Episode 7

I’m continuing my discussion with the former National Coach and Director of Coaching for Snowsport England, John Shedden.

During research, John explored how skiers’ perceptions were affected by sensory information. This influenced his thinking about skill and the importance of developing sound habits in closed environments before applying them in more complex environments. We go onto discuss some of the differences between the ski instructing and coaching and the role of governing bodies.

An insightful episode to help instructors and coaches use a person-centred approach with their skiers.

These recordings are about the art, science and history of snowsport coaching. As a coach educator, I wanted to create resources that support a mission of inspiring participation in snow sport at every level.
