Quote

"In every sport there is a lot to learn. There might be the whole added issue of shooting here, but there is technique and strategy in cycling, also.  Additionally, even though I come from a skiing background and had some success, this is my first formal coaching in skiing.  So I am trying to work on that as well and be patient."
