Dan is a soccer expert, teaching private lessons as well as coaching full teams for many decades. We often have lunch together after his lessons to share ideas, especially on skills acquisition. We were talking about how as instructors we can shave off many years of a student's studies by feeding them the right information at the right time, and he said...

"It doesn't matter who your teacher is, you can't break the rule of hours."
