Video analysis used in other sports for me has proven extremely helpful to work on technical points/specific maneuvers or to record competition.
Skiing I've only had short clips from instructor with voice over explaining what to work on texted to me after lesson. That was easy, helpful and private. Not every instructor can be that that good with their iPhone. (btw I haven't taken many lessons). DH will randomly video me, for that I am grateful as I can use it for self analysis.
Some people really don't have a true idea of what they are doing as noted with the "pink pants" person @Skier31 described as denying it was her. Nothing like reality check of sharing video of an ass wiggling surfer on a waist high wave who said they were hitting the lip on a overhead set.
I will mention again that we all have different learning styles. For the visual learner, video can be huge.
Male or Female instructor? Ive had more male instructors in my athletic endeavors, thats just the nature of the sports I've been in. But how about the "BEST" instructor for the group and area --whether it be male or female? Rather have the instructor that was the best fit for all regardless of gender.
