I’ve had the nice experience of teaching my younger brother chess and as he made those bad blunders I started to remember when I played the same and made me happy. We like to review his games together and have a laugh at the shit moves and crack jokes like “killing a fly with a bazooka”.
So I would like to know what you guys enjoyed re-living and teaching.
In my skydiving days I loved to take jumpers just off student status and help them become full fledged skydivers.
The student progression will teach you the basics of how to save your life, but that’s about it. If someone stuck with me, they could pack, spot, accurately land, and turn points in 4-way and even dive on larger formations in a much shorter time than they could do it on their own or with someone else and do it safely. I also knew who were the good teachers on the DZ and direct my students to the person that could help them most, when my skill set wasn’t appropriate.
Most of the time I just did it for the cost of my jump ticket too. Although I got in trouble with the Drop Zone Owner as he was trying to generate revenue from coaching. So I did have to start working for the DZ officially when doing coach jumps. Annoying but it was what it was. There might have been a few or many fun jumps I did with someone where I accidentally gave them a few tip and tricks and they might have bought me a beer after the planes were tied down.
