What's important for you to find in a coach? 

Please add anything I left out.  I didn't want to add too many choices.

A REWIND button, because a camera is the only "coach" that isn't using space in the tunnel...

You may see your mistakes on video but you won't know how to fix them correctly w.o a coach (unless you have a set of base skills first).  Even then, NO ONE has all the answers and fixes. 

When you stop learning from others you stop a successful progression.

Also, a good coach won't take up your time demonstrating things unless you request that.  A good prebrief and in tunnel instruction should do the trick.

Just keep doing what you do, Paige.  It works really well.  And, it is a bonus that video review is also an option!

Not to mention it's only $5 for a dvd instead of having to pay someone's slot and for their time/packjob.  Def. an invaluable tool for tunnel training.

Haha .. It has been quiet !!

I think we should have a 'no lurker' day once a week, there's loads of people registered who haven't posted.. I'm sure they have some good views and opinions they could share if they weren't so shy!

If you have registered on these forums and not posted yet - don't be shy. Come say hello!

But thank goodness there isn't the bickering, name calling and extreme judgementalism (is that even a word) here that goes on at dz.com
