The Goddess Approach


ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE PHRASE “Skiing is 80% in your head”?
I’D LIKE TO DEBUNK THAT MYTH

What have your holidays been like? Somewhere between “Could be a bit more enjoyable” to “Complete disaster!”?  Organising a ski trip can be hard work, especially with kids in tow. It can be a mission getting to the resort, sorting out ski equipment amidst the crowds, making it on to the slopes and only just in time for the morning lesson! And then you’re whisked off to an icy blue or narrow red and told “don’t be nervous – it’s all in your head!”

Mais NON! It’s all about technique. You haven’t had time to even say Bonjour to your legs, let alone get your whole body to do what it did on your best ski day last year. Confidence comes from having a solid awareness of good technique and the ability to use it. When this happens, you enter a different world of stability and smoothness. From here, you can relax, enjoy the sensations, be agile and have more fun.

Skiing is 80% good technique. Of course, if your technique is poor, then skiing really is 80% in your head—because it takes serious guts to come down a mountain on two slidey planks hoping strength and luck will keep you upright!


SO WHY SKI TRAINING SPECIFICALLY FOR WOMEN?

Men & Women are Different…

And we learn differently from men.  We absorb information differently.  We assess a situation differently.  We attempt new things with a different approach.  We also have a stronger, built-in instinct to protect ourselves generally speaking.

I get it…

At Ski Goddess I completely understand the reasons why you want to learn the right way and improve your skiing.  It’s with these reasons in mind that  I have tailored the courses to suit the way you, as a woman and also as an individual, learn best.

This is why…

Women are bio-mechanically different from men and so need to do things differently. When faced with physical challenges, women prefer to process skills more thoroughly than men.

Men often use that bit of extra strength and/or testosterone over skill. Both men and women can reach the same level of skiing given the same amount of time as long as the approach to learning is apt.

How We Approach These Issues

  • We have a look at hip, knee and feet alignment and focus on moving these slightly differently through the turns which has a huge impact on improving our balance
  • We make sure we really understand techniques and practice them on easy terrain before testing them where it really counts
  • We work on having excellent technique so that we don’t need to rely on force
  • We leave husbands, partners, friends and children at home so that we can concentrate on our skills in a group of like minded ladies.
  • We take care of all the holiday aspects for you so you have nothing to think about but your skiing and having fun!

Each ski session is designed to make you feel relaxed, positive, excited, happy, confident and looking forward to more!!
