Stance & Factors Influencing
Factors Influencing balance and stability – COG, HOG, Line, Mass
Timing / Coordination –Sequences: ex: Hip>knee>ankle / Spray a tree, Ollie obstacles
Selecting the right moment to beign or complete an action for max effect.
The Turn
Phases of a Turn –Prep, Initiate-, Execute (Draw on snow)
Turn Shape – J, C, and symmetry. - S Turns, Tornado Turns

Session 2 - On-Snow
Planning a Session
Factors to consider when planning – Who, what, where, when, how?
The six parts of a snowboard session Intro, Warm-up, Main, Cool Down, Conclusion, Reflect
Plan ‘B’
Refined Motor Skills – The Little joints
Steering – (guiding the board) Spinning (rotations). Rail to Rail, knee headlight, pilons.
Edging – angulation & how it works. Hockey stop hop, sponsor turns.
Pressure – stops, sprays, Ollie/nollie, etc.
Carving – talk about fall line, maintaining edge through turns.
Analyzing Performance
CSCP Detection & Correction Model , 6 steps
1. Set Goal – Referent Model
2. Observe & Evaluate
Where is the athlete looking? What is the snow doing (spray, turn shape, line)? Board performance?
Can link turns? Body Position - big joints, small joints.
3. Identify Causes of Error
The Six Performance Factors (EEPPTT)
Equipment, Environment, Psychological, Physical, Tactical, Technical.

Session 4 - On-Snow
Warm Up – Switch Riding
Analyzing Performance
The Rail Progression
CSCP Detection & Correction Model, 6 steps (Draw Visual) –Set Goal-Observe-*(Detection)*Identify Cause of Error-Tolerance: a) Good enough – next step
b) Not Good = Intervention (Correction)
-Back to the start
5. Correction Phase
Intervention Strategies
i. Whole-Part-Whole
ii. Guided Discovery
iii. Building Block
iv. Story Line
6. Implement Intervention
a. Seven Types of Intervention (inhibit, repeat, explain, helping, adapting,
drills based)

this, do this, you tell me)
