Ski Diva Extraordinaire
I have been teaching full time for 10 or so years and I often wonder about our students and their true experiences and thoughts about the many lessons they take. Most of us are comfortable stating the positive, but less so the negative. This forum seems like the perfect place to learn more about the times we felt let down and what led up to that feeling.
While most of us look for very different things in a lesson (to be pushed beyond our comfort zone, to be taken to easier runs to learn good technique, to have fun, to be safe, to familiarize ourselves with a new mountain, etc...) I think we all have an idea about what made a great lesson, even if it did not always end with a skiing epiphany.
Looking forward to hearing what other Ski Divas have to share for myself and other instructors to learn from.
Averaging 40 plus hours a season of coaching/instruction I have my own ideas...but really want yours!
Thanks
