RkyMtnHigh 0 #1 December 2, 2005 Zhills for my coach rating...to be official in January.. I've coached 40 something jumpers on sitflying and have been extremely successful in making it "easy breezy" simple (that's my moto) and they freakin get it in a jump or two...not the 25 jumps or so it took ME to finally understand the concepts..so I've made their learning curve easier at no charge..my pleasure. But for being ligit, I just want the rating so I don't feel like a bandit. Too ligit to quit... _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As we've talked about in the past when you were my coach, the coach rating course fine tunes your own skills as well. It sounds like a good opportunity all around. _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schoenauer 0 #4 December 9, 2005 Congratulations on earning on your ratting. You might have felt like a bandit but doing some coaching in free flying, but your not, seeing that the USPA is not requiring such a ratting for free flying, yet.Memento Mori Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RkyMtnHigh 0 #5 December 9, 2005 Even when I get the rating, I won't do it for money..I'm a free coach and plan to always be that..I will pay my own jump tix and no need for a tip. I gain so much from this sport which is gratification enough. _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schoenauer 0 #6 December 9, 2005 QuoteEven when I get the rating My goof I thought you had the ratting. It doesn’t matter I know a lot of coaches who don't do it for the money. They do it for three reasons; its fun, they hone there skills, and they get to skydive.Memento Mori Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Life is about living and loving and sharing...not to profit. Just my personal theory My love of giving comes back to me in beautiful ways...I'm sure of that _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
