USPA Coach Course with Laura Morris

A three day USPA Coach Course held by Xcel Skydiving instructor Laura Morris was held at Skydive Danielson. Eager coach course candidates joined the class ready to enter the world of skydiving instruction. Learning to become a skydiving coach requires that jumpers master teaching techniques that focus on sports psychology as well as kinesthetic and isometric training drills. Candidates also learn how to keep students engaged while teaching First Jump Courses and recurrency training classes. Chris P., Jon F., Ande D., Jerry T. and Aaron W. all passed their ground evaluations with flying colors. Due to the bad weather conditions, the evaluation jumps will be held another day. Get ready skydivers, we have some up and coming coaches ready to enter the mix!
