Jack,
Very well stated.
I'm a rookie instructor and someone who was in the green group 6 years ago. I have not forgotten how nervous I was and how intimidating it was entering the track for the first time. I always try and find the "newbies" and help them with simple basics at registration, parking, hotels, etc. People helped me and I really enjoy giving back.
My first event was a mess and thank goodness that Ed K. was my second instructor. He really calmed me down and worked as much on my brain, attitude and nerves as we did trying to find "the line". Instructing is very demanding physically and emotionally and I am trying to learn my new role and get better every session in the car with my students. It only takes a second for a problem to occur..........and they will occur. I feel my job is to anticipate that anything can happen and always "plan an out" for every possible problem. I'm learning and eager to learn more.
