# Ben M.

**Location:** Monmouthshire
**Coverage:** Abergavenny, Merthyr Tydfil, Raglan, Monmouth
**Experience:** 10+ years coaching
**DMAP Level:** 4

## Profile

## Overview

Ben has spent more than a decade at the Porsche Experience Centre at Silverstone, where he has progressed to Gold Grade consultant and delivered IceForce Pro courses on frozen lakes in Finland. 

He's not only taught the drivers, he's taught those that teach the drivers. For five years he ran RoSPA's two-week train-the-trainer diploma in the UK and overseas, building advanced driving instructors from scratch.

Whether you are stepping up to a faster car, want to understand what your vehicle's systems actually do at the limit, or simply want coaching from someone who operates at the top end of the profession, expect structured, intelligent teaching that works on how you think, not just what you do with the wheel.

## Core Expertise

- **Performance and high-end vehicles.** A Porsche Gold Grade consultant who coaches on road and track. If you have invested in a quick car and want to drive it properly, Ben understands the machinery and the technique.
- **Low-friction and car control.** Delivered IceForce Pro courses in Finland, teaching control on ice and snow. That margin-of-error work translates directly into safer, smoother driving on a wet British road.
- **Behavioural coaching.** His degree is in the psychology of how drivers learn. He teaches at the level of decision-making and habit, which is where lasting improvement actually comes from.
- **Vehicle systems and technology.** Coaches drivers on what their car's safety and driver-assist systems do, and where the limits of that technology sit.
- **Building drivers from the ground up.** A former senior trainer who developed instructors and course material, so he is fluent in breaking a complex skill into teachable steps.

## Professional Background

## Coaching Philosophy

Ben's background is unusual because he has spent as much time studying how drivers learn as teaching them to drive. His degree work and his years building instructors both point the same way: the driver who understands why a technique works will keep using it long after the lesson ends, where the driver who has only been told what to do will not. 

Expect Ben to coach the thinking behind the inputs, so that better driving becomes something you own rather than something you copy.
