“You should also look at the accomplishments of the coach’s clientele. You hire a coach to help YOU perform better, not listen to his or her war stories. Just because some 20-time champion was a champion, doesn’t mean he can coach worth a darn. I saw the Outside article on Steve Ilg and read his blog for a little bit. It’s all about how great he is and how no one can do what he does. That may be true, but I haven’t seen anything about his clients and their accomplishments. I don’t mean to dis your coach but I just use that as an example.”
Written by ‘TriScooter” slammin’ me point blank as John “Hakado Ru” Kuhlmans coach for the past 14 years over at Hak’s blog:
my Most Noble and Beautiful WF Sangha,
not once, in over 25 YEARS of attempting to make a living doing what i do, have i EVER, EVER referred to ANY ONE of you as a “client” as Mr. TriScooter so unconsciously put words into my mouth, one of many conditioned inculcated word choices inherent to his lambasting of myself and my LifeWork. i have allWays considered you to be the same as i; a STUDENT of this amazingly beautiful, treacherously Steep and Direct Path (when WAS your last Consciously Appreciated Breath and Consciously Appreciated Adjustment of your spine into a more Elegant Posture?).
if you’d like to school Mr. TriScooter on a different perspective of ilg and WF, leave a comment here:
