    About this ebook

    Excellent skiers influence their skis with very subtle inputs.
    These inputs are often too subtle to be seen by the untrained eye, but have very clear and obvious consequences.
    Most skiers attempt to imitate these consequences, without being aware of the subtle inputs that created them.
    This is the source of frustration, fatigue and that 'out of control' feeling.
    Once you understand the subtle inputs and use them for yourself, you will begin to create your own, excellent consequences.
    At each stage in this series of books, you will discover exactly
    what these subtle inputs are,
    why you need them and
    when, where and how to apply them.
    Just as importantly, you'll discover how to control them, shape them, adapt them and adjust them, so that they give you the control that earns you the freedom of the mountains.
    Centred balance - your number one priority
    There is a sweet spot on each ski, a place to balance, a place to be.
    Your number one priority, as a skier, is to find this place on each ski, so that you can become familiar with it, balance upon it, press through it and pivot about it.
    There are three questions that will help us get to grips with this issue:
    Where is the place?
    Why is this place so important? How do I get there?

      Centred Balance And Athletic Movement - Hugh Monney

      How Ski Performance Breakthrough will help you to improve your skiing performance

      Excellent skiing performance - what a beautiful experience!

      Free and joyful, it is powerful and yet it can appear to be effortless.

      Excellent skiers perform each curve intuitively and create unique solutions for the challenges presented at each moment.

      Great skiers literally have the freedom to create solutions as they ski.

      They earn that freedom by developing accuracy and skill with the key elements of skiing and by blending those elements into a sophisticated, coordinated whole, that fits into their environment.

      Wouldn’t it be great to have a clear pathway to achieving this wonderful experience?

      This book sets out to take you directly there.

      This series of books has been written with two groups of people clearly in mind.

      Firstly, if you are an enthusiastic skier, you will be able to transform your performance using the principles in this book.
