The joy of learning...and teaching!

Scott,

very nice Thread- those are the things that puts a smile on an "instructors face". Teachin and instructing have to be a passion in my opinion and you have to love it.

I told you already once-but here again. Especially you, Randy and Steve influenced me so much, just by answering me some PM s and Mails. Even so just reading some Postings here on AZ after i found my way back to Billiards again after that long break of 10 years. It took about reading 2-3 hours here thru postings of you SPF guys and i thought: "Man, what did you miss in the last 10 years...you were so stupid, LOL!"

If you have the passion and the charisma to make ppl listen, there will be for sure comments like you received (like in the openin posting)-and that pays you for sure so much back.

And it s often more worth then any single buck!

Keep impressin your students Scott- and you ll receive tons of nicely comments like this :-)

lg from overseas,

Ingo
 
DennyS...It sure is why we do this, isn't it? I've had the opportunity to speak with many teachers (including my own wife), and it's the students we really "reach" that stand out to us, over the long haul. This is true in teaching anything...not just pool. :D

Gotta agree with you my friend! I think that is why I've been doing it now for all these years! To all the Instructors and coaches out there keep up the good work and the smiles that it brings will be enough of a reward to cherish you a lifetime. Thanks Scott for the post!

Thanks for the kind words Gail! I had a blast working with you too! You'll be impressed that I have now downloaded the 'car locator' app to my phone, so as to not have a repeat of that day! LMAO :thumbup:

Hi Everyone!

Scott, I'm sorry it took me so long to see this post as you requested at our lesson. Time just flies by so fast it seems.

After taking a lesson with Scott, I can verify that he truly loves what he does and I'm so thankful I had the opportunity to work with him. (Thanks Tony!)

Scott uses a very precise method of breaking down a player's own individual style and pinpointing potential areas of weakness. He wasn't pushy or demanding to change anything, he simply highlighted fundamentals in my game that could potentially breakdown if a pressure moment presented itself. I'm so much more aware of all the moving parts from stance, to bridge, elbow and grip (or cradle as he calls it.) And since Tony watched the lesson, he knows to look for these weaknesses and point them out to me when they come up. It was a great lesson for me as a player and for Tony as my coach.

If you have the opportunity to work with Scott, I HIGHLY recommend it. Money very well spent.

As for Tony requesting the lesson. Tony and I get along great when he teaches me things, we just never seem to make time for it. If we both have free time, we usually opt for a bike ride, a walk in the park, movie, etc rather than him giving me a lesson. :embarrassed2: Tony believes that instruction from anyone qualified could only be a benefit, regardless if it's him giving it, or another teacher. Scott coming into town was a perfect opportunity for him to get another coach's opinion on things to improve in my game. It really was a great, great lesson!

And Fran & Frank, thanks for your kind words. :D You're both so sweet!

Back to the origin of the thread. Scott's instruction has helped me spear in many a shots of the past couple of years. Without a stroke, you will never have a chance at truly enjoying any billiard game.
