You really have to get to know the person's mental state. You have to understand what drives them and what motivates them.

There are tons of ways women can get into the sport easly. I think it is not as intimidating as many people think it is.

Cycling is a sport of amazing athletes. Its been a privilege and a honor for me to be in this sport and to have a chance to race at the highest level.

Seeing someone have a goal and I if can help them to succeed then it is a big draw for me.

As much as I love coaching the masters, junior cycling is obviously the future of our sport.

It seems everyday I find a new road, a new person that can help my cycling better and help me understand more things. I compare cycling to life often.

However, to be a coach I think you have to have a lot of patience. You have to understand what they have going on in their lives and it's a very rewarding career but you also need to know that your not going to get paid a ton of money and you have to be patient with people and a good listener.
