The cross step is quicker for me than 323. That is why I use it.
I'm talking about cross for Yau, where after F2C you make 3 cross edges

Same.
I think we're misunderstanding each other, Yau has both cross and 3-2-3, Redux-Yau mix has a step where you do redux edge pairing to make a cross then 3-2-3
I do full cross first for mixture. In full you, I do three cross edges.
Correct.

I know full yau, just refuse to do it.
I just solved using full yau, it really cut down my time. You should learn it.

There is the fact that we also teach good practicing habits as well just because somebody is faster then someone else doesn't mean they know everything but yes you are right it does seem odd(I'm going to keep using the Owen & Micah Morrison as examples because they both got accepted)
They both know 2lll, and it's almost certain that they know other subsets. You wouldn't be able to teach him a subset any better than he could teach himself, especially considering their experience

Well hello luke
and now that makes everything worse I was but it was too bright in my roomWell hello Jack, thought you were going to sleep.

This is true, but you also need to address the other side of this, that you guys have something to offer.
Personally, as a sub 10 solver, if I were looking for a coach, I'd be looking for someone who has done a significant amount of work or research in areas I'm unfamiliar with. For example, I would consider working with someone if they
- Have analyzed many solves of top cubers and understand what makes them fast (and what they do wrong): fingertricks, solutions, techniques etc.
- Have a deep understanding of more advanced techniques. For example: pseudoslotting, ROLL/JOLL, xcrosses, multislotting
- Have a lot of competition experience, and can give practical advice on how to perform better at comps
- Have done a lot of work optimizing an algset, such as ZBLL. This is not easy to do - it requires testing a lot of alternatives in order to find the fastest algs, and also finding algs either in alg sheets or using cube explorer. It's also often required to have correct fingertricks in order to compare algs fairly.
etc
My point is that I definitely think it's possible to coach someone who's slower than you, but you're going to need to offer something that they don't have. Chances are, it will take a lot of work to obtain this something. The stuff you've mentioned so far are all things I could just do myself without too much work.
To add to that, someone who has to be convinced in their own thread that using Yau on 4x4 instead of some butchered version of Yau because they didn't put in the time to practicing full Yau before doesn't seem to be the best person coaching someone on how to improve their practicing habits.

I am optimizing CFOP, use x-cross when possible, and know some WV.

I do know full yau, and just started practicing it. Plus I wasn’t convinced; I already had the mindset to start using it in the future. I used to look up to you, but now, I’m not so sure.
