Purple Belt Wants to Teach Privates at My Gym - Doesn’t Want to Pay Facility Fee
I have a purple belt that I sponsor on our competition team. Free membership for him - he competes a few times a year. He does alright. He’s has some talent, but he’s not as good as he thinks he is and he’s not going to set the world on fire.
Anyway, this student says he wants to use my gym to teach privates. I figured teaching might help him develop his own skills, and I’m glad to see him show some initiative, so I told him sure, as long as he pays a percentage of his lesson fees to help cover my overhead.
He got all huffy and walked out. He muttered something about “the lights are already on” as if my entire facility just dropped out of the sky and pays for itself.
This kid has no idea what it takes to run a business and doesn’t seem to care. We have a good gym and I make a small profit. Enough for me to earn a modest living, doing what I love.
Should I make him start paying for lessons again, or just kick him out? He’s got a lot of growing up to do, and I’m tired of the headache.
EDIT: Thank you to the Mod that corrected the flair to Follow-Up Shitpost.
