finding the right coach

Trial and error may be best to find the right type of coach for oneself.

Try your best to find an honest coach who cares. Coaches with low prices may not care enough, or coaches with too many students may not have the time to care. Find candidates with good profiles with solid prices in your price range, and then talk to them.

Try to get a phone call, ask them questions, concerns etc... look for experience, passion, honesty, and love for coaching and the game. A call will give you a good idea who the coach is, and if they're a good choice for you, or a trial lesson will help if they provide that.

If you want to dig even deeper, look at some reviews, and/or ask some of their current students what the coach is like. Also, look for coaches who offer homework, shows more work and dedication in their craft.

Best of luck in finding a coach, I hope you find the right one for you!
