Get ready for a fascinating discussion from two extremely high-level coaches that will undoubtedly prove invaluable to coaches, parents and athletes alike. Joining us on The Next Turn are Paul Epstein, a long-time alpine coach and former ski racer who is the founder and CEO and Head Coach of Global Racing, and Willie Booker, also a former racer with a breadth of experience at the helm of companies like Nordica and Fischer, who has been Head of Burke Mountain Academy since 2017. Epstein and Booker candidly discuss coaching tactics, the ins and outs of coach development, analyze what might be missing in athlete development as early as the U12 level, and highlight the integral role that coaches and atmosphere play in the long-term development of athletes from both a physical and mental standpoint. As always, hosts Martin, Cara and Jeff share their “Thoughts of the Day”.
