NIM Alpine Connecting the Pieces: Technical Knowledge
Description: In this clinic, participants will explore the connection between technical knowledge, application, and how it fits (and doesn't fit!) into our lessons. Technical talk helps us, as instructors, understand the movements and outcomes we see, but the detailed descriptions don't necessarily have a place in our lessons.
Technical Skills Clinic, 2 hour blocks, On-Snow. Qualifies as Continuing Education. Open to all certification levels.
Terrain: Participants should be prepared to ski in blue and black groomed and ungroomed terrain, as the group/clinic topic requires.
Continuing Education Goal: Impact overall performance through improved understanding and application of the alpine technical fundamentals.
Clinic Outcomes: By the end of this clinic, participants will:
• Receive feedback on personal performance related to the Alpine Technical Fundamentals.
• Integrate new and/or enhanced technical skills into their skiing.
• Have new resources that support independent practice.
Clinic Experiences:
• The clinic leader and participants will collaborate to determine a relevant goal related to technical knowledge and application skills.
• The clinic leader will demonstrate how to apply specific aspects of technical knowledge to movement analysis and performance descriptions.
• Participants will practice applying their technical knowledge to both their performance and others in isolation and/or in combination with other skills.
• The clinic leader and participants will collaborate to identify specific experiences created by a variety of descriptions that will inform effective practice.
• The clinic leader will facilitate reflection about the day's goal and other relevant experiences.
