Finally got myself a coach ...

Well the title says it I suppose. During my LTS sessions, I was particularly impressed by one coach, who managed to get me to do stuff I honestly didn't believe I could do, and I had earmarked her for follow-on coaching. Unfortunately, she had extended time out for personal reasons, and all the other coaches were fully booked, so I was left in limbo. She reappeared a couple of weeks ago, all is now well and so today I asked if she is available to take me through the passport, assuming she thinks I am able ... (being a crustie and all )

My first private lesson is next saturday morning, so I will be counting the hours till then ...

Congrats...it is both exciting and nerve-wracking to start with a new coach. Enjoy yourself!

My coach has decided to go elsewhere, so I'm about to think about who (or if) to choose another coach. It makes a real difference when you find someone who can work well with you.
