This video was spot on. I've considered becoming an instructor, and I am "one" for LE, but I've always seen the industry saturated with instructors. I also would say that I feel I wouldn't be teaching anything else that I haven't heard from other instructors, and I don't want to regurgitate information for the sake of it. We definitely need more instructors like you, Jedi, and Rick from AHT, just to name a few that not only can shoot very well but also pass the information in a way that can be digested well and can be repeatable. Anyways, excellent video.
Couldn’t agree more. I’ve been to several classes some really good, and some I’d rather have just spent the money on ammo and practiced myself. That said I’ve been heavily considering becoming an instructor, but I never quite feel trained enough to the point of being able to train others. Some instructors I actually laugh at because I could run circles around them and their abilities and information delivery, but others I’m like “they’re on a whole ‘nother level”. How and when do you really feel adequate enough to start teaching? I feel like I’ll NEVER be at a proficient enough level to teach…
Absolutely! You can be a master at something and not be a good teacher on how to do it. Someone that is really good at something and wants to teach that thing literally has to learn a new skill in the form of how to be a good, effective teacher. Especially with The communication part of teaching.
unfortunately, the shooting industry is a place where people confuse retelling with instruction. I think where people get confused is they misinterpret their understanding for the craft to being able to teach it. And just like you said, a big divider is how often one person can train. when I first started, I used to chase instructor programs, but like Brennan said from Gateway, a good instructors comes from somebody who trains themselves hard and smart.
us new instructor's need to follow the footsteps of good teachers like yourself

It’s awesome that you’re critical of your abilities. Get a mentor, someone who can counsel you and give you honest feedback
Very Big Brovo - well stated and expressed.
