Indoor Cycle Instructor Podcast #35 - Are you a Balanced Instructor? (http://www.indoorcycleinstructor.com/?p=756)
Sport and Exercise Psychology Expert, Dr. Haley Perlus and I discuss the responses to a question I asked a while back; “What frustrates you as an Indoor Cycling Instructor?” I found that after reviewing the 80 responses I could divide the act of teaching an effective and entertaining Indoor Cycling Class into three categories:
Foundation - class profile, training zones
Presentation - communication and interpersonal skills
Media - music & videos The majority were related to finding music and playlists. Next were frustrations on finding new class profiles and introducing real training principles into a class.
Any effort to improve should begin with an understanding of where you are currently. Here is a link to the Instructor evaluation form Dr. Haley has provided to help you get some valuable feed back from your class. http://www.drhaleyperlus.com/IEF
