Alpine Coaching Race Academy

<body> <p>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them</p> Mission Statement <P>All serious athletes plan their year to peak for important competitions. Athlete plans take into account physical and developmental differences between age groups.</P> <P>At Alpine Coaching Academy our periodised programs are designed to help each individual to peak for major races, whilst allowing time for adequate rest and recovery. On and off snow training phases are properly sequenced to achieve peak performance when it counts. </P> <P>We use the Canadian Ski Coaches Federation recommended ratio of gates, free skiing and racing in the design of training programs relevant to each racers age group. </P> <P>We currently operate the following programs: </P> <P>Entry Level Program Austria </P> <P>K1 & K2 Program Austria </P> <P>F.I.S.

Coaching philosophies and program continuity are carefully monitored by the Head Coaches as these are essential elements to the success of our programs.</P> Alpine Coaching Race Academy “All serious athletes plan their year to peak for important competitions” Programs <P>Program Outline</P> <P>The focus of the program is to maximize quality time on snow. However, efficient fitness and psychological training are fundamental to achieving overall success. We therefore take a unique approach that takes into account individual needs and is flexible enough to meet changing circumstances. </P> <P>Our 'time banking' system is fundamental to our programs success. Each day our coaches allocate time to either on snow training, or fitness and schooling depending on the weather and snow conditions. This time allocation is recorded and banked daily by the athletes. Time that is banked is monitored to ensure that the correct program ratios are met. </P> <P>Entry Level, K1 & K2 Children and F.I.S. Athlete Program Austria These programs combine the above training elements with schoolwork support to provide a holistic program. The aim of these programs is that every two weeks we complete 40 hours of on snow training, 15 hours of fitness training and 30 hours of schoolwork support. </P> <P>Training and Race Camps Australia. </P> <P>Our Training and Race Camps in Australia allow athletes the chance to train on snow in the summer. Children also have the chance to participate in the Southern Hemisphere Local, National and F.I.S. races. </P> <P>Development Camp Austria. </P> <P>Athletes from Australia can choose to join any of our European programs for a season or a block of training during the Australian school holidays. </P> On Snow <P>On Snow Training</P> “A combination of three on snow training elements will produce a highly skilled athlete” <P>Technical skills </P> <P>Our coaches develop the necessary technical skills required for success. These skills are learnt and developed in a simple and sequenced approach. Mastering certain skills is essential before the athlete can move on to others. Technical skills are learnt outside gates. A highly skilled athlete, not just one who has practiced a lot of gates, will achieve success. </P> <P>Gate Training </P> <P>Whilst technical skills are learnt outside the gates they must then be patterned in the gates to develop tactical awareness and a fast race line. Gate training is properly sequenced from simple to complex and peaks in intensity for important races. This approach ensures athletes learn in a positive environment, which builds self-confidence. The use of turn markers, stubby poles, simple gate corridors and full race simulations are all part of well planned gate training. </P> <P>Timed Race Simulation </P> <P>The timer never lies, so race simulations are the best means of seeing if the new skills and tactics translate into increased speed. Race Simulations are also a great way to prepare mentally for the stress of race days. Our “Brower bib ID” timing system is the latest wireless timing technology and is user friendly and accurate. </P> Training Pistes “From exclusive-use training pistes to purpose built training stadiums” <P>Austrian Training Areas </P> <P>During the autumn and spring we train on the Hintertux Glacier. There are 5 main pistes utilized for training, varying in pitch from almost flat to steep. From December to April, we have the opportunity to share a training piste with a local Austrian race club. This training piste is available to club members and the Alpine Coaching Race Academy. When not training on this piste we have the option of using 5 other specific training pistes in the area including those used for speed training. In nearby Niederau there is a speed training piste for Super-G and Downhill. This piste is closed to the public and has safety netting. </P> <P>F.I.S. Training Areas </P> <P>In Addition to the above Training pistes our F.I.S. Team will travel to purpose built stadia in Austria and Italy for 2-3 weeks per month. These venues provide us with safe, public free training areas with quick turn around times and, most importantly, hard, artificial snow. Here Super-G and Downhill disciplines are introduced in a safe manner and in an environment suitable to the skill level of the athlete. </P> <P>Australian Training Areas </P> <P>In Australia we train at two of the top Victorian Alps resorts of Falls Creek and Mt. Hotham. Falls Creek has excellent gate training pistes with good snow making areas. Mt. Hotham provides athletes with the necessary challenging free skiing terrain. </P> Racing Program <P>K1 & K2 Racing </P> <P>Our Athletes in this program should aim to compete in 15-20 races per year.<BR>The races available to 7-14 year olds are:<BR>English Championships<BR>British Championships<BR>B.A.R.S.C.

