Welcome Spinning News Readers!
Would a mentor have helped you when you first started teaching Indoor Cycling? Or are you interested in developing a mentoring program for your club? Jennifer Sage and I discuss the benefits of mentoring with Bob Rebach, or SpinBob as he is known on the forums. Bob has written two articles for the Spinning Newsletter about mentoring; Overcoming Uncertainty: Finding a Mentor and an upcoming article Starting a Mentoring Program in your club. Link to article.

That sounds like a topic for a new Podcast Rick. Thanks for the idea. I have the same problem getting my Dept Head to take the time to come to my class and check me out.
