Providing the Guidance You Depend on... Remotely!
While COVID-19 has presented its challenges, one positive development is awareness of the ease and usefulness of video lessons!
​
Pre-recorded lessons can be POWERFUL since the process cultivates independence and critical thinking skills.
​
Riders may include their own audio with the ride they submit. It's a great way to:
-
convey what you are feeling
-
develop your eye
-
create a verbal "journal" of your thought process
