PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT DAY:

Register HERE

Come join us on October 22nd at Palisades Tahoe, Olympic Valley, for our Professional Development Day. It will be a day of great speakers, community building, and the opportunity to meet our new CEO, Marisa Cooper!

This year our speakers feature our amazing regional talent; Ron Kipp, Reva Rogers-Powell, and Carol Levine.

Ron Kipp: Technical Understanding – Efficiency in Movement

Technique, and therefore our teaching, involves actions like flexion, extension, bone stacking, etc. While as skilled professionals, we are rather resistant to fatigue, our days may be long, and definitely, our clients can suffer from long runs and long days. We will cover the physiological ramifications of ski actions by looking at two popular turn transition techniques.

Reva Rogers-Powell: People Skills – Surviving the Ski Season

How to fuel your body to optimize performance and avoid illness during long days and peak ski periods. We will discuss nutrition needs for maintaining a healthy immune system and how requirements change based on activity, altitude, and life stages.

Carol Levine: Teaching Skills – Feedback – The Receiver’s Perspective

Explore research and concepts to better understand the power of receiving feedback well (whether we accept it or not) and develop strategies for productive feedback interactions.
