Opis

SKIING IS A GAME. Pedagogical and biomechanical foundations of learning to ski

Authors: Rado Pišot, Ron Kipp & Matej Supej

4rd print

Ski instruction methods vary based on individual needs, but the ultimate goal remains to teach students how to ski safely and effectively down the slope. Learning to ski begins with stopping and basic turns, while all other skills build upon these fundamentals with a focus on timing, accuracy, rhythm, speed, and softness. Play has always been a fundamental part of human development, making learning more enjoyable, engaging, and effective. In ski instruction, integrating games enhances the learning process while ensuring safety and skill progression, especially for young skiers. Since diverse exercises are essential, instructors must carefully select and organize games to align with learning goals. While modern lifestyles expose children to daily stress, competition should not be entirely avoided, as it can motivate and inspire those with the potential to excel. To minimize negative effects, all participants should be rewarded, reinforcing progress and fostering a positive learning experience. When balanced correctly, competition enhances motivation, making ski instruction more effective and enjoyable for children. Ski schools are vital for developing children’s motor skills, with instructors using games to support their cognitive, emotional, and social growth. Play should be a key part of each ski lesson, helping children stay motivated and continue in the sport.

“Parents, instructors and coaches will find Skiing is a Game a treasure. While instilling a love of the outdoors children learn the basics of healthy lifestyle, sport and skill development in a playful atmosphere. The presentation and content are completely in synchronization with the basic principles of children’s alpine skiing development with a focus on: fun, fundamentals and fitness.” Walt Evans, National Competition Director, United States Ski and Snowboard Association                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

“To present skiing in a way that ensures an adequate and quality professional approach, provides insight into the basic pedagogical and biomechanical knowledge necessary for teaching, and at the same time motivates the reader to learn to ski, is not an easy task. The authors of Skiing is a Game have certainly succeeded in achieving just that.” Prof. Milan Žvan, PhD, Dean of Faculty of Sport, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia
