The Sophistication of Professional Practice
In the words of Rita Lybek Murphy, everything relates to the Basic RiderCourse©. As I discussed several professional topics with a colleague this week, we touched upon how the depth and breadth of being a RiderCoach would take enough commitment and desire to improve continually. Without the intrinsic motivation for improvement, we become only minimally competent, ergo, only as good as we will ever be. …

Back to Student-Driven Development
by Dr. Donald L. Green, 11 April 2022
Discussing Safe Effective Efficient (SEE) and Fun Effective Efficient and Learner-Centered (FEEL) with some RiderCoaches recently, I was reminded whenever we begin to banter about these terms, it is about the student ALWAYS. Anytime we invoke such acronyms, we should not be thinking of ourselves as RiderCoaches, we should be aligning our thoughts with the curricular underpinnings (S.A.M.) and how they relate to student development. An excellent way to describe student-driven development while engaged in a Rider Education Course is to approach the student at the top of a hierarchal pyramid. …

Getting to Flow (Again)
Like any skilled activity, RiderCoaches and Motorcyclists who intend to do something well will attempt to achieve a state of “flow” by focusing their attention on a point where concentration becomes almost a zen-like experience. A recent study emphasizes Moto GP riders by highlighting such a focus because their eyes blink less than an average person’s. The state of flow they achieve is so intense they can look longer without the disruption of having their eyes close because of the millisecond of trouble it can cause of a visual nature. Flow signals meet an intense concentration where everything else surrounding the moment is no longer a distraction. …
