Introduction to the SKIbetter 1-to-1 Coaching System
I introduced this system many years ago,
- has a proven to be very successful,
- has formed the bedrock and foundation of many successful ski racers, advanced recreational skiers, instructors and coaches,
- has played a major part of producing many individual and team successes,
- many members of the Midlands Ski Club, CESA Region and other School teams have benefited,
- over the years has contributed to the creation of many local, regional, national individual and team champions.
It has evolved from a purely paper based system to the current offering today using various latest technologies to support the learning experience. I am currently moving to a new online system to take the programme forward in to the future that will include fitness as well as skiing race and recreational skill, and performance development, as I believe skill development, performance delivery, fitness and conditioning are deeply intertwined.

Structure
The SKIbetter personal 1-to-1 coaching system can be tailored to the individual in terms of number of sessions when, where, how often etc. my base offering as an example is:
- Four quarterly 2 hour coaching development and performance sessions per year would be ideal but more typically this ends up being 3 times per year.
- These would be spread out across the year depending on your requirements, typically:
- October
- January
- April
- August
- Additional sessions can be arranged to cover incidents such as
- Reintroduction to skiing after injury
- Getting used to new equipment
- Overcoming dips in performance
- Extra pre-event preparation, on snow or in the alpine environment
- Direct personalised coaching
- Race support
- Secure online recording and feedback using the SKIbetter Online System and/or Dropbox account using a parent/adult email account unless specifically authorised and will incur an annual subscription charge.
Costs
There are multiple elements to consider, some not in SKIbetter's control:
- Facility Hire (Swadlincote/Ackers Adventure/Chil Factore etc.)
- Myself (SKIbetter Performance Coaching), I charge pro rata by the hour.
- Each session is generally two hours long per person but can be longer or shorter depending on the situation.
- SKIbetter Online System subscription charge.
- Other charges: non-local transport, accommodation etc.
I am happy to discuss any other options and provide any other additional information so please do not hesitate to ask.
