We’ve talked a lot about the importance of having a good coach, when it comes to skiing or anything you want to master. You can tell that Ira Riklis values his skiing coach Mike Bartasuis. He’s the coach that Ira spent 20 years looking for. He’s the one who took Ira from intermediate or advanced to an expert level skiier.
Here’s a photo of Ira Riklis with Mike (it’s rare to find photos of Ira Riklis online). This was taken at Ira’s birthday party. The two have become good friends.
There are a few people who’s influence literally changes our lives and takes us on an elevated course. We feel that without them we could never reach our potential. Mike is obviously one of those coaches who has made an impact and who is a master at teaching. His skills are rare.
