ladyskydiver 0 #1 April 8, 2005 10 hours of tunnel time later, Olaf has survived his encounter with "Olaf's Nightmare" and camera guy. His teaching style is perfect. Not only does he teach you the correct way to do things but has fun as well while teaching you. He's able to show you what you were doing wrong and then show you the correct way to do it. He knew when we were getting tired or frustrated and switched up what we were doing so that we continued to learn and not get too frustrated. Gentle reminders of what we needed to do...laughter when it was totally applicable...an all around spectacular teacher! And what does Olaf get as a "reward" for spending time with us? A return trip from us in November (timing being worked on). Anyone get the opportunity to get Olaf as a coach - take it!!!!!!!!!Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TF107 0 #2 April 8, 2005 Um, yeah, what she said. This was my second camp with Olaf, and words can't express how much I have learned. Damn that place is fun!

He's a great coach who has the perfect mix of fun and serious goin on.Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites skykittykat 0 #4 April 8, 2005 Olaf is one of my skydiving heroes and mentors (I did a previous post in either Gen. Skydiving Dis or Bonfire). He rocks!!! Not only is he a brilliant tunnel instructor, but an awesome skydiver and coach as well. He really helped me out when I was in Lake Wales and downsizing to my new canopy. Also, he was on my 200th jump and it was a very special jump as well. I love Olaf (in case you hadn't noticed!!!)

It would be impossible to not have a fantastic fun time while learning from him.
