Travis Brown, Level-2 Instructor Trainer,  will be hosting conference calls about topics that will help you hone your skills instruction. Our development as an instructor doesn’t stop when you pass your certification course. Getting better at teaching and connecting with your participants is ever-changing. It can take time to develop the tools for becoming an incredible instructor. Through these meetings, we will be giving you some shortcuts to accelerate your growth and establish a strong community of Mountain Bike Instructors.

UPCOMING TALKS

Wednesday, October 2nd- Sessioning Trail Features

This week we are going to be talking about some strategies for sessioning features on the trail! It is so important that our participants apply the skills that we have taught them on the trail and ideally it will happen with as a part of our clinic. We will cover how risk changes as we move into a trail environment, how to create a closed environment on the trail and how to make these sessions valuable and efficient. See you at 6 MDT!

 

Wednesday, October 16th- Wound Care

There is always an inherit risk to mountain biking. Sometimes, despite our best efforts, our participants will get injured. This week will go in depth on wound care. We will cover the types of wounds we are likely to see, how to clean and bandage them, and concepts around evacuation. Bring questions and stories!
See you at 6 MDT!
