Angel Diva
So we have lots of Divas who have been instructors for a long time, recently became instructors, or have considered it at one time or another. I am in the last group. If I won powerball and didn't need to work, I think that this is something that I would like to do (that is after I bought my own ski resort where all my Diva friends could come ski.....so who's gonna come take a lesson from me at my own private mountain ).
This got me thinking- So why did you make the decision to spend all day, every winter day outside in the cold teaching skiing? As opposed to just continuing to do what we love to do (ski) on your own for your own enjoyment.
Did you really want to teach others to ski or help those who already ski improve and get to the next level? Or was your motivation something else entirely? A part of me thinks a fringe benefit would be that the training I would get would improve my own skiing (which is always a good thing....) and be a way to get access to those instructors who could possibly help me break through to the next level.
So Diva instructors, why did you jump in? And for those who have been instructors for a while, why do you keep instructing? Are the reasons you initially chose to start teaching still there or have things changed and something completely different now motivates you or demotivates you?
