Evening Activity: Ski Video and The Swimming Hole

Tonight coaches and counselors rounded up campers to fast forward to winter so we could think about skiing. All our staff at SDSC have years of experience as both racers and coaches so we were all able to add variety to the discussion. Some of our most talented counselors showed the group real videos of their best personal races. It is great for the campers to hear current older racers talk about their development, fears and strategies for success.


We went over basic technical and tactical fundamentals, common challenges and ideas for the athletes to think about. Watching video year round is critical to improvement. Watching it in the summer is especially helpful in keeping your mind focused and thinking about Ski Racing. It was really great to see the athletes connect what we're doing in our sessions to how it will help them improve on the hill.

After the video session everyone headed down to The Swimming Hole, an indoor pool featuring a waterslide, pool basketball and volleyball. Any energy left was certainly spent jumping around in the pool. Tomorrow morning Coach Eric is going to lead the team through an agility session!
