I kind of can agree with a lot of what Sloth said, but I don't think you can be a really good teacher and be bad at competition. I think if you can teach it, you can execute it, because you understand (at whatever level and age level). I don't in any way believe that those two rolls can be mutually exclusive. I've seen guys and been taught by people that seemed like good teachers, but hit the competition mat and they couldn't execute shit. It wasn't a matter of athleticism or age, it was what works for teaching vs. what actually works in real life.
