Mark P, maybe you could turn Perfesser Fowl into something of a project. If you are going to be consistently scheduled with the guy, maybe challenge yourself in a couple of ways towards achieving some personal goals.
A couple of thoughts:
- become his "mentor" w/o him even knowing it. Look for continual improvement from one series of games with him to the next over a period of time.
- model professionalism and good mechanics and game management to him.
- discuss in game game management strategy...see how he responds.
- use your time with him to practice your skills of giving "constructive" criticsm.
I'm sure there are other opportunities for personal growth. These are just food for thought.
Of course, maybe he is a horse that doesn't want to be led to water. In that case, just focus on you and your professionalism when on the court with him.
Good luck.
