Tried virtual coaching? Yes.
A couple of people have video taped us and put us out on YouTube. So when the
invite came, I pointed those videos out. I got a very nice write-up on what was
there and suggestions on what to do about problem areas. None were really a
surprise. I don't know how things would work long-term. Biggest problem I have
is getting the guys to believe what I tell them and act on it.
I think the personal touch makes a difference. If you know the guy there in
front of you there right now is going to see you again in a couple of weeks or
so, you're more likely to do something about it. A not-so-good coach in person
is better than a virtual expert. But that is just my personal opinion. You can
take it for what it is worth ( or isn't ).
