Comments regarding your experience with this person (not required)

I was new to bike racing several years ago and Saskia was very welcoming. She encouraged me and gave me useful tips (even though she was my competitor). She’s been a reliable friend and when she says she’ll be somewhere, she’s there on time.

Please rate this person's dedication or engagement to their work or studies5-excellent
Comments about dedication or engagement (not required)

Saskia has a very demanding job working long hours at Emanuel Hospital and she has completed some epically long bike rides so I have no concerns about her stamina and determination to finish out a day’s work on the hill.

Please rate this person's willingness or desire to improve their performance5-excellent
Comments regarding willingness or desire to improve performance (not required)

Anyone who trains to bike race has the desire to work hard to improve performance.

What would you consider this person’s strengths and/or weaknesses?

Saskia is very intelligent and can communicate concepts well. She also has fun energy but knows when seriousness is required to ensure safety.

Is there anything else you feel would be important for us to know, and if so, please describe?

I think she would be great teaching kids with her fun/goofy energy. I also taught ski lessons at a little mountain in Connecticut and have especially fond memories of teaching the 5-8 year olds.
