International Womens Day

Thanks to all the amazing people in my life male and female that have helped me live the 'life' I lead and do the things I have done, especially my family who have supported me in so many ways, my great friend Dave Manby for his confidence to employ a very young wide eyed female as his safety kayaker for his business in Eastern Turkey in 2000, that opportunity has given me the confidence to do so many things in life. Great things have been done to get women to this point in the short time of human history and we should take time to celebrate that, in surfing the women now have equal prize money something other sports should be rightly ashamed of not equaling! There are too many women who work and play in the outdoors that inspire me to start naming them, I hope like we all do that in some small way I have helped others on their journey in life and I continue to enjoy and get great satisfaction from doing that with my small coaching business.

Once we have had our day of 'celebration' lets get back to work as we're only part of the way.

Video Analysis using Coaches Eye

We've been using video analysis on all our coaching sessions since we started coaching MTB over 13 years, which was rare in many companies. Now a lot has changed since then and we have kept up and moved with the times as riding styles, trails and bikes have changed. We have adapted our coaching keeping it fresh, we've always focused on these key ingredients video analysis, fun environment and flexible content.  

Female specific

Coming on a female-specific course or private session with us can have lots of benefits, as well as being lots of fun and meeting other female riders, everyone is working on the same wavelength and in a testosterone free environment it’s really refreshing when you are trying to take your riding to that next level. We also cover fitness conditioning and goal setting too.

Having a female coach who understands your needs, puts you at ease and creates a really fun learning environment and can also show you what women are capable of, is a great change from the all to often publicised ‘Ladies’ course that actually has male instructors.

Lots of women ride and most ride with their partners or male friends. Guys don’t think along the same lines as women, they also learn and often ride in different ways too, as you might have noticed! That does not mean you can’t keep up with them and show them a thing or two though.

We work with small groups, so that you and a couple of friends can have coaching in a specific location that fits the skills you want to develop. Females respond to this friendly environment and develop their skills faster this way. Thats why we do it!

So, no matter if you just like pottering about the local lanes and bridleways or if you are a Downhill Diva or even a wannabe Jump spot Queen we can help you on your way. 

Learning at your own level and pace with a female instructor is a fantastic way to develop your skills further. Why not get in touch with us and see where we can take your riding with you?

Open courses includes:

• A full day (10am to 4.30pm) of fully qualified MTB Skills coaching
• Suitable progressive terrain in our own ‘private’ skills area
• Live video coaching so you can see what you are actually doing
• Post course feedback CD with all the video footage from the course on with Demo's etc
• Individual post course feedback sheet with the key learning elements of each skill and top tips.
