coaching a champion!

many people ask me

"if you know this much about trading how come u r not a millionaire urself?"

"u teach stock trading thru technical indicators but u urself don't have a proven history of stock market success."

i always knew that i knew a few things which i could train others on.

but the above logic given by the critics was always somewhere in my mind

till i got the answer which gave words to what i always believed.

here it is...

Günther Bosch is a Romanian-German former tennis player.

He played tennis in the Romanian Davis Cup team.

He was the Romanian "number three"

always in the shadow of Ilie Nastase and Ion Tiriac .

So, are these credentials sufficient to secure him a place in tennis history?

Probably not?

hold you thoughts....

My second example is of a cricketer who had a brief first-class career with Queensland in 1978-79

in which he played in 7 matches and hit 160 runs.

He also played league cricket in England.

He never played at the test level.

Does this stand him any chance to have a place in cricket history?

Probably not?

Now for some reality check.

Günther Bosch shot to fame when he coached Boris Becker in becoming the first unseeded player and the youngest to win at the Wimbledon in 1985 at the age of 17!!!

He today holds a thesis on "psychology in tennis"!

The cricketer mentioned above is non other than John Buchanan who was appointed the coach of Australian Cricket team in 1999 and who propelled the team to unprecedented success.

At one stage his record was 15 wins from 15 games played.

I also have reverse example of champions (whom i don't wish to name) who proved to be disasterous coaches....!!!

While i don't intend to say that i am a Gunther or Buchanan by any stretch of imagination

neither do i intend to say that i am a great trading coach

all i want to say is that

i strongly felt that i had a few important things to tell the budding traders

and that i need not be a trading champion myself to make champions out of you!

a coach can be successful without being a champion himself or herself

but a champion generally doesn't become a champion without a coach!
