Dan would be a great instructor for the GoSkate Team because Dan is really good with kids. I know how to listen to them and help them get going on their first rides. Also, I feel Dan is a great instructor because Dan is patient, he can wait for them to figure it out, not get frustrated. Another reason why Dans a great instructor is he has been skating for a long time, so for the more experienced skaters he can help them with kickflips and all those other tricks also helping them learn how to drop in and ollie. Another gift Dan has is his ability to reach the kids. At heart he is a kid so its easy for him to connect with them. He is a light hearted person. As for the older students they will looks up to him because he is cool and hip to the culture. Dan is a great instructor because he is smart. This isn’t his first job with kids he used to be a lifeguard to the LEGOLAND waterpark. There, he encountered lots of obstacles. There were lots for kids running around and Dan had to protect them incase they fell or hit their head. This is why he would be a good instructor because the student got hurt, Dan could handle is in an orderly, calm fashion. Dan grew up skating in San Diego. He remembers being 6 and the YMCA and the other older kids telling him to drop in. That’s why I believe a skate instructor is a good idea. Its a good idea to have someone who knows how to skate and teach the students the    I recommend Dan as an instructor for these reasons and I hope you feel the same and choose him to teach your kids how to skate! Thanks.
