Maslow's hierarchy of needs

hmm, I've always been familiar with this topic since my earliest readings of psychology, but I never thought about it as it might pertain to shooting.
If we were to follow Maslow's words, such as 'a painter must paint' to the level of self-actualization, it suggests that the top shooters 'must shoot'. Of course, in order for that to happen, all of the basic and precursor needs must be taken care of first. Which implies that the top shooter is independently financed somehow, such that he can spend all his time shooting.
That part is not feasible for most of us, therefore I suppose we should look for other levels of satisfaction that will enable us to self-actualize.

What does any person wish to do in any forum?
Sorry, it is more about this statement: "What does any person wish to do in any forum?" In other words, why someone need to talk here on TT?

I find it funny as it seems that people's major problem is that Russ wants to charge money for coaching. This is very common in Europe where some coaches actually earn a living coaching, its even common in North America for other sports, golf, tennis, figure skating and swimming come to mind.
What is this aversion to actually paying for something where does this idea that coaching in shooting should be free? For the record I coach juniors and for the most part its free (usually costs me money) but thats my choice, I have seriously consider charging as well and I can see it coming in the future. Athletes seem to place far more value on something that they pay for as oppose to get for free, I also find that they are far more likely to follow the coaches advice and ideas if they have paid for it.
I have not had any coaching contact with Russ, but I'm well aware of his background as an elite shooter, I also know of at least two people that he coached that seemed to have done pretty well. I see very few people arguing about the actual substance of the instruction that he talks about. Just people complaining about his grammar or cryptic style. Coaching is a very personal relationship, not all coaches are suited to all athletes.
People also seem to take offence that he is interested in coaching only elite athletes or those that seriously want to become elite athletes, this too is very common amongst coaches, not all coaches are interested in coaching beginners or those that just want to be club level shooters nor are all coaches even suited to coach beginners it does sometime take special people with a different skill set.

I'm with you Richard 100%.
If you know what are you doing, you have to recpect you time.
Thank you
Russ
P.S.
I am happy to work with any individual who is free off presumptions and ready for success as all my students.
One more thing to consider: I am not alone who can tech. If someone needs coach, it is better actually to look in this direction for guided development. It will save years and lot of money in comparison with “trial and error method”.

Re: What does any person wish to do in any forum?
So that is the question posed by the original poster of this thread. Sticking to the thread topic then, and recognizing the accuracy of what Richard posted, maybe we can deduce an answer that explains why Russ posts to TT.Russ wrote:Sorry, it is more about this statement: "What does any person wish to do in any forum?" In other words, why someone need to talk here on TT?
As Richard pointed out, there's nothing wrong with charging for coaching, and there's also nothing wrong with insisting on coaching only elite shooters or those shooters who have made a strong commitment to do what it takes to become elite. And Russ does both.
Are there any elite shooters who frequent TT who are looking for coaching? Probably not. Any shooters who have made that commitment? Possibly, but few if any that would meet Russ' standards. So what's the purpose of Russ taunting recreational shooters with comments about trying to buy points with the latest equipment and other similar jibes?
It's not like Russ offers any specific helpful suggestions to the recreational shooters - that would violate his concept of coaching. Again, nothing wrong with that. But then the only reason for him to post that I can see is that he wants to advertise. For free. That's what I object to.

My goal is to show that my concept idea: “How to Move your Performance to Level 570 in AP in 3 Months" is working model.
It is up to shooter to choose long way to do this or the way that is more effective.
Second idea was to provide effective service to motivated athletes at remote locations without confusing information form unknown sources (nobody knows what Viagra76 can suggest for someone who has potential and aspirations)
