Coaching (For Free)

Draschel:  First off, great job Bob. You sure have more patience and commitment than I do. The problem with this statement - is not that it don't exist or can't exist or good players do not want to do it. The problem stems from disheartening attitude, feedback, misunderstandings, disparity, Etc. Mentors are nice. They can help, certainly. But people still need to put in the effort, as in homework, to learn on their own. This is not something for someone to hold your hand and carry you to stardom. You need the commitment, effort, pressure - to make you the player you want to be, for example if you hire a tutor. And believe me, tutors are expensive. But hiring a tutor, paying a tutor - will not give you what you want alone. You need to be willing to accept teachings, be put in the right place to take in these teachings, and open to suggestion.   Let us compare this with mathematics, for a second. The two are quite similar. Let us say a college student, A) who is in social science under-grad, pays B) a TA grad student in theoretical and experimental sciences, as a tutor for 1st year curriculum courses, like Calc I, Phys I, Chem I, Linear Algebra, Genetics, Etc. To a social sciences student, these can be quite intimidating and almost certainly unprepared for. And you CANNOT just start learning Calc, unless you have laid a foundation first even with a tutor. You need high school prep, like algebra 1+2, pre-Calc functions, Introductory Chem and Physics, Etc. If you don't know these founding concepts, the tutor FIRST TEACHES YOU THESE, before the university content. Same goes for tanks. Before you want, deploy, try to paly well......you must understand HOW TO PLAY well. And this takes time, causes frustration, Etc.
