Downhill ski technique, step by step by Janos Koranyi Pdf

This book is especially written for all insecure skiers in the first place. If you think, that you are a beginner or an intermediate skier, this book is thought to be the right choice for you. But everyone, interested in understanding, developing, learning and teaching downhill skiing can benefit from this work. I have been working on this material since 2010 and the work is still going on. My basic point is, that you should prepare yourself, before you go to ski. It is too late to make your mental preparation on the slopes, this should be done at home before. You should be able to imagine for yourself what you must do in order to do it right or as good as possible. This imagination should not be just a picture! It should be like a whole movie, with many of your senses involved, just like in a detailed dream. Like, if you can imagine the whole ski-turn with many, clear details, what basic movements you have to do, how it should feel in your body, how it should look like, how it should change during the development of your turn, this will prepare your correct movements in the real life. But this must happen step by step, starting by the easiest skills and developing further when you have tried out the first steps first. For this reason I have divided the material in 3 different levels. You will need quite a long time for this. So please be patient, take your time, work with my book, do not just read it! Understanding and explaining skiing is complicated and it takes time. My suggestion is to read carefully, take several breaks and think carefully about the sections you find difficult to understand. If you are a beginner, start reading the book as soon as possible before your start your skiing. You can stop reading after the beginner level and go skiing on green and blue slopes.

Whispering Snow by Steve Harris Pdf

“Pssst...want to know some secrets most skiers never hear? Come walk with me.” What do downhill skiing and martial arts have in common? Quite a lot as it turns out. Whispering Snow applies seven key secrets from the martial arts to skiing to help you master your learning path. Ski tips and lessons need a framework and this is it. Third-degree black belt and Level Two CSIA ski instructor Steve Harris imparts decades of experience in a way meant to inspire all levels of skiers to go beyond the “how” and dig into the “why” of skiing. This guide helps students to find their way, or Tao, in skiing by incorporating essential lessons about: • Zen harmony with your skis; • how to achieve a “flow” state; • skill-building in a spiral; • a Yin and Yang approach to movement; • rhythm and timing; • learning by feeling; • mindfulness; and, • most importantly, how to relax and have fun. Steve’s unique approach covers how to build both mental and motor skills for tackling the slopes in a way that turns learning challenges into “AH-HA” moments. By implementing the seven key learning principles explored in this book, you too can transcend your skiing skills and soon be flowing on your next run down the hill.

Skiing Made Easy by David P Mitchell Pdf

Skiing Made Easy is a practical guide to learning to ski, based on many happy seasons of ski teaching in France. It starts with a chapter about putting on your skis and boots, then goes through a beginner's progression from snowplough to parallel turns. I suggest relevant exercises to develop and improve your skills, and identify common faults and how to correct them. 'By the way' sections contain information about many of the little things that people often just assume you know, when you may not. Most of the demonstrations are performed by expert skier Marina Michaud. The book assumes no prior knowledge, so it will be suitable for complete beginners, and people who are in the early stages of learning to ski. Even if you've been skiing lots of times, though, you'll understand more clearly why you use certain techniques, and you'll probably learn things you never knew before. For an experienced skier who is planning to help a novice friend or family member, this book could be invaluable. New in 2020: I've updated the book with new, improved images and diagrams. Happy skiing!

It’S About Skiing and Not the Skis by Jay Eacker Pdf

People have been skiingand no doubt teaching others to do the samefor thousands of years. The earliest evidence for it is a picture on the wall of a cave in Norway that was drawn sometime around 4500 BC. Skiing is something that we do. It is a behavior. Teaching others to ski is also something that we do. It, too, is a behavior. Pavlov and his dog helped to demonstrate that behavior is lawful and orderly. Various forms of conditioning as well as reinforcement, generalization, discrimination, punishment, and extinction change behavior. But why do we ski and teach others to do the same? These behaviors can also be accounted for, but no one has done ituntil now. Develop a better understanding of why we ski and become a better skier or ski instructor in the process. Youll gain a greater appreciation of the sport once you discover Its About Skiing and Not the Skis.

Special Forces Berlin by James Stejskal Pdf

The previously untold story of a Cold War spy unit, “one of the best examples of applied unconventional warfare in special operations history” (Small Wars Journal). It is a little-known fact that during the Cold War, two US Army Special Forces detachments were stationed far behind the Iron Curtain in West Berlin. The existence and missions of the two detachments were highly classified secrets. The massive armies of the Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact allies posed a huge threat to the nations of Western Europe. US military planners decided they needed a plan to slow the expected juggernaut, if and when a war began. This plan was Special Forces Berlin. Their mission—should hostilities commence—was to wreak havoc behind enemy lines and buy time for vastly outnumbered NATO forces to conduct a breakout from the city. In reality, it was an ambitious and extremely dangerous mission, even suicidal. Highly trained and fluent in German, each of these one hundred soldiers and their successors was allocated a specific area. They were skilled in clandestine operations, sabotage, and intelligence tradecraft, and were able to act, if necessary, as independent operators, blending into the local population and working unseen in a city awash with spies looking for information on their every move. Special Forces Berlin left a legacy of a new type of soldier, expert in unconventional warfare, that was sought after for other deployments, including the attempted rescue of American hostages from Tehran in 1979. With the US government officially acknowledging their existence in 2014, their incredible story can now be told—by one of their own.
