This morning we had our final instructional session of SDSC, led by guest coach Alissa Consenstein. Alissa is the U16 coach at Green Mountain Valley School, but has previously coached at Stratton and served as the Eastern Competition Manager for the United States Ski Association.
Alissa took us through a great warm-up that included stretching our ankles, something that we often forget to do but something that is crucial for today's explosion session. After that we split up into multiple stations, all focusing power and explosive movements. Alissa encouraged all of us to think about really sticking our landings then exploding upwards when we jumped, and incorporated elements into each station that connected their minds and coordination to their body movements. Campers had to catch balls while exploding through ladders, or adjust to different sized hurdles with single or double legged hops.It was a hot morning and it was pretty clear that many of the kids have been working really hard for the last week or two. We had quite a few tired legs at the beginning, but the campers all rallied and truly have been absolute stars all week. Mountain biking this afternoon!
