When I started as a coach with the school a long time ago, I had spent the previous 15 or so years participating in Motorsport of various forms at many tracks in the US and Europe. So my initial reason was because I didn’t want to give up “track life”.
My need for the track fix quickly changed to enjoying riding, enjoying working with the students and developing long term connection and friendship with staff members, and in some cases, students. After all the training I’ve received (everything I know about riding and the level I have achieved is ALL down to that training), and also helping newer coaches with their own training both in the US and at the overseas branches, I still get a kick out of the game changes we can achieve by “helping” the students understand what works for them in their riding.
