Your Goals and My Coaching Objectives –
The purpose of my coaching services is to help you achieve your riding and racing objectives, whether you are doing your first trackday or are an AMA Pro. As different as we all are, we share one thing in common: we want to enjoy our riding, and want to do it in the safest, most efficient, and controlled manner possible. My goal is to help you do that by giving you the tools and techniques to become a faster, smoother, and more conscientious rider, with a clear understanding of why top-level riders do the things they do. While many of my teaching tools may be familiar to you, my coaching approach is highly individual. No two riders are alike, and we all have distinct learning preferences and studying dynamics. I do my best to determine your skill level, riding needs, and learning priorities to create the most effective plan that will take you to the next level of riding. Unlike most riding schools and private instructors, I do not offer cookie-cutter solutions. My approach involves a collaborative effort to design a comprehensive plan that addresses your individual needs, timing, and budget.
Techniques and Equipment –
Our coaching sessions include, narrative car rides around the track, understanding the track and its dynamics, trail braking, apexes, lines, body position, eyes and throttle control. Each track riding session will be videotaped and reviewed for the next riding session out on the track.
