Sunday was a super fun day of training and the conditions were excellent for taking video.  The video is available to view by clicking on the links below.  

Part 1 has Sydney’s, Zach/Sarah’s and most of MP’s groups in the course.  Part 2 has the rest of MP’s and Rosie’s groups in the course, Syndey’s group free skiing and MPs group jumping.  There is no way to go directly to your athlete’s run, so you will need to watch until you recognize him/her.   

I have listed a few common movement patterns below, providing both the preferred movement pattern followed by the the less ideal one.  You can use these questions to analyze the video while viewing it with your athlete.

• Is my child’s weight centered over the ski...... or is he/she sitting back?
• Are my child’s hands both out in front of him/her...... or are they down at hip level?
• Is my child using pole plants to help with timing and balance?
• Does your child have more weight on his/her outside ski....or on the inside ski?
• Is my child’s upper body facing in the direction of the upcoming turn..... or turning uphill?

Great work everyone!  Your coaches have certainly seen a lot of improvement since the beginning of the year.
