What is your opinion about the methods I used here? If you are an instructor do you follow the same script or try out different things with your students? Lets us know in the comments.
I loved hearing you selecting a superior student to go in the middle of the group to recalibrate the next lot of followers that would otherwise have long forgotten the original line or requirement
Technically, this is spot on. You guys are so good at making the the tech clear. I am curious about how to help my students to overcome the fear of "round turns". To steal from a student that was getting it after days on pretty flat terrain making round turns, "It's like faster faster faster, I get to oh my god! but now I know the ahhhh is coming!" There is a psycology to it.
Of course from a student/customer point of view, they're oblivious to the fact that you mix things up one group to the next, but keeping it fresh for the instructor is a great way to avoid falling into a rut and ending up going through the motions and maybe even getting bored!
I'm curious what the objective of this on snow session was? How was it determined? Was it what Paul wanted (round turn shape) or what the students wanted (Were they even asked?) Was there an assessment of their individual skills that Paul could then build on to achieve the objective? There is no script to teaching skiing as its an open skilled sport. Every lesson is different based on the students standing in front of you. Determining what they want to do or learn is an important aspect of ski instruction. A student focussed session always produces better results vs. an instructor focused session....

Pleased you are enjoying the series and hope the next episodes make things more clear.
As a ski learner, I found it is very clear to follow through. 😃
I’m pleased it makes sense. Stay tuned for the next part and I hope it helps your skiing this season.
Good explanations! 👍
Glad it was helpful!

Thanks again for your input and thoughts. Perhaps when we star our new series in a few days we can discuss at depth your comment as it is very good.
