I’ve been asked many times why I decided to start coaching, and the answer is simple: I love these sports! When I first started racing I had no idea what I was doing. I had a local coach take a risk and invest in me. He taught me a lot about the sport and spent a lot of time developing me as an athlete. That is just one of the reasons I made the choice to coach. I can give back to the sport and the people that made it so welcoming and joyful to be around.
