Before you commit to a pack of lessons, how accessible is the instructor?
Yeah, like will he be in prison in 4-weeks?
"One quick, final story. A few years ago a young baseball coach, mid-20s, rolled into town and took our Little League world by storm. Kids loved him. Charismatic. NOT FROM OUR AREA (red flag). Knew baseball though. Had all the TJ scars and accompanying stories of his climb up the baseball ladder and fall from it. After my own vetting (which I'll admit was more of a "sniff test"), and in an effort to help the young man out I purchased 10-lessons in advance from him at maybe $400? Two lessons in he was arrested for "Trafficking in Opiates. " Heroin, actually. Gone. And so was my $320."
