Here is what the three coaches of MTB Life has to say about their coaching passion:
Wilmien Chamberlain – “Children are fearless. The delight of “getting it right.” “Coach, coach, did you see that?” Coaching is rewarding.
Ananias T Ananias – “I love teaching, that’s the first, the second is, I love kids, why? Kids are less judgmental, they are willing to learn, and kids appreciate good teachings. The best of it all is, is to see them grow and applying what they have learned to become not only better athletes, but also better people”
Mike Swanepoel – “I enjoy coaching children from a young age, expanding their riding skills and giving back to cycling what cycling has done for me over the years.”
