Team Training Details
Control the relationship of the center of mass to the base of support to direct pressure along the length of the ski / Develop continous movement of Center of Mass over a constantly changing base of support
Development Approaches to Training
Effective stance
Difference between moving forward being forward
Parallel reference lines shoulders/back move with shins
Maintaining perpendicularity with slope
Moving into the future of terrain and turns
Coaching Drills/Ideas
D-B2: Step and march turns
D-B3: One ski skiing with poles
D-B4: One ski skiing with out poles
D-B5: Leapers long turns to funnel short turn hops
D-B6: Leapers and or porpose turns
D-B7: Travererse hill moving to uphill leg as you extend, use direction
Tactics/Gate&Pole Drill
T-B1: Appex drill Slalom
T-B2: brushy coridor drill
T-GS-B3: GS full gate training
T-SL-B4: Slalom full gate training
T-B5: Appex drill Giant Slalom
T-B6: 1.5 Vertical brushy’s on pitch
Control edge angles through a combination of inclination and angulation / Develop independence between the inside and outside halves of the body
Development Approaches to Training
Managing offset and alignment (strong inside half)
Inside half high and forward to develop maximum edge
Skiing into and out of lead change and offset
Move inside forward and up to maximize edge angle and balancing
Coaching Drills/Ideas
D-E1: pole drag, pole level
D-E2: tuck turns
D-E3: set up rail ride to rail road track turns
D-E4: one ski turns
D-E5: crab walk, pivot crab walk
D-E6: Outside / outside ski
D-E7: Skate to shape to short turns
D-E8: pivot side slips to edge set.
Tactics/Gate&Pole Drill
T-E1: Appex drill Slalom
T-GS-E3: GS full gate training
T-SL-E4: Slalom full gate training
T-E5: Appex drill Giant Slalom
T-E6: 1.5 Vertical brushy’s on pitch
Control the skis rotation with leg rotation, separate from upper body / Develop independence between the upper and lower halves of the body
Development Approaches to Training
Turning legs under strong stable core
Separation in hip socket and role of hips in rotate.
Legs / skis turn more than upper body.
Selectively adjust the degree of pivoting/steering to suit terrain and task
Coaching Drills/Ideas
D-R1: Short radius turns in brushy corridor
D-R2: hop turns, porpoise turns
D-R3: Four corners focused on woods, turn feet first maintain woods
D-R5: Pivot side slips
Tactics/Gate&Pole Drill
T-R1: Appex drill Slalom
T-GS-R3: GS full gate training
T-SL-R4: Slalom full gate training
T-R5: Appex drill Giant Slalom
T-R6: 1.5 Vertical brushy’s on pitch
Control pressure from ski to ski and direct pressure to the outside ski / develop flexion and extension to manage the flow of pressure / energy to the skis
Development Approaches to Training
Managing the flow of pressure from ski to ski
Late pressure vs early pressure
Progressively increasing and decreasing with leg length/ edge angle changes
Coaching Drills/Ideas
D-P1: Travererse hill moving to uphill leg as you extend, use direction
D-P3: inflation deflation turns
D-P4: hop to shape, pivot turns
Tactics/Gate&Pole Drill
T-P1: Appex drill Slalom
T-GS-P3: GS full gate training
T-SL-P4: Slalom full gate training
T-P5: Appex drill Giant Slalom
T-P6: 1.5 Vertical brushy’s on pitch
