How To Ski Better With The Five Games Of Skiing

Are you aware there are five games of skiing that all contribute to how well you'll ski this season?

The five games of skiing are...

The Ski Fit Body Game
The Ski Equipment Game
The Ski Movement Understanding Game
The Mind Game
The Ski Movement Mastery Game

No wonder skiing is so much fun!

Over the coming months we'll look into all these areas to see where we can make the biggest improvements in your skiing.

Now if you improve one of the games, you'll enjoy more skiing success. But if you can make improvements in more than one area, then your skiing will begin to improve geometrically.

Why?

The simple answer is because each game is interconnected. So when you improve one element of your skiing game, then there's a positive flow through effect into many of the other games as well. This is nature's way of rewarding you for a ‘good job'.

Let me give you an example.

Let's look at improving your skiing confidence, which is part of the mind game, and how it can be improved by improving some of the other games.

Let's take a look at couple of months forward from now, for those of you in the southern hemisphere, and let's look six months ahead for those of you in the northern hemisphere.

Let's see ourselves preparing to take your fist run of the ski new season.

The snow is fresh, light and early season dry. The sun is out. The sky is deep blue, not a breath of wind. The run is exceedingly quiet, there isn't a snowboarder in sight.

You look around, take a deep breath and a moment to smile and reflect on all the things you have improved to get you to this point.

During this moment you look back at the pre season work you have done on the various ski improvement games.

You look back and reflect on...

The ski fit body game, and how you improved your muscle flexibility & strength, balance and cardiovascular fitness... Standing atop the hill feeling ski fit, strong and powerful you know your body is ready to ski well.

The ski equipment game where you improved your ski tune, boots, footbeds, liners, indoor alignment or purchased that new slalom ski to build that bullet-proof short turn so you can take on the bumps this season. As you look down at your perfect ski equipment setup you know your equipment is ready to ski well.

In the ski movement understanding game you remind yourself of the camps, lessons, ski books, ski DVD's, chat groups and notes you experienced or reviewed to build your solid game plan for making your first run. As you look down the slope and prepare to go, you confirm with yourself, yes I am clear on what I need to do / move to ski well.

Realising these three areas are ‘good to go' your confidence is understandably very high, so your mind game, the confidence part, is also improved as a bonus for the great work you have done in the other areas.

So now with four improved games, body, equipment, understanding, and confidence you set off to play in the last of the five games... The ski movement mastery game.

And thanks to nature's multiplier effect, if you look after your other ski games then you'll be well on your way to skiing better as you've given yourself every opportunity of reaching the next level.

I figured this could be timely reminder for you to consider thinking about how tight your ski games are and encourage you to look at and highlight the areas of your game you know you can improve on.

As there's still time to make a start, and set yourself up, for the greatest chance of success to ski better this coming winter.

So which game could you begin working on today?

Your Ski Fit Body Game
Your Ski Equipment Game
Your Ski Movement Understanding Game
Your Mind Game
Your Ski Movement Mastery Game

Drop me a line and let me know what you are currently or would like to work on, so you can employ nature's multiplier effect to help bring your skiing to the next level.

And finally, a word of caution.

Just as there is a positive multiplier effect from nature, there's also a reverse / negative multiplier effect as well. The reverse / negative multiplier effect happens when you let things slide.

If you put off your ski fit training. If you put off looking after your equipment. If you put off improving your understanding. If you put off improving your mind game. Then it will be a lot tougher to ski better, than it need be, this season.

The choice is yours.

As always, it's up to you.
