Falling Into Place,
By Mike Turoff (League City, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Falling Into Place (Paperback)
Rita Ippoliti's "Falling Into Place" gives us an incredible eye-opening view into the perceptions and mindset of a student who faces numerous challenges in the pursuit of learning the incredible sport of skydiving. Throughout her pursuit, Rita has overcome numerous hurdles in both the physical and mental aspects of the sport as well as diverse instructional attitudes (towards her). Rita gives a refreshing reminder that all of us in the instructional field need to take a step back now and then and try to remember what it was like to be a student; that not all of us were gifted with natural ability that allowed the sport to come easily to us. Some of the instructors' attitudes that Rita has had to cope with during her learning process are not what I perceive as ideal instructor behavior. However, through her passionate persistence, she was able to overcome most of those attitudes and create challenges that (no doubt) improved each instructor's ability to teach students along the way to her goal of earning her license.I highly recommend this book for all instructional staff in our sport as well as others. It was fun to read and I was able to laugh at many of the incidents that she shared with us through her book. Mike Turoff, USPA Instructor Examiner, D-5957
