6 Day Training Programme
The following table gives a guide to how a training week is structured in terms of skiing technique, fitness and athletes awareness. Emphasis is placed on developing each individuals own strengths and encouraging each trainee to perform to the best of their ability.
Each trainee has an opportunity to discuss their future goals, the areas of training that need attention and the positive technical skills that they have achieved. At the end of training a report, written by the trainers in conjunction with the trainees, will be sent out to all parents. Kandahar Racing will keep a copy of the report and will hand them on to each training to ensure consistency of tuition and areas of development.
