Riding in the rugged West Virginia terrain pushed her out of her comfort zone and eventually allowed her to transition from fearing technical terrain to seeking it.\n\n\nNowadays\, Joanna feels right at home on the rocky\, steep Sedona trails.  When instructing\, Joanna encourages her students to push their own comfort zones and helps riders to build a strong mental mindset\, a key to successful shredding.\nJoanna’s coaching style focuses on powerful guidance\, technical knowledge and strong structure. She builds confidence in her students by focusing on practice\, commitment and FUN. It is a proven fact that it is impossible to ride bikes with Joanna and not be smiling.\nShe currently holds her Level 2 Terra Method IDP certification and is working towards her BICP Level 3 Instructor Trainer Certification. She visits further training courses yearly and gets coaching monthly\, because for her\, lack of learning is regression.\nJoanna has been coaching professionally for the past 6 years\, and has helped hundreds of clients reach their full potential on the bike.\n\n \n\n\n  \nStefanie McDaniel \n \nGrowing up riding dirt bikes on technical desert single track\, Stefanie is no stranger to two wheels. After picking up mountain biking in 2015 and entering her first race in the fall of 2017\, she’s quickly made a name for herself in Professional Enduro Racing. Stefanie is the current 2-time Arizona and Nevada state Enduro champion\, and most recently 3rd overall Pro Woman in the 2019 Big Mountain Enduro Series. Riding for the US Factory Pivot Cycles Enduro Team\, Stefanie is looking forward to continuing to rise up the ranks in the coming years. She owes much of her success on the bike to continued quality professional instruction. Her passion for learning and practice has grown into teaching others how to progress safely and become more confident and skilled riders. As a PMBIA Certified Instructor\, Stefanie is excited to pass her stoke for bikes onto her future students! \n  \n**PLEASE NOTE:  HG believes a well-rounded athlete benefits from the perspective of both male and female coaching. While this clinic is focused on the ladies\, HG will utilize it’s professional male coaches to provide coaching assistance and mechanical support.
