"I really appreciate the time and energy put into making my day fun and productive. The focus on consistency and how it relates to endurance driving was helpful and encouraging. Thank you for hanging in there on that marathon session where the seem to have forgotten to drop the checkered flag for quite some time, and for the calm quip "oh, got to practice some car control" when I had to use up the extra paving on 9 that one time."
"He offered guidance before a turn - reminding me of the goals we had set, then observing what I did and interacted with that. Great way for me to learn.
Then during the 'data analysis' session, explained both the function of the software and the details of the data about my driving.
Using that information set us up for the next driving session goals and it helped in the turns we planned to work on."
"gave a lot of detailed feedback and good instruction, as well as reinforcing important things to focus on - braking points, the line, etc.
good at analyzing what I did right/wrong w/ each part of the track - I felt at the end I had a good idea of specific things to improve upon"
"David was an excellent instructor for my first time out and I made huge progress. He made me feel much better about driving on the track for the first time right away, and I was able to adjust to the experience of actually being in control on the track. By the end of the day he had set a goal for me to improve by learning and selecting features on the track and using those as markers for initiating maneuvers. He was always very professional and upbeat about the advice he was giving."
"Dave, thanks so much for helping me on Sunday! Data coaching is not something I had considered before and I'm so glad you suggested it. Your knowledge of the track and experience in coaching really comes through. Not only did I feel the value in reviewing my sessions with you, but I could see my own improvement through the faster times throughout the day. It truly was one of my favourite weekends at Thunderhill, so thanks for contributing to that!"
"David was an amazing coach. We clicked right away since he is so easy going. He is an excellent communicator and gave extremely valuable feedback and instruction. He has a talent for being a driving coach and he made my first time out very memorable."
