With the summer now over and the oh-so-important fall prep period underway, now is a great time for racers to get their minds in great shape, coaches to sharpen their skills, and parents to be the best they can be as we all prepare for next winter.
Good news; I can help! I’m pleased to announce the launch of my updated and improved online courses for racers, coaches, and parents, all offered on-demand and self-paced to fit into your busy lives. And now, every course comes with a detailed workbook filled with summaries of each class and exercises that can be completed during or after each class.
