What I've learned over the last 6 or 7 years, I would love to teach people. I still have a lot to share with people and especially within the US.
My father was a schoolteacher and my mother came from a teacher's family.
My father was a teacher and my mother also worked in the school, so the family has a background in education.
Great teaching requires incredible talent and dedication, strong intellectual ability and interpersonal skill, real discipline and empathy.
The most experienced teachers are frequently promoted right out of the classroom!
Benevolence alone will not make a teacher, nor will learning alone do it. The gift of teaching is a peculiar talent, and implies a need and a craving in the teacher himself.
Rita Guarino is one of the best technical coaches I have had in my career - often she demonstrates a specific technique and shows the players up!

I'm a good teacher and am great at observation and picking out what's wrong and fixing it.
