Ski In Control, by Bob Valentine Trueman, is a skiing message of hope, that addresses the most common issue for recreational skiers - that of progressing to advanced and expert levels. Commercial ski schools worldwide employ a teaching model intended to convert non skiers into 'sort of' skiers but which leads the majority of skiers onto a low "plateau" of ability from which it is extremely difficult to escape. Ski schools are after all an element of the tourism industry. They are not in the business of teaching advanced skills.Bad skiing habits are inculcated early on, and are very difficult to shake-off. Giving up skiing lessons and just "getting the miles in" make this worse not better. Practice does not make perfect: practice makes permanent. More and more skiers are getting frustrated by this, and going home disappointed in their skiing. They are seeking something different and better."Ski In Control" addresses that need through a coaching model developed for elite performers. Coaching and instruction are fundamentally different. The book explains in simple terms how skiing works: why it comes about. It uses clear explanations and every-day analogies and metaphors to help skiers of all ages, yes including retirees, of both genders, to access Olympic level learning techniques both mental and technical to achieve skiing in full control on any piste, anywhere."Ski In Control" covers how to control your mind; how to handle fear; how to train your self; how to bring about change; and why so many ski instructions you have been given are simply wrong. Most of all the book explains that many skiers' progress is halted by ideas picked up in ski schools about what skiing is , that are the exact opposite of the reality. Most surprising for many is that skiing in control is NOT a game of sliding about on snow. There is more to it than that."Ski in Control" borrows from Trueman's decades of experience and success at changing skiers' beliefs in their own potential. Some skiers do not care how they ski provided they cover a great deal of ground and visit plenty of bars; nothing wrong with that, but others want very much to enjoy executing control and refined mastery of their skiing. It is for those recreational skiers that this book has been written; for folk who want to do it better." Ski In Control" shows that this approach works for any skier, any age, either gender. It shows how the skier needs just three things in place - to want it, to come to believe it is possible, and then to be willing to persist. The "Ski In control" process has proven equally successful for women recreational skiers of all ages, as well as men.
