"WAYACHAMP provides more than simple teaching or coaching. It is an interface.
The master/apprentice
model is one that modern secondary and tertiary systems cannot support due to their structure. Yet there is no other way to impart the many complex skills and dynamics other than by the kind of immersion that WAYACHAMP offers."
