I remember reading a story of a guy who was the world squash champion in the 1950s or so. He had to take a ship from England to the US for the world championship and there was a squash court on board with a coach. So he rocked up to the coach and said 'I've never played before, can you teach me'. Had a coaching session every day 'getting' better and better, until by the end of the voyage was beating the squash coach completely. All along the way he kept telling the coach 'wow, you are such a good coach, look how quickly I'm learning'

Jaffa - you could pretend to be a newby and by the end stun everyone with your abilities.
