Every season I’ve taught skiing but one I have been preparing for or taking an exam. The only season I didn’t, I was opening a $500 million museum on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C.
Thanks to the help of my fellow divas, friends, family and my trainers I earned a gold pin. While I’m proud that I finally got here, I’m not sure what to do now.
I’m a very goal and deadline oriented person. This time last year I had posted to this blog 55 times. My whole season of prep was planned and my technical director and ski school director signed off on it.
This year I’ve been adjusting to a new, challenging (in a good way) job and racing cross. Side note: Cyclocross is a great activity to keep your fitness up going into the season and have a good time in the dirt and with friends.
I know that I want to keep improving as a skier and teacher. How can I do that with out a target to aim at?
Some of my closet friends are on the examiner track so I have some concept of the gargantuan effort it would take for me to even get close and what life is like once you make the dev team. I don’t think it’s the right fit for me. I want to see more women in ed staff jackets, that would be by only reason to try.
I’d like to spend time doing all the things my exam prep schedule didn’t allow for like snowboarding and adaptive. Working on becoming a better clinic leader and children’s instructor isn’t a bad idea either.
For now I’m going to go with the flow, as weird as that is, and see where it takes me.

Wow-I really identify with this (classic type A first born)-it reminded me that broadening my scope may create a whole new goal set I had never thought of but that may make me a better teacher, coach, skier, and person...thank you for sharing!
