KST A to Z
Skiing injury

I take care of some members of the Swiss Ski Team. I explain to all my athletes the importance of body balance for best performance.
To improve their racing, I have them think about the heat and have them imagine skiing while I ask the body what I need to correct for their best performance.
I asked them to imagine skiing in other ways, skiing a gate faster and all the while checking when the body was out of balance.
The result was they are able to race while feeling relaxed and in control. They had a great race at the downhill race in Beaver Creek.
