IMPROVING INSTRUCTING SKILLS
Becoming a great instructor is more than putting together a good workout. Good instructors connect
with their riders, both visually and verbally, and are able to motivate and inspire them through effective
communication. Communication skills are necessary in any human interaction.
A good instructor must be able to:
•
Explain the execution of an unfamiliar or advanced technical skill
•
Anticipate the next move and communicate it to the riders
•
Provide visualization for different cycling scenarios
•
Encourage the group to maintain concentration and work intensity
•
Set and instruct different riding rhythms and cycling drills
THREE RULES OF EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION
1.
Communication is a dynamic, two-way
process. Not only do we verbalize
messages, we receive and interpret
them. We know riders have processed
information correctly by watching their
response to instructions.
2.
Communication is received through
verbal and non-verbal messages: 70%
of communication is visual, so facial
expressions convey a majority of our
message. It’s not only what is said, but
how an instructor looks when saying it.
3.
Good communication has content,
motivation and emotion: content
refers to messages, motivation refers
to a stimulus and emotion refers to
sensations that are felt when receiving
the content of the message.
CLOTHING AND FOOTWEAR
Having the proper indoor cycling gear can assist in a more comfortable ride.
•
Suggest that riders wear cycling shorts to increase comfort
•
If shorts designed for cycling are not available, some riders may choose to experiment with a gel
seat cover if they find they are still not comfortable in the saddle. A gel seat cover fits over a bike
seat and provides additional padding.
•
Although cycling shoes are not mandatory, they can make a difference. Stiff-soled shoes are best for
Keiser M3/M3i indoor cycling. A light hiking shoe and even a cross-trainer are preferred to a running
shoe. A soft-soled shoe, like a runner, may bend over the pedal when in a standing position.
