clinic on Breaking & Jumping.
He was Dress in Camo/Military Pants & a Black Predator Logo Shirt, and he was a GREAT ENTERTAINER, and TEACHER. Learn a thing or two from him, and I believe he said he was from the state of FL.
Now go think of something else clever to say.:smile:
Bruce...It's easy to see why you were bored. Frequently people get bored quickly with things they don't understand. The ones that care to learn something that they don't really understand actually ask questions (which is what those "free clinics" are all about), instead of running away! Next time you see Jerry (if you actually do know him), ask him what he thinks of my teaching. You might be completely surprised. I agree that the BCA dvd, "How to Play Pool Right", by Jerrry Briesath, is an excellent teaching tool.
As for who I have taught?...why does it matter to you? You will never take a lesson from anyone...because you can't justify spending the money to yourself...just like you can't justify playing in leagues, or tournaments, or gambling. Everyone in Phoenix knows you've been playing pool for 50+ years, have read all the books, and seen all the videos, and you're still a C or D player. That speaks volumes...

You asked the same question a year ago. Weren't you satisfied with the responses then, or are you simply stirring the pot again for some personal grudge you have against the instructors here?
