More Visual Training For Thanksgiving Break

Happy Thanksgiving!
Hope you all had a wonderful day with family and friends.   
For those who want to put in some time understanding the intricate movements patterns of top level alpine ski racers, watch and study the videos linked below. For our coaches and varsity level skiers, be sure to watch the Deb Armstrong video with River Radamus. It is very insightful, not just about technique, but also regarding tactics and how to approach our sport with the proper mental framework.

Enjoy. I will be sending out an update on Sunday. Be sure to check your inbox Sunday evening.
