TRIGGER TIME TV - SEASON 8 - EPISODE 9 - TRAIN THE TRAINER

About this video

McPhee discusses why he does not offer train-the-trainer programs, arguing that intensive instructor certification cannot be compressed into short timeframes. He contends that large-group training models prioritize quantity over quality and result in diluted information transfer, comparing proper trainer development to the years required to achieve mastery in disciplines like jiu-jitsu.

Key takeaways

• McPhee argues that train-the-trainer models inherited from WWII mass-production approaches are fundamentally flawed for modern instruction
• McPhee contends that large-group training (20-30+ participants) leads to degraded information quality and spreads inaccurate techniques through what he calls ‘grapevine information’
• McPhee believes developing qualified instructors requires months or years of mentorship, not week-long certifications, and compares this to earning a jiu-jitsu black belt
