«Skydiving has lots to offer. With so many disciplines, you might be missing out on something fun you don’t even know exists.»

Professional, regular coaching is essential to advance your skills, introduce you to new disciplines and polish your performance. The careful and procedural work you do with a coach provides you with goals and tangible evidence of progress. Deliberate practice builds skill and confidence, which equals more fun. A coaches’ job is to assess you current knowledge and ability level; then come up with relevant tasks that are fun and challenging to foster growth and confidence. Making the commitment to yourself to make a couple of coached jumps per month (or a few minutes of tunnel) is better than not committing to any at all. With a coach alongside you, you’ll feel professionally supported in your effort.
