Thank you, LF!
"The best way to learn, is to teach"
This sentence has been repeated so many times in the past and, to say the truth, I have put it into practice already becoming an inline skating L1 instructor.
But tomorrow I will go one step further, tomorrow I'll leave for Austria to attend an L1 ski instructor clinic.
This will be a multi year long journey down the knowledge path, with at the end of the road the full cert L3, eurotest and eurosecurite'.
Wish me luck.
And plenty of feedback I'm having.
As I was saying in the other thread, our Ego and self esteem (as skiers) has gone down the drain
Two days of completely dismantling our skiing, and they aren't done, yet.
I hope they'll be able to rebuild us before Saturday morning when the exam will take place...we shall see
Btw these guys are good, and drive us really hard. Being part of the Slovenian demo team, I wouldn'd expect anything less.
And they deliver, oh yes they deliver very high training and education, high quality as well.
Unfortunately, it has turned out that they do speak little to no italian, and an interpreter is always there with us (another Slovenian instructor, belonging to the organization)
I am, anyway, requiring, now and then, direct feedback in english to our coach.
I am so sorry to have missed the fact that PSIA (and CSIA as well) is offering the same kind of clinics, but, well too bad for me
Congratulations !!!!!!!!!!
Where will you be teaching?
Thanks LF and Jlly!Congrats too!! Sounds like it was a good week all around
I did not know I could do it until the time came at the exam, I had tried testing those turnsthe day before without much results. As such I barely managed to make the minim amount of required turns (and quality) to score positive marks. I.guess that something between the two days clicked in ("when the going gets though..." and all that)...We don't do Spiess turns until Level 3! Very good for you...
Might be why I cannot do them!
