How to find the most suitable Coach for your specific needs and get the most out of each and every class!

What considerations did you make when you bought an expensive gift, traveled overseas or invested in education for you or someone in your family? In most cases people make educated decisions when it comes to buying something that is seen to add value to or in someway, "improve" their quality of life. So what about learning a sport like skating? What motivates you to make the decision that you want to "start skating" and then "want to take skating lessons?"

Knowing this may in fact uncover the reason why you would choose an old Coach over a young Coach, a Certified Coach over a regular Coach, have a friend teach you the basics rather than a Coach etc etc.

Let's not leave this to personal judgment or opinion, let's share our thoughts and find out what others think then compile the results right here for all to see. The questions should be;

1. What is a Certified Coach, who are they, where are they?

2. What is the difference from Instructor & Coach?

3. Which Coach / Instructor is best to teach me?

4. What is the right price for a 60 minute lesson?

Send me your thoughts and I will upload the findings here. Email:
