Developing the Future: Young Racer's Skills

 

Young Dane Craddock, age 10, was a little about his first time on rollers, but after a step-by-step coaching instruction, he was a natural after about 30 minutes into it.

I did also have to bribe him with food.  Just so you know he did not have the twinkie he was asking about.  I was glad to see he didn't even know what one was.  A box was given to my daughters, who also never ate one, but sometimes its hard to throw away food.  I did throw them away this same day though.
Developing skills like this at that age are critical.  When Dane decides that he wants to be a top level racer, his skills will already be there.  Look out for him in the future.
