However, get on a P2/P3 on a technical course and you'll be in a world of trouble.

Lucas, rider error is often mistakenly blamed on the way the bike "handled". But we musn't forget a bike doesn't do anything without someone "handling" it. A bike, therefore, is only as skilled as its rider. We must never blame the aircraft for pilot error or inadequacy. If you need some practice descending I'm sure a few of the guys and girls on the team would help you out.

Sara and Chris were out here last year.

"Today I do what you won't, so tomorrow I do what you can't."

 

Angela told me about the vote of confidence Doc, and it is much appreciated. Methinks these other coaches can't let-go the ego and, as we know, ego defends its stance to the bitter end. As such, it halts the process that is LEARNING. As athletes we see it all the time, no more so than at the elite level, particularly in younger pros. But when it seeps into the coaching realm it's especially perilous, as it affects those tied to him/her.

How could a coach (or, for that matter, an athlete) not want to learn? And what better source than the trainers who have an extensive history of producing champions? To me it's all a complete no-brainer.

And while others may read this and claim that some of us here are kissing ass or brown-nosing, it's not that at all. It's simply being pragmatic about self-assessment. Basic sh!t if you ask me, but the very reason there are but a few competent multisport coaches in the US. But then again, the US is the very essence of narcissism, so maybe these so-called coaches (businessmen, really) are just a ramification of that.
