Ski Instruction Val d'Isere

How Happy Would You Be If You Could Ski Any Slope With Unstoppable Confidence, Total Balance and Complete Control? Read the Bruce Lee Story to Find Out How...

I am going all out in this newsletter, no more subtle allusions here and there to get the message across to timid readers. The message is clear; In Val d'Isere I can really help you become the skier of your dreams provided you are willing to understand certain rules. The same rules used by great masters. Welcome to Ski Mastery, Val d'Isere private ski instruction. Let me tell you a story from a great master illustrating this perfectly.

Everybody is familiar with the great Bruce Lee. Perhaps the greatest Martial Arts Master that ever lived. He was also a great teacher and very often people would come to him and say 'could you tell us Master how we could be a great Martial Artist like you'. Now he would take them to a gym and he would go through some of his moves. What he was doing was trying to find out where they were. He said, 'most people have the wrong information about Martial Arts', (just like people have the wrong information about skiing). After he had taken them through the little exam he would sit down at a table (with a glass of coke and a glass of water) and he'd put in front of them the glass of coke and say: 'I want you to look at that coke and let it represent your knowledge…this is what you know to be the truth'. And he said, 'I want you to let this clear water represent what is the truth…this is my knowledge, this is what I have learned' and 'this is what you want from me'. Then Bruce said; 'I can't give you my knowledge because you see, there is too much of yours', however he said, 'if you are prepared to let go of yours and make room for mine, then we can work together. But as long as you hold on to this (the coke) I can't give you this (the water)'.

What a great story! Bruce Lee being the master that he was did something remarkable. He set the story straight with his pupils…I can't give you my knowledge until you let go of yours. Think about it, are you prepared to let go of what you know? Are you ready to make room for my knowledge? Because if you are then Ski Mastery, Val d'Isere, is specially designed for you. Ski Mastery Val d'Isere will turbo-charge your skiing with fresh thinking combined with powerful actions.

Mastery has nothing to do with your present skiing standard, nothing at all, a beginner for example could, after five minutes of skiing be using the principles of mastery, and mastery is about aligning yourself with the universal laws for the purpose of skiing. Think about how happy you would be if you could ski any slope with unstoppable confidence, total balance and complete control?

I am telling you it is possible, you just need to apply the laws in the same way as the masters do.
Masters obtains their power from the understanding of universal laws and they align these laws to their advantage using four components.

The thoughts running through your head as you are standing on top of that icy mogul hill are setting the scenario of your descent.

· What are your present thoughts? These thoughts are the coke in the glass. Can you let them go in order to make room for masterful thoughts?

The words that you spontaneously express as you are standing on top of an icy mogul field will reflex into your performance.

'It looks difficult' or 'I'll never make it alive' or 'here goes nothing' or 'disaster city here I come' or 'no man's land' or 'you call this a holiday' or 'bloody hell'… you get the idea.

'This looks easy' or 'a walk in the park' or 'piece of cake' or 'I'm going to crack this stuff' or 'hang in there' or 'wonderful' or 'magnificent'…

· What words are you present words? These words are the coke in the glass. Can you let them go in order to make room for masterful words?

Actions show what your skiing is really like. Actions express the result of your thoughts plus your words.

· What are your present actions like? These actions are the coke in the glass. Can you let them go in order to make room for masterful action?

Mastery is achieved by learning how to move your mind before moving your body.

First you put your thoughts in order, and then you act. Think about it, how can you experience skiing with confidence if your thoughts are not aligned on confidence, balance and control. Where are you going to get the control from? Where are you going to get the balance from? Where are you going do get the confidence from?
Before thinking that you are doing wrong moves, before thinking that your ski technique is inadequate; ask yourself how good is your technique for dealing with your emotions because it is your emotional performance that creates your real life skiing technique. Not the other way around.

It is my sincere conviction that more often then not, everyone takes their thoughts for granted…never giving them a second thought. Mastery starts by applying refined thinking techniques to skiing and this is why it is so powerful.

Mastery is achieved by removing "balance wounds" from your body.

As Ski Mastery Specialists we have found that skiers are suffering from 'balance wounds' before skiing begins because their equipment throws them out of balance. So we have developed a way to restore your balance using our sophisticated alignment techniques and we do this prior to getting you on the mountain in any ski equipment that you have or hire. If you have already been aligned you get updated automatically.

Moving towards Mastery is:
· Making room by letting go of your knowledge (the coke).
· Moving your mind before moving your body… this is how you achieve unstoppable confidence, if you understand the depth of this statement and apply it to your skiing, your progress goes through the roof.
· Treating equipment induced "balance wounds" with alignment before hitting the slope because balanced thoughts can only happen in a balanced body.
· Control is the result you achieve after having first chosen your thoughts, words, actions and cured your balance wounds.

Final Note:
Ski Mastery in Val d'Isere is the natural evolution my constant quest for wanting to do things in a better way. Ski Mastery captures the dormant excellence within each of us and awakens it. We started out with Bruce Lee and we end with Albert Einstein who observed, "The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them". Isn't this newsletter about changing your level of thinking…Do you now understand how you are going to crack this sport once and for all?

See you soon for private ski instruction and alignment in Val d'Isere, and until then,
