How does Meng Xin learn skiing to find a reliable ski instructor?

Meng Xin must find a ski instructor when skiing for the first time. This article is about the idea of finding a coach, only for skiing, a personal hobby. If you want to take a professional route, you must find a professional to study.

1. See the qualification/certificate of the coach.

As a fee-paying coach, a certificate is a prerequisite. Mainly divided into foreign coach certification and domestic coach certification.

Foreign coaches are certified according to gold content from high to low:

USA-New Zealand-Australia-Canada-UK

All systems are based on 1 level, and level 3 is the top level. At present, there are only two level 3 coaches in China. The highest level in Australia and Canada is level 4, so their level 2 will be slightly weaker than other systems.

Foreign coach certification is also divided into domestic examination and foreign examination. The domestic overall exam will lose some information due to language problems (through translation), and the difficulty is relatively lower than that of foreign exams.

If you are a national post. At present, it is mainly the certification of double-board coaches. Single boards only started last year, and the number is very small. The national post grade increases downwards on the basis of five grades, with 1 being the highest. So if a single board coach says that he is a national level five, don't be influenced by numbers. Maybe he's a double-board basic coach.

As a paid student, you must choose a coach with suitable coaching qualifications, be responsible for your own money, and be more responsible for your own time. Although it is not necessarily good to have a certificate, it is not necessarily bad to have no certificate, but it is the most efficient criterion.

2. Teaching experience

This includes two aspects, one is the length of teaching time. The second is teaching experience.

Teaching time is very simple, how many years, or how many snow seasons, the longer the time, the richer the corresponding experience. Teaching experience includes whether to work in a large ski resort, and whether the teaching time mentioned above is the time of teaching alone or working in a large ski resort. Coaching is a job that requires experience. Teaching in Daxueyuan can ensure contact with a certain number of different students, which is more service than teaching independently from the beginning and can adapt to your learning progress.

3. Technical level

Skiing is a sport of sowing and harvesting. So if your coach spends enough time on this sport. he

Of course, the technology is better. Unlike skaters, coaches don't have much time to practice and improve their skills, but they should be much higher than ordinary skiers. How else can they prove that they have their own understanding of skiing? Don't know how to teach well?

On the one hand, this standard ensures that your coach has a passionate attitude towards skiing, on the other hand, it also ensures that you can learn more. You can verify the technical level of the coach by watching his video or asking him to show you his video.

4. Attitude

This includes two aspects, one is his communication attitude. The second is his teaching attitude. If your coach is recommending courses and equipment to you at any time, you can consider changing them. If your coach is always cold when communicating, or often oppresses you, you can consider changing. If your coach is angry with you because of your mistake or not being able to do what he wants, you can consider changing it.

You are a paying student, and you are here to enjoy the teaching service. Although the coach is powerful, as a professional performance, he should be able to consider the problem from the perspective of the students, rather than condescending.

5. Teaching methods

This accurate instruction should include: 1. What exercises should we do now? Second, why do you want to do this exercise? Third, how do we do this exercise? The third point can be divided into many small points, including:

Which part of the body will move? What is this part for? The range and duration of the action, etc.

If your coach will seriously explain the above contents to you, congratulations on meeting a good coach.

In addition to these, there is this: Is there a standard demonstration action? Is it timely to give feedback on your behavior? Have you adjusted your exercises according to your own situation (for example, if one method can't be done, should I change it for you)?

Have you always been encouraged (encouragement is always more meaningful than being strict)?

Do you feel safe and happy?

Many new skiers, or Xiao Bai, have just entered the pit. Having a coach is your most direct, effective and time-saving guide. I hope everyone can find a reliable coach.
