“Ski Just Above Your Ability. You Will Make The Most Progress.” | Sasha Rearick - Former Us Ski Team Head Coach

In the latest episode of the Big Picture Skiing podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Sasha Rearick, former head coach of the U.S. ski team. This episode stands out as one of my favorites this year because Sasha's coaching principles are simple, effective and just make sense. Sasha is very focused on constraints-based learning which you will discover more about in the interview. He makes some great points about how to use this model in your own coaching giving examples from his experience using it. After listening to this episode, I believe you'll feel inspired and gain a clearer sense of purpose when practicing and training to improve your skiing. It's important to note that while skiing should be enjoyable and carefree, if you have a desire to enhance your skills and become a master of the slopes, you won't want to miss our discussion on constraints-based learning and its powerful impact on your improvement.To learn more about Sasha and his International Academy, visit apex2100.org or follow him on Instagram @sasharearick If you’re interested in learning from Tom Gellie and his Team at Big Picture Skiing we invite you to visit https://bigpictureskiing.com/ and give it a go FREE for 7 days.
