Our final featured coach of the week was Tom Sell, the Athletic Director of the Alpine Programs at Killington Mountain School. Tom has over 25 years of ski coaching history, including his time in the 2000's with the USST coaching the World Cup Tech as well as Development level. In 2009 he returned to KMS and has been leading the charge of preparing young skiers from his program to earn spots on NCAA Division I rosters as well as the USST. A lot of what we do throughout the week for dryland preparation can be incorporated in explosive strength. Running (speed), jumping (agility), change of direction, etc. all incorporate the need for explosive movements. Today's workout consisted of A LOT of jumping (double leg, single leg, lateral, forward/back, tuck, rebound, multi-height, etc.), and we even got our box jump test in for the USSA Skills Quest data and end of week testing evaluations.
