How Do You Know If You Are Skiing Right?  The Ski Coach Tells You Every Time!

The Ski Coach: During your ski lessons, you will be given the opportunity to try out a new sensory feedback tool developed in Canada by a friend of mine. This tool allows you to know when you are doing something right by giving you a stimulus. Conversely when you are not doing the right thing, the stimulus will be absent.

I have been working with this tool for a full season and I would like to share with you what The Ski Coach can to improve your skiing.

The Ski Coach is essentially a curved tube with three stainless steel balls that slide from side to side according to the lateral acceleration of your movements. When the balls hit the end plate, they make an audible click telling you what has happened. This tube is in a small rucksack that attaches to your back.

How Does The Ski Coach Work?
 
The object is to have the balls clicking in the turn as early as possible suggesting an early transfer onto your new outside ski.  You start your turns by moving your pelvis inside the turn. Having the courage to place your pelvis inside the turn will allow the balls of the Ski Coach to move towards the outside of the turn with the desirable audible click.

Later on in the curve, things tend to get better for the red skier and the balls in
the Ski Coach move and click.

Check out the turn on the other side; the red skier's pelvis is still a little shy to move inside the curve, but things are coming along well with the feedback from the Ski Coach.

The Ski Coach will allow you to continue improving outside the scope of the lessons. You will be videoed so that you can assess for yourself the potency of your skiing, with and without the tool helping your feedback.

If you like the Ski Coach tool and wish to keep it, I will either make it available to you right there on the spot or you can order the Ski Coach directly from The Ski Coach website.

Having focused on what do with our pelvis, I thought that you may be interested in finding out a little more about it so I am including in this newsletter an extract from page 108 of my e-book Ski as you think.

Gravity as we know, brings everything to the ground and your pelvis should be no exception, this leads to another fundamental role of the pelvis. Once in the curve, your pelvis has to get closer to the ground, again to remove counterproductive forces of opposition.

The Pelvis, Moving In and Down

Ski Coach

Lowering the pelvis places your body in the energy groove of the turn.

One of the fundamental roles of the pelvis is to place your being in the energy-groove of the curve bringing coherence and harmony in your body, linking ankles, pelvis and jaw in efficient ways. Great core stability results from being in that groove; once in the groove you are in harmony with gravity's forces and physical strain disappears from your body altogether giving you a fantastic feeling of control and well being. Strain only exists as you fight the force of gravity; when you stop opposing the force, strain disappears.

Moving the pelvis in and down provides the necessary benefit of increasing edging angle called upon by the ankles. Increasing edge angle tightens the arc of the curve as you are using more of the ski design, allowing more of the turning energy built-into your skis to be released for your benefit. Again, lowering the pelvis does not happen through effort, it should automatically be drawn in with a little consent on your behalf. Inside the eye of the cyclone, the weather is calm; the same happens in skiing where it is always calm inside the energy groove of the turn. Struggling skiers are those perpetually caught in the tornado going on in the periphery of the turn's energy-groove.

PS. To learn more check out my book Ski As You Think

You've most likely been programmed for mediocre performance, leaving you stagnating on the plateau forcing you to make complicated moves that lead nowhere and making you feel out of control.

That's why I have written Ski as you Think. You are about to discover essential knowledge that has been kept secret until now because it is the truth and as you probably know, nothing is more revolutionary then the truth. Know that this essential truth is crucial and cannot be found through ski coaches regardless of their nationalities, ranks and qualifications (even the ones who train the best skiers in the world), because they do not know about it and chances are they never will unless they get this book.
