I really enjoy playing bridge with Robin. He is a good player, a good partner, and a good teacher. He makes sure I don't feel stressed. We always have a good time and we usually win some Masterpoints too!."
Anni Amend
I strongly recommend that you take playing lessons from Robin Gillett. They have been very valuable to me. He and I usually discuss bidding situations before the game and go over mistakes after the session. Over time, I've learned tol recognize and eliminate many common mistakes. Now, better players are asking me to play with them
and I have the confidence to accept."
Jerry Williams
I have just started taking Playing Lessons from Robin, but
already I have learned:
- To
analyze my mistakes after the session.
- During
the session to focus on What's Important Now!
- Understanding
that sometimes what went wrong was beyond my control.
- Understanding
that the Seven Deadly Sins are within my control.
Russ Pomeroy
I got my more than my money's worth even BEFORE my first Playing Lesson, discussing the Partnership Notes with Robin and setting Goals for the Lesson. The Lesson itself was a terrific learning experience and I got an unexpected bonus: WE WON!!"

Playing lessons are
one of the best tools for improving your bridge game. Playing with an
experienced partner in a duplicate bridge game is both exciting and
informative. Prior to the game we will discuss and complete a convention card
outlining our system agreements. Together we compete as a partnership in a
duplicate bridge event. At the conclusion of the game we discuss each
hand one by one. We look at the bids and plays that worked well and were
successful. We also discuss mistakes and develop a plan to improve your
technique and correct reoccurring problems.
People in all walks of life (amateur & professional athletes, businesses
executives, etc.) have benefited from coaching - bridge players can too!
When Ira Corn formed the Dallas Aces, he not only
hired six excellent players - he hired a coach, Joe Musumeci. Although the coach was a good bridge player,
he was not as good a player as the six players he was coaching. Yet Joe Musumeci transformed six good
players into six world class players.
Bob Hamman, one of the Aces, said that their coach (nicknamed "Moose") was "pivotal to the success of the Aces." Under Moose's coaching, the Aces dethroned the
Italian Blue Team by winning multiple World Championships and were widely
regarded as the best team in the world.
Coaching
focuses on helping clients to take action toward the realization of their
visions, goals, or desires. Coaching
provides the client with structure, support, and feedback. The coaching process
helps clients both define and achieve their goals faster and with more ease
than would be possible otherwise.
Coaching is related to several other
organizational processes including change management, team building,
facilitation, performance management, strategic planning and quality
management. As a management consultant
for over 30 years, I have coached client teams through these processes. I have acquired many coaching skills from
those experiences, which I bring to the bridge table.
When
you engage me as your bridge coach, you can expect to experience fresh
perspectives on your game, learn enhanced thinking and decision making skills,
enhanced partnership effectiveness, and increased confidence in your bridge
game. You will see appreciable results
in your personal satisfaction with bridge and in the achievement of your goals. I guarantee it!
To determine if you could benefit from
coaching, start by summarizing what you would expect to accomplish from my coaching
assistance. When you have a fairly clear idea of the desired outcome, I can
help you develop a strategy for how to achieve that outcome with greater ease. Ask yourself if you find it valuable to
collaborate, to have another viewpoint, and to be asked to consider new
perspectives. Also ask yourself if you are ready to devote the time and the
energy to making real changes in your bridge game. If the answer to these
questions is yes, then I can help you to grow and develop your game.

FREE Tools Offer
Free
Tool #1
At our first Playing
Lesson, I will give you a FREE copy of my Performance Analysis System (a $25 dollar value) and we will apply it
to our first session playing together.
You will be then be able to use it with any of your regular partnerships
(it's really very easy, yet amazing powerful).
It is based on the Dallas Aces system and I have added some process
improvement concepts I've learned from my management consulting career. The result is a structured, iterative process
for continuous improvement. Maybe you
won't get to the Bermuda Bowl as a competitor (as the Dallas Aces did), but
this system will raise your performance level too.
Free
Tool #2
Also at our first Playing
Lesson, I will give you a FREE copy of either edition of my Partnership Notes (either Standard American
or 2 Over 1). Again, a $25 value, but its yours for FREE..
Both of these tools are completely free to my coaching
clients. Of course, my coaching services
are not free, but I guarantee you'll be satisfied with my coaching
services or I'll give you your money back!
In any case, you can keep the free tools.
If you have already bought either of these books from
me, I'll credit the entire purchase price towards your first Playing
Lesson.
TWO Money Back Guarentees
Money Back Guarantee #1
Entirely
at your option, if you feel that you did not receive enough value to
justify my fee for our Playing Lesson - I will refund your money NO QUESTIONS
ASKED. You may keep the FREE bonuses as
my gift.
Money Back Guarantee #2
Entirely at my
option, if I feel that I did not deliver enough value
to justify my fee for our Playing Lesson - I will refund your money, even
without any complaint from you. Please
note:
- I do NOT promise to
play perfectly and to make no mistakes - quite the contrary, I will very
probably make some mistakes during our Playing Lesson (I doubt that any
player has ever played an entirely mistake-free, "perfect" session!) But I DO promise to deliver my best
effort to help you improve your game.
- I do NOT guarantee
results because there are too many factors outside of my (or even our)
control that may influence our final score.
