Yes, sorry. I did not mean to imply searching him out for instruction in technique.

If I may suggest that one may learn more than technique by watching a good coach.

...

Or not. There is a good deal to be said for communication skills that I clearly lack. To include detail description of exact moments in time. I think the very best coaches teach by example. And they make everything look EASY.

If you can break down each moment and give your class a FEEL for good timing... the rest is easy. In my humble opinion.

That you're striving to improve is a sign of a good coach!

More power to ya!
