2009-08-29 Skydiving Coach Rating step.

I drove up to Perris to meet Lindsey, and sit in on her AFF1 course. The drive up was pretty but it started getting warm quickly. When I got to Perris, I found my way to the school and got myself introduced to Lindsey. I could tell it was going to be a fun day right off the bat. Lindsey was energetic and excited about teaching the course. I then got the opportunity to take in my surroundings and I was very impressed when compared to the facilities at SDSD. Of course, facilities can't make up for the incredible views that belong only to Skydive San Diego, but it's definately a lot more developed.

There were three students in the course, one of whom was on time, and while we were waiting, he and I chatted about this and that and passed the time rather quickly while the others arrived and filled out paperwork.

The course started with introductions and the obligatory question about why the students want to jump. then the course began in earnest, and i was amazed at how simple it all came across.

It was a long day and by the end I was really excited for the students and I realize how much I like to teach. I'm looking forward to taking my coach rating course and moving forward with my jumping.
