Today we took to the parking lot for our second skate instructional session of the week. Over the two weeks, the lesson plan for skating progresses through 4 phases. Monday we focused on Basic Athletic Stance, and today we reviewed what we did Monday and introduced Parallel Position. I saw MORE progress and fielded MORE questions and had MORE detailed conversations than ever before in my 11 years as director at SDSC. I was very proud of the kids today and they should all feel that they worked hard to improve and feel accomplished. 
To compliment our topic of the day (speed), I put the camp through a form running/speed progression on sneakers as well. Having good running form, even for skiers, will strengthen movement tracks and make dryland activities that include running more efficient and effectively open the door for better training and more gains.
