My last post seemed a bit doomy and gloomy, I forgot to talk about some of the cooler aspects of the snow school. The level of training is pretty sweet. Like I mentioned earlier I was trained to teach how to ski for 1.5 days with a level 4 ski instructor. It was pretty awesome knowing the school want to help develop their staff and provide more opportunity for them by doing things like these.
After morning meetings we generally have around an hour before 10am lesson line up and this time is used to run teaching clinics. I have attended 2 so far, both were presented really well - one was my Rob G around the importance of setting up the equipment of clients correctly so that each and every movement is follwed by a response. It makes it easier for the client to ride and our jobs easier to teach. So at the beginning of every lesson we need to check the clients equipment. It made complete sense. The second clinic was a couple of days ago and was presented by my housemate Chris H - supported by another trainer Jake Levy. It was a good interactive session to discuss different ways of teaching beginner progression so we dont go stale. It was well presented and I learnt a lot about different activities to bring into my teaching lesson.
Its just a little brainwave I had last night that I thought I would mention for sure.
Peace out people.
