What do you think?
Comment CAMP if you’d like more information about our adult ski camps! ⛷️
I love coming up with creative coaching ideas to help people ski better, and this one worked surprisingly well! 😄
One of the keys to good mogul skiing is keeping your upper body quiet and stable while allowing your ankles, knees and hips to absorb and move with the terrain.
Rather than thinking about every movement individually, this drill gives you one simple focus: keep the ball balanced in the bowl. 🎾
By focusing on the ball, we found that skiers naturally developed a steadier upper body, better posture and smoother flexion and extension through the bumps.
There’s some interesting motor-learning research behind this too. Focusing on an external outcome can often help produce more natural movement patterns than consciously thinking about what every part of your body should be doing.
We had great success using this with athletes last season, and it was a lot of fun too!
Would you give this one a go? 😄
Maybe I should’ve deflated the ball a little… I’ll leave the fully inflated version to the mogul experts! 😉
