“Coaching with Richard feels synonymous to the role of the belayer when rock climbing. He never tells you where to go or what to do, but encourages you that from his vantage point it looks possible to reach higher and higher. His support gives a sense of security and perspective, because knowing he believes in me helps me believe more in myself.”
