I finally got a coaching session with Scott Lee last night, and I can only say I wish I'd done it sooner. I've known Scott for years, talking with him whenever we run into each other at pool halls in Chicago (he's here a lot), and have always admired his practical teaching philosophy based in solid knowledge and experience, so I've always thought it "couldn't hurt" to take a lesson with him.
Now that I've had the "Scott Lee experience" I understand what's been missing from our casual conversations. When Scott is "on", it's something to behold - he's a fast-moving, fast-talking bundle of pool-focused energy, dispensing rapid-fire insights and really cool simple, practical techniques for self-monitoring, practice and improvement that really impressed me and I think will really help me (and I'm pretty picky about what I'll try). His frame-by-frame video analysis of my stance and stroke (he actually draws on the screen right over the image to illustrate his points) was worth the price of admission by itself, but the added value of his down-to-earth, effective techniques are real icing on the cake.
We worked exclusively on stance and stroke (my choice), and I think I already have *pretty* good fundamentals, but Scott clearly has enough to teach me about that to satisfy my thirst for improvement. We had to cut the session short because of logistical delays getting started, but I'll catch the rest of it next time Scott's in town. I'll be looking forward to it, Scott, and recommending it to others.

Sorry we had to quit early. I really would have liked to at least go over the book with you. However, you need to do that right away, and begin your new 'process'. The book gives the details and schedule on how to best go about that. Remember to call me with any questions, and I can walk you through it at the table. See you in a couple of weeks!
