Perhaps embarrassingly, I became a coach for selfish reasons. As a student, the CSS product changed everything about the way I ride, I was hooked and I wanted more. I know from other aspects of my life that best way to truly understand something is to teach it. So I signed up.
However, the reason I continue to coach is the people, the comradery I have with my fellow coaches and the lightbulb moments with my students. To echo what other's have said, I've met some truly strange awesome people through coaching, people from all different walks of life, people I would not have met otherwise.
It would be hard if it were a job, but it's not a job, it's a passion.
