Default Looking for coach at Mosport 8/29-30

Hi:

I'm going to be at Mosport 8/29-8/30 for a time trial, and would love to find a coach near Mosport that is available those 2 days.

My usual coach (Drew) is booked already...

Would anyone have suggestions for some folks to contact to check for availability?

Thanks!

Sadly, Matt is booked but he's offered to connect me to someone.

You'll get the home track discount and there is no travel!

There's a group of excellent local coaches. Other than preference re. right seat, video, data, and fit (specific experience, style, personality), the main challenge as always is availability for any given date. I am working on something for the OP.

Since I've received several PMs with questions... my background is in part ski race coaching and pedagogy. In a previous life spent a lot of time on the road delivering coaching courses, writing, and speaking about pedagogy, in addition to actually coaching .

So I use that framework and experience when I coach in a car. And when I'm not available I try to match people to an appropriate coach.

One of these days when I have time I'll write an article for Ross

Ski racing and car racing very similar for getting raw speed - the other cars on the track add new interesting dynamic I have found - ex ski racer here
