Pauls Coaching weekend - thoughts to ponder | Intermediate - General Q&A | Discussion Forum

Thanks Phil, pen and paper is a great idea, wouldn't have thought of that until it was too late!

I would have to agree with everything that Phil has said. Every point is a good point and I would recommend following them all. I would have liked to have followed them all myself but seeing as I was ill before the course, I was lucky enough to go let alone eat loads beforehand. And the weekend that my course was on, was when the clocks went forward so lost quite a bit of sleep through that!

The other thing was taking notes as I have none. I was going to (and planned to do this beforehand), was write some notes on the Saturday night. But my mind went blank and I was very tired so never did write anything down dispite sitting in my room with pen and paper in my hand.

One of the other things I would possibly add to Phil's list is that I would probably avoid playing any games in the spare time. Looking back, I think if I had resisted the urge to play some games, I could have saved my energy and thoughts on the coaching and training. After all, that's what I was there for.

I would love the opportunity to go 2 or 3 times but this will probably be unlikely but I do feel lucky enough to have gone once as there is no coaching course like Paul's coaching course.

If I do every go again, one thing I will definitely do is buy Paul a pint (and Angie!). They both deserve it and both plough their all into it.

Enough said.

(Would also like to take this opportunity to thank the many other coaches on this course, you all play your part, if I had enough money I'd buy you a pint too! You know who you are)
