I’ve had quite a few queries about in-field coaching already this year, so I thought it’s about time I put together a proper coaching page. I dabbled in the dark art of coaching towards the end of last year, and I found the process quite enjoyable. And so, I will be available for coaching from March through til October/November this year.
I will be offering skype (I actually use Google Meet) and infield coaching throughout my usual daygame hot spots – Warsaw/Belgrade/Prague/Moscow/SPB. If you’re interested in either then send me a message using the contact form, or DM me on twitter.
Online Coaching
On the first call, I’ll grill you on your bonafides and give you an honest assessment of where I think you are vs where you should be. From then on, it’s up to you what we discuss. We can go through infields if you’ve recorded them, I can play you some of mine (most of them are old, but I can record some new ones if you really want). Or we can just have a chat.
£50 a call or £180 for 4 calls
N.b. 1 – I will either have my face blurred or my video will be off to protect my anonymity, but your camera will need to be on, I’ll need to see your face and your general demeanour to get a good handle on you. If we have more than one call and I trust you not to dox me, then I’ll switch it on and you can see my ugly mug in all it’s glory.
N.b. 2 – All payments must be made to my gmail account (using friends and family, otherwise paypal holds it and takes some of the money in the process) prior to the call.
Infield Coaching
Not everyone is up to the rigours of daygame, and I can usually tell pretty quickly if you’re suitable. So, prior to any infield coaching, I offer a free 30-minute consultation call. Contact me and I will send you my calendar so you can book a slot. We will have a quick chat on your background and then proceed to discuss the logistics.
N.b Once we have agreed on logistics and I need to travel to meet you, I will ask for a deposit upfront, and the rest will be payable when we meet up.
How it Will Work
If you’re not a total beginner, I will throw you into a few sets, listen and take notes. I’ll give you feedback after every set, and after the coaching is done, I will wrap up all my notes into one email and give you a plan of action going forward.
If you are a total beginner, I will do a few sets first and quiz you on what you think I did well, and what wasn’t good (I am not perfect either). Once you’ve grasped the concepts, I will throw you into sets and provide feedback after each one.
We will hear each others sets using our phones and the mircophones on your airpods or wired headphones. Whoever is going into set calls the other one before they approach.
With the wired headphones, you would just leave them dangling over your shirt and that will capture everything perfectly.
If you have airpods or an equivalent, you will leave one pod in your ear. The advantage of this, is that you can hear me while you’re in set. 9 times out of 10, I won’t say anything, but if I spot something blatantly obvious that you’re missing, I will prompt you “you haven’t asked her name”… “ask what she’s up to now”, that type of thing.
I will be watching and listening to you and vice versa. I will record all your sets on my phone and send them to you after along with my notes on each one.
If you want me to video you in set, record the audio and sync it all together – I can do this for an extra fee. This will depend on the amount of sets you do.
I will offer three formats of infield coaching this year…
Half Day – £250
2 to 3 hours infield, either at lunchtime or the post-work rush hour. More suitable if you’ve already got some experience and are looking for me to identify sticking points. I’ll throw you straight into sets and do a demo or two.
Full Day – £500
Minimum of 5 hours infield. We will do the lunchtime rush, go home and lick our wounds for an hour or two, then come back out and implement what we discussed in the first session.
5 Day Resi – £2,500
Five full days, minimum of 25 hours infield. This is where you will get the most bang for your buck (pun intended). You will be hanging out with me for the full week, who knows we might even become mates.
