I come with a full understanding of amateur and professional competitions across the country
travel arrangements, nutrition, daily training, (on hill and off), muscle development, air awareness training (Trampoline), and video review.

I always start with a proper stretch ensure the athlete is warmed up and prepared for a full day of training.
Once we feel primed and ready we would just go for a ride, no pressure just fun, at which time I observe body position, comfort level, and over all ability, this allows us to have a simple 5-10 minute conversation covering strong points in which we will build from allowing the fastest and safest progression.
The rest of the session will be heavily filmed and discussed with a focus on proper vs improper fundamentals and "vision" or body position interpretation
This allows the student to leave with a deeper understand of what they may or may not being doing proper thus creating a focused athlete with the ability to continue critiquing themselves in the future.
The student will also receive a copy of the sessions video allowing for future review and discussion, along with a video record of progression.

Client Reviews

Thanks Andy, your enthusiasm is great to see and Shaye is enjoying working with you.

I had the pleasure to have andy as my coach at windells academy for a year. He kept everyone stoked and motivated to ride and could do anything you needed him to do. If it was filming or a trick for you or telling you how to do a trick to figure it out. I learned a lot from having him as my coach. Always stoked to go riding and keep the vibes good".
Andy has that perfect personality that got me even more pumped to snowboard. He always spreads his good vibes. His positivity and love for the sport prevails through his teachings. I had him as a coach at Windells Academy and I have to admit he is the best one. He always told me tips on how to improve like any coach should, but he specifically paid full attention to me and my riding. I remember whenever I asked him about a trick he would always tell me I could do it, which helped my mentality as a rider. And without even asking he would gladly show me the trick before I attempted it so I had the idea of what to do and how to hit it. I absolutely saw a progression with my skills each day. Riding with Andy was definitely and honor and a great time
