Coach Listing
One of the big things we wanted to do when MUSH opened was to collect a listing of coaches and start compiling some reviews for them. I have noticed that coaching has become popular recently, and for the amount that these people are charging, the customers deserve to know the quality of service they're going to get. I'm not allowed to keep it up as a sticky, but I will keep a list and PM it to interested people.
So what I want is for each person whose interested in coaching to PM me with the following information: 2+2 Screenname Services Offered (Reading hand histories, watching videos, offering videos for students to observe and ask questions about, stat review, etc.) Cost (can be a flat rate, hourly rate, range, etc., or you can just say "negotiable") Limits/games you play Limits you offer coaching for EDIT: Do you coach shorthanded, full ring, or both (leave blank if just shorthanded)? How many students have you coached? Why should a person choose you over all other coaches? What special talents do you have? (optional but recommended) Also, I'd appreciate any other suggestions on information you'd like to know in this thread. Lastly, I ask that anyone who gets coached will PM me with some feedback. I will never share it with the coach. I won't offer your name as a reference unless you'd like me to. I will not quote you unless you give me permission to. |

Re: Coach Listing
i like everything till this part:
[ QUOTE ] I will never share it [PM'd feedback]with the coach. [/ QUOTE ] if there's a way to get around the privacy issue, i think a coach would become better via the feedback. you should ask the student if its ok to send feedback to the coach for "quality control purposes" Barron |

[/ QUOTE ] I would imagine that most people arn't coaching that many students, so it wouldn't be too hard to figure out if someone is saying something about you. On the other hand, I don't think it really matters. We should all be honest with each other anyway, as it promotes better learning, and that is what we are all here to do. |

Re: Coach Listing
You might not be up for this but your concept would probably be much better done as an independent directory site that lists coaches, ratings, reviews, etc. with kind of a consumer reports approach.

So I think if its something that has to be done in secret, then one of the parties involved is doing something wrong. |
