I prefer one full content lesson (5-6h) and then training 20 x half an hour (to be even with your 10h invest) with what sticks (without rechecking) + with what needs to be restudied by the script, videomaterial and individual notes over 2 short lessons meaning to obviously yet not even having a double haul or all key essensials for the rod hand included.Paul Arden wrote: ↑Tue Jan 02, 2024 7:54 pm Anyway yes, I think two one-hour lessons, given fresh, with 8-10hrs of training in-between, with a recording of each session, will take a student further along than one x 6hrs lesson, no matter if that is given 1-1 or 1-15. There is only so much information that can be remembered in one sitting and skills take significantly longer to embed than you think.
So in this regards it’s better value for money. But I would never sell a two-lesson “course”.
And here (hi Lasse) it wasn't too long ago you (Paul), I and many on SL agreed, that giving a short lesson and sending the student home missing a lot of keys (like double hauling for example) will mean to train in a poor misleading way easily. Not to forget that students have friends and may go fishing before a next lesson anyway. Then they learn by watching their friends.
So Lasse, you see Paul has changed his mind about this. He now prefers giving only small pieces of the cake per lesson hoping for the student to return and not to train more than what was set via the exercise given.
Maybe Paul once said to focus on the caster in the first place, Lasse. As you say I wasn't here and don't know. But he didn't lately. Precisely the opposite: external cues over internal cues for both.
About the WC it was 1m, not 2m. The third German was 2m in front of me (yes), but wasn't my student. My student however was best of us three. Only he had almost zero wind in the heat and back then 34,5m was not on the low end in such conditions. It was a hell of a length. In the warm up he hit several times upto 38,5m having more wind. That also wasn't on the low end back then.
Anyway, my point was, that unlike Paul I have a fair amount of experience in face to face teaching over many lessons.
Paul, why you didn't take the swimming lesson via Zoom but went all way to KL?
Cheers
