Ah, the memories of daygame bootcamps

I suppose of late I’ve come off sounding a little dismissive of
daygame techniques, with all the talk I’ve given towards masculine
development and frame. This isn’t representative. I think technique
is _VERY IMPORTANT _for pretty much everyone who hasn’t already
reached the pinnacle of manliness. It’s all well and good to say
“be natural”, “be in the moment” and other such advice but
it’s kinda like telling a boxer “just knock him out”. There’s
the big question of _HOW_? It’s not until you’ve internalised the
right way to do things that you can hit unconscious competence.

I’d also forgotten what it was like to be new to this stuff. That
awe-inspiring sense of realising what’s possible, seeing coaches
performing what looks like street magic in front of your disbelieving
eyes. So when I was watching this Daygame.com [http://daygame.com/]
documentary this morning, it all came flooding back.

There’s alot of guys out there who don’t really know what
bootcamps are like, the actually nuts’n’bolts of what happens on
the day, how it feels, how impactful the experience can be. This
documentary puts you into the middle of it very effectively. _They
really are like this_. I taught a couple of them with Tom and John
last summer.

Note how timid and nervous the students are in the beginning, almost
not daring to hope. Then the wide-eyed wonder when suddenly they are
talking to hot girls and getting positive responses. See how they look
up to the coaches and follow instructions then come back with beaming
smiles after getting a girl’s number. Obviously this is a marketing
video so it remains upbeat, glossing over the tough times such as the
frustration when all the instant dates turn into flakes, the Day2s
leading to snubbed kiss close attempts, the difficulty of dragging
yourself into town to begin opening some days, all the self doubt.
These students are so full of positivity they don’t realise how much
further they have to travel to progress from “nice friendly five
minute chat” to “banging pretty girls regularly”.

But fuck it, that is a character building journey in itself. Good luck
guys, you’ve gotten off to a flying start.

It’s great marketing though, isn’t it? You can _feel_ the
camardarie develop over the weekend, see the guy’s demeanour shift
as they come out of good sets, and there’s a few nice vignettes
where John and Tom give really accurate on-the-fly technical advice.
Both are good solid teachers which comes out well in the video. For
example at 35:58 John gets it absolute bang-on correct and you can see
the concentration and passion for teaching in his demeanour.

So worth watching if you’re new to this and a bit nervous about
signing up for training, or an old hand whose lost a bit of love for
the Game.
