What you’ll learn: Why “saying” is never enough—show your drills How to demonstrate safely and effectively (belly button rule!) What makes a demo fail—and how to fix it Why match play ratings are flawed How PCI’s ratings system works (and why it’s more fair) Tips on managing “helpful” students and setting boundaries Should you ditch water breaks? Try the built-in hydration rotation strategy. Whether you're a seasoned instructor or new to teaching, this is a must-listen for leveling up your lessons.
