I don’t mean to be too rude, bud, but I worry that coaching people when you’re not significantly higher rated (certainly than their target rating) is counterproductive. You’ll probably impart a fair number of bad habits from your own chess that are stopping you from progressing.
I do a bit of coaching myself, but I would probably not want to coach higher than 13-1400 even, because I too have bad habits. By all means teach complete beginners or kids how to move the pieces, but coaching people who are trying to get to 1000 and beyond may not be best for you.
That is a fair point. There's just not many people like that on this site but otherwise i'd do it. I just want people to feel proud of themselves.
It’s an admirable goal. But maybe see if you can cross the 1200 threshold and make it to 1500 even, then you would be in a slightly better position to guide others to 1000? I can help you get there, if you want.
Coach to coach: You have an amazing natural talent as a coach. I love the way you handle relationships and will try to replicate that. Would love to talk sometime about coaching!
