My new coaching rate is < $100/hr, with a catch..
The catch is, you have to work your ass off for a month straight to get that rate. Below is an outline of a new coaching model that I've used with a couple guys over the summer, and am ready to make it available on a larger scale.
Unlimited coaching for 30 days
Here's the format:
The week before we begin, you provide me with..
-A short background, and the sites/stakes you currently play
-stats (i'll tell you exactly which ones to send)
-a 45 minute video of a recent pre-recorded session, or a hand history review, where you voice over with your thought process during the hands. This gets me familiar with where your mental game is currently at.
From there I will start tailoring a lesson plan specifically for you, to optimize your growth over the first week or so. The initial stages of the course will be centered around bringing awareness to the most relevant aspects of your game that you need to adjust for immediate win-rate improvements in your environment, and providing you with the exercises necessary for you to integrate those changes as quickly as possible. You will need PioSolver Pro if you want to get full value out of the course, as Pro allows you to run advanced scripts to compare to your database analysis. I will provide full tutorials on how to run the scripting process, and also provide you with Excel templates that you'll use to plot your results. It's some of the most advanced work you can do with the program, but with the help of my tutorials you only need a basic understanding of Piosolver's functionality to begin. I'll upload the tutorials to you via dropbox a week or so before our course start date so you can get a head start on the learning the procedure. If you don't want to do this type of scripting analysis, it's my opinion that you'll be limiting both your implieds and independence as a learner moving forward after the course. That being said, I have a good enough understanding of almost all of the major ssnl-hsnl environments that I can coach you into proper exploits vs. your pool if you prefer to just be told what to do, instead of compiling the black and white data for yourself. You'll still get a lot of value out of the course (maybe even more immediate value to be honest), but your ability to train independently on your own in future environments will be limited if you don't know how to run scripts. I always leave this choice up to the student, but I would caution you to choose the more appealing option. It requires less of you for a reason (it's not as valuable in the longterm).
Communication will be primarily through e-mail. I've found it to be a better way to organize thoughts for both parties, and it actually benefits the student, since he's not paying for the time it takes him to express his own thoughts over a timed call session. It also gets around time-zone issues. I recommend 1 organized email a day from you. It can be as long as you want, and it basically describes your daily exploration in the direction I sent you the day before, and the new questions that have come up for you in the process. You don't have to email me every day, this training model is completely dependent on your level of ambition. The challenge is for you to leverage me through your own ambition. You're held accountable only by your initial purchase.
I have a lot of stock lesson videos from my private coaching products. If any of them are highly relevant to one of your major leaks, or your current stage of exploration in PioSolver or mental game stuff, I will upload it to you in a private dropbox folder. My goal is to come at you at all angles with relevant training, without having to hold your hand. It's a chance to explore and improve relevantly at a hyper-accelerated rate.
I'm doing this for two reasons:
1) I really enjoy coaching guys who are all-in.
2) I want guys with real ambition to be rewarded. You can very realistically leverage me for 30-50 hours of my time if you just commit yourself to the learning process, without having to worry about direction (that's my job). And I would love that for you. Genuinely.
I'm trying this with 3 spaces open for the month of October. After that I will wait-list. If you want to book for November, that's fine too.
Total Course Price: $3600 (due week 1)
Registration Deposit: $1000
I offer payment plans if I see a promising reason, so feel free to communicate with me on that.
PM me to register, and if you have any other questions just post here. I've got some other new coaching projects in the mix for later this year that I'm excited to share and try out. You guys have my continued support, and I really love this job :)
