I'd like to see a coaching options Forum where PROs and players could find coaching options that fit their needs (members only of course).
I, for example, would like to work with a pro ~1 hour a week (some weeknight) over skype. So I could find a pro that posts that they do shorter times, use skype, and could check that I meet whatever other criteria the pro has.
Or perhaps a pro wanted to do a group session with 2+ players who have similar stakes and styles?

As a pro who does a fair number of individual sessions, some of which are with TPE members, I think this is a good idea. However, I think perhaps part of the reason why it doesn't exist yet is because a lot of the TPE pros who are putting in high volume at the tables right now, might not have much time on their hands to take on individual students. I'll have a word with some of the TPE 'top brass' (Killingbird and TTwist) about it, and see if we can get something in motion.

i like the idea here guys and i have added to the list of topics for the next owners meeting. Coaching is so much more easier to do than it was 4+ years ago when we first launched the company and much more main stream as well, il keep you guys posted

After the WSOP and spending significant time thinking about this, I have a ton or thoughts/input on this subject and would love to spew it out. But the basic idea is get a group of 3-8 “students” who meet twice a month with a pro. Even number sessions would be reviewing hands vai replayer and having the student talk through the hand while the pro would comment on how or why the thinking is correct or less than optimal. The odd number weeks would be PLAYING a single table MTT with the PRO analyzing and commenting after hands. (You could accomplish this with Google Hangout? perhaps Aces Hangout poker?) Each would be a 2 hour session.
Players would all pay less than they would individually, but the pro would make slightly more than their typical hourly rate. Best of all, it really becomes a differentiator for the site at the cost of only 4 hours a month. How can you guys pass up that proposition?
Sessions would be 10 months, running August – May.
I can help discuss/plan/setup if necessary, just ping me.

Im interested in coaching but one thing that would be hindering to getting the full potential would be im a live player. So i dont have hand histories and live replayers of hands to go over. Is that a big deal to coaches? Makes it hard for them to analyze what their working I imagine. Think i might just get a laptop and signup with bovada to remedy that.

Well, I am hoping we get some feedback after the next owners meeting. Like I said, I think this would be a big differentiator for the site. But this too will wait until after the main…
