[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These coaches that charge $100 for lessons are often quite booked and don't provide a lot of feedback unless you ask for it.

I have experience with this in youth soccer.  $75 and $120 lessons... zero feedback or a plan.  Just 1 on 1 coaching some drills. Making the kids work and do skills at a high tempo. Thats it.   Some coaches charge $100 just to make some sort of comprehensive assessment.  The coach will need a baseline of understanding the kid's needs before the coach can make a gameplay.  Then, yes, ideally, the coach should watch the kid play a game and provide guidance right after his team coach is finished with the team.  But, I wouldn't be surprised if that level of coaching is extra too.

So yes, unless you set an expectation that those items are what you are looking for... they will just do skills sessions.  And often they are not even tailored to your athlete.

The $120 coach did a session with my kid. But it was almost the same exact session they did with an athlete 7 years older. Decent work if you can get it, right?  [/quote]

Perhaps I’m in the wrong line of work. There are precious few jobs where you can get $120/hr for what boils down to is some exercising with a kid. What’s wild is that there is no guarantee of any sort of result spending that kind of money.[/quote]
