Cut the cost? The ole two for one deal? Most guys charge by the kid. Good luck with that. Additionally, if your kid is recruiting age, and gets tired in a 1 hour lesson, he might not be the kind of athlete college coaches are looking for...
I think that is a great idea and then can push each other as well
Now you are telling me your son has more endurance then my kid..give me a break...if you are paying $50 for 1 the price for two for the same hour won't be $100..It will be much less .Its called common sense . So if he had 10 kids he is charging $1000 an hour. Don't be the fool , most good coaches or kids giving lessons will work with you ..No one is in that big of demand unless they have a sucker like you willing to pay
Yes, if a kid can't handle a 1 hour lesson, he's NOT in shape. As far as the fees: You do realize some people train kids to make money? Why would they charge $100 for one kid, and free for the other? Oh, because YOU want it for half price? I think I get it. So, 2 kids still $100. How about 3 or 4 still $100? Maybe a whole team? All for $100? Next time you hire a baby sitter, invite the neighbors kids too. In fact, invite all the kids on the block. Maybe you could get the girl's baby sitting fee down to 50 cents a kid per hour.
Relax there Francis, its throwing a ball around and sometimes bouncing it off a wall. A nurse and a nypd officer make about $40 an hour. See the insanity in paying someone to play catch with your kid for $100 an hour? You can do it but don't ever try and justify it. Parents are nuts and most trainers are robbing
Nothing to justify. You spend your money the way you want. I'll do the same. Clearly you have a problem with people earning what a market will bare. If you don't want to pay for a trainer or private lessons, don't. By the way, a cop works for 20 years, retires, and then gets paid for another 40 or 50 more years to do a whole lot of nothing, along with health benefits for life. Turns that $40 an hour into about $500 an hour in deferred income. Pretty good gig, I'd say. Oh, the 80's movie reference is really lame.
So now police officers make 20k a week in pension or 1 mill a year . Great gig. No one should be paying $100 an hour for lessons. That's common sense for most . More important is to take what you learned at lessons and charge half to the next person teaching the same thing. Let's not make it rocket science here. Look at YouTube it's the same drills there. Hate to burst your bubble . I will post the links when I get the chance.
Dummy, do the math. Cop works 20 years retires at 40. Lives to 90. 50 years of pension and benefits. Worth about $150,000 a year, some $200k a year. $7.5 to $10 million pay out over those 50 years. Not quite $500 an hour, but a handsome payout nonetheless.
Again, if you don't want to pay for lessons, don't. You're not bursting any bubbles Champ. $100 bucks once a week is not a lot of money for many, many people. One in College already playing at a great school and another already committed since 10th grade. Yes I paid for tutors, ACT prep, private lessons and strength training. Would do it all again in a heartbeat. I enjoy investing in my kids. When money was tight, I did without so they had what they needed. Oh, and if they were into music I would've paid for the best voice lessons or the best music coach I could find. That's how I roll, all in for me and mine. You? Not so much I guess. Last thing cheapo, don't have your kid get involved with Hockey. Freind's son is on a top U-18 team. $15,000 a year just for the team... No he's not rich, just all in!
