Default Re: Coaching...?

Hello Beez,

Welcome to the pages. Thanks for your post

I had my first coach in November and I should have done it years ago It was a great learning experience that I plan to repeat once a year on tracks that I think I pretty much have figured out as much as I will on my own.

I was surprised (maybe you wouldn't be) at how many drivers have hired me to validate how good/fast they are, as opposed to wanting to learn something new, or get an honest evaluation from another party how they're doing. While it does make it easy if you tell them what they want to hear - "hey, you're great!" - and lucrative, it's not very fulfilling for the coach, at least it's not for me.


Racers with an attidude and arrogance. Whoda tunk it!

I can't H&T worth a crap, but if you need some help telling the greats how great they really are, all you have to do is feed me (You'de be surprised) and fly me to a racetrack
