Interesting that he gave a visual representation of a persons game.

The critical thinking part was interesting.

Comes across as a cool guy.

I found it interesting and the way he seems to frame his thoughts reminds me of the little that I have read about NLP.

One thing that stood out but was his comment that bad coaches give direct answers to direct questions. Can you elaborate on that or refer me to a link where he deals with this in more detail?

no problem
to give an example in jiu jitsu if a student asks me how to escape a particular submission the lazy approach would be to answer that question directly. show him the exact technique. this does a number of negative things, when they encounter a problem they learn not to think but instead look elsewhere for an answer. this approach also has low memory retention.

instead we try to encourage the student to think and problem solve for themselves with a socratic approach. engage them in conversation and try and get them to figure out how the submission works and how to counter. also as a coach its my job to come up with an 'isolation drill' which will allow the student to experience the pressure under progressive resistance and figure out the counter for themselves.
this sets them up to think for themselves, try to understand how jiu jitsu works and also from a retention stand point the fact he found the answer himself he's going to remember that a lot better.

Ok, thanks.

Another thing I found interesting that I agree with is that the people who do best (in any activity?) are the ones who dedicate themselves solely to that activity as opposed to having many hobbies.
