Mon, 30 Aug 2010 17:33:38 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Pat Barnes https://www.thinkingpoker.net/2010/08/good-vs-great-coaching/#comment-6079 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 17:33:38 +0000 http://www.thinkingpoker.net/?p=5739#comment-6079 We can all benefit from “beginner’s mind”! We learn from our students, so teaching and mentoring are mutually rewarding. Meeting students where they are is very powerful. Being humble, teaching through your mistakes, is a great strategy which shows that you feel secure and puts the student at ease. This is a good reminder for me starting a new semester! Thanks, Andrew!

I meant to add that this is one of the things I like/appreciate about your blog. You post analysis of as many “bad” hands of your own as you do your winners. Thanks for your time and effort.

Your willingness to hone your craft as a coach, as well as a player, is to be commended.
I viewed your acknowledgement that you must criticize as recognition of “sometimes the best example is a bad example”. I recently participated in a course on leadership, where everything was presented in the form of “here’s what to do”. I don’t know if leadership can be taught, but I am certain you can learn some things NOT to do. So I asked for examples of bad leadership.
I think you simply hit on human psychology. We can usually accept being told something new to do, but its difficult to accept being told NOT to do something we have previous done. Golf and Poker Mindset coach Jared Tendler wrote about this recently. Truly improving requires elimination of mistakes as well as repetition of your good habits.

You are genuinely the one of very few poker players that I’d want to get coached by. Hopefully I can afford it one day.
