Educate NOT Instruct, Say As It Is YET Inspire, Support & Direct YET allow the ownership of knowledge - what do riders want from their trainers....?
Seeing I'm ill and spending my day in bed working on the biggest coaching challenge I've ever taken on I might as well share some musings on various teaching related subjects. Lots of waffle below, you've been warned.

Spring is here! Colour Green Didin't Extinct!
Even if it's just for today! Plus 10C, wonderful sunshine, green grass and a
