I don't want to yank your chain( since when does that ever stop me, eh
) , but what does flying ability beyond the minimum have anything to do with teaching ability?
If I was to look for an instructor, I don't give a hoot if you can fly 3d blindfolded while standing on your head, but CAN YOU TEACH? Teaching is an art of knowledge, attitude, manners and maturity. Why would anyone put up with you if all you can demonstrate is one of the 4 qualities? BTW, age has noting to do with teaching ability.
I think Tommy Lasorta once said that the worst players tend to make the best managers.
