I know I'm really late to this, but I don't care: the more dedicated, non-replicable and personalized a service is, naturally the more valuable it will be.

@TSM_Leffen's coaching ($350 USD/mo) is no exception.

THREAD (1/5):

STICKER SHOCK — comparing to the "normalized" price of lessons ($30-50/hr) shouldn't negate the prestige of Leffen's caliber of competitive resume & knowledge.

Results across Melee, Ultimate, and even DBFZ demonstrates the *foundation* of principles that govern his adaptability.

OPPORTUNITY COST — If he offers coaching, it requires drafting lesson plans & sessions w/ clients [at minimum], which would consume 5 days worth of streaming easily. Pricing alone (outside of supply/demand) would justify matching that income.

[Assuming S-tier coaching, obv]

PARALLEL LOGIC — if a

Top 5 Globally-Recognized Professional

of any craft
(pianist, tennis player, chef, whatever) offered *personalized* lessons, how much would those cost?

Major key is the "personalized lessons vs mass-produced lessons — behind a paywall," IMO.

Props to him for exploring the outlet. I hope his clients feel confident enough to reveal themselves after promising results so this new meta of coaching-and-parenting-players-eager-to-conquer-their-plateaus spawns.

Would be quite an interesting shift in Smash altogether ;-)
