    Coaches New Rec Coach - How do I learn to spot and in general gain more confidence?

    I want to make sure I don't let a kid fall on their head! That's like my worst nightmare. Besides the basic spotting they're teaching me, I feel like I'm not truly LEARNING HOW to spot.

    Thank you so much for your reply.
