What CageList teaches its coaches
Every coach on CageList runs their own lessons their own way. What we do is share a standard with all of them: these guides and the MADE-isms, from Coach Isaac Hess's own coaching and pro career. It puts mindset before mechanics, effort before results, and the player, not the parent, in the driver's seat.
Reading a few of these is the fastest way to know what to ask a coach before a first lesson. Start with what a private lesson is really for and how many coaches a player needs.
