Frustration with coaching

[jerunk]

My coach is pretty good about it. He does it when he sees people in positions that he knows he hasn't personally taught them or that they don't know that well. He tells them the escapes or what to do and although the other guy hears it and is now trying to prevent those exact moves it's good cause it basically turns into you trying to trill the technique of a move you don't.

If you kind of know the technique he'll say small subtle reminders.

You've never competed, have you?

some guys respond well to coaching. some guys dont.

i had the privileged of going against Ilias Iliadis (200 Olympic judo champion) last year in Japan. His coach never said a word to him. Not during his fights, not during training randori. Only during breaks. When i asked him why; he replied that some people respond well to coaching and others don't.

If such a thing happens at such a high level then surely it can happen at lower levels too.

The coach (much like a school teacher) has to adapt his teaching to his students.

Don't get frustrated.

totally agree. for me martial arts is definetely a solo sport for me. when im in the ring, i cant hear/dont want to hear other sh1t. i am in the zone........
