Our day
started with a 7:00am warm-up jog with some group stretching in the halfway
through the jog. I pretty much despise
jogging but I must admit it was nice to get out there first thing in the morning
to get the blood flowing. Today was the
first day on GS skis and the coaching staff was certainly impressed with the
girls ability to make the transition from SL skis to GS skis. We spent the morning doing a variety of
drills working on body position, stance, and movement. The morning session was from 9:00am to
11:30am and they finished up with a couple of free runs trying to implement the
skills we worked on with the drills into their GS skiing. Again, the coaches were impressed with the
strides many of the athletes were making throughout the morning.
After
lunch, we went back out to the training lane where the girls were paired with
a “training buddy.” We had a short
afternoon session in which the girls skied every run with their buddy and they
were tasked with “learning about your buddy” while continuing on our morning progression. Following skiing we finished up our day with
a core session.
So far the weather has been amazing and it looks like it is going to continue…athletes will be coming home with some solid goggle tans!