Liaison with the home school via email and phone will ensure adequate work is completed on time. The chalet is equipped with wireless broadband Internet so that research and schoolwork can be completed online. </P> <P>Tutoring hours </P> <P>To maintain schoolwork at the required standard it is essential that enough time is allocated to tutoring. Our program allocates 30 hours every 2 weeks to tutoring. If any student needs extra tutoring then that time will be found. Our policy is that schooling must be maintained at the appropriate level within our program. </P> <P>Monitoring </P> <P>Detailed Reports at the end of each training block will be e-mailed to the athletes parents and the school. </P> <P>Holiday Periods </P> <P>Throughout holiday periods, children will have a break from schooling and will focus on their fitness and on snow training. </P> Alpine Coaching Race Academy Fitness And Physical Preparation Athlete Fitness “An athletes fitness is an integral component of performance training” Fitness Testing <P>We conduct regular fitness tests on our athletes. This testing is conducted approximately every 5 weeks. This allows enough time for training adaptation to take place. </P> <P>Fitness testing is important for athletes as it: </P> <OL>· Enables the coach to predict future performance<BR>· Indicates athlete weaknesses<BR>· Measures improvement over time<BR>· Enables coaches to measure the success of the training program<BR>· Places the athlete in the correct training group and motivates the athlete </OL> <P>Our program incorporates various elements of fitness training: </P> <P>Energy Systems </P> <P>Training all 3 energy systems; aerobic, anaerobic and short burst energy is planned within our program, since they are all needed in Alpine Ski Racing. Age specific training ratios and the period of the program determine the focus of the training sessions. </P> <P>Flexibility</P> <P>Flexibility training is part of all of our sessions. The warm up uses a dynamic range of movement stretching and at the end of each session the warm down always finishes with stretching to increase range of movement and reduce the chance of muscle injury. </P> <P>Agility, Balance, and Coordination</P> <P>It is important that these skills are learnt between the ages of 8 to 15 years to prepare for further success as an adult. Fun obstacle courses, gymnastics and agility pylometrics form the basis of this training. </P> <P>Resistance Training is an integral part of our program; training sessions are focused on either hypertrophy, power or maximum strength depending on the time of year and the athletes physical development stage. For the younger athletes appropriate resistance training skills are the focus. </P> <P>The Natural Environment</P> <P>The great outdoors is our other training ground, with activities including mountain biking, jogging and hiking. </P> <P>Swimming Pool </P> <P>Swimming is a great activity for both aerobic and recovery sessions.</P> Athletes Performance<BR>Monitoring Tools "By monitoring an athletes performance we can focus on an athletes strengths and weaknesses" Fitness Facilities “State of the art fitness facilities available locally” <P>We have access to excellent fitness facilities in both Austria and Australia all of which are available locally. In order to provide the complete fitness program we utilize the following facilities to assist with our training. </P> <P>Fitness Centre </P> <P>Local fitness centres provide necessary resistance and strength training facilities through the use of state of the art equipment. </P> <P>Aerobics and Fitball Rooms </P> <P>Local fitness centres provide space and equipment for our balance and coordination sessions. </P> <P>Sports Hall </P> <P>Team games such as soccer, basketball and hockey can be played in local sports halls. These are also the base of our pylometrics and gymnastics sessions. </P> <P>The Natural Environment </P> <P>The great outdoors is our other training ground, with activities including mountain biking, jogging and hiking. </P> <P>Swimming Pool </P> <P>Swimming is a great activity for both aerobic and recovery sessions. </P> Athlete Health <P>Body, Mind and Soul</P> A Holistic approach to total health” <P>Nutrition</P> <P>The fuel to perform at the highest level is of major importance to an athlete. Nutrition education helps our athletes to perform and stay healthy to maximize training time. Nutrition diaries help our athletes self monitor their food and ensure sufficient calorie intake and a balanced diet. The menus we serve our athletes are balanced and appetizing. Of course, individual needs are catered for. </P> <P>Hydration</P> <P>Hydration is another key factor in being able to perform at the highest level. The nutrition diaries help to self-monitor intakes. During our on and off snow sessions we have a policy of “No drink bottle: No training” </P> <P>Breathing Techniques </P> <P>Breathing techniques have an important role to play in the mindset of an athlete. Peak performance is only achieved when the athletes mental and physical state is at the right point.</P> <P>Self Talk & Focusing </P> <P>These are other important factors in the development of self-belief, confidence and concentration. </P> <P>Visual Imaging</P> <P>Our coaches will help our athletes to use imaging in many different situations to help improve their performance. </P> <P>Recovery </P> <P>Athletes need to learn and implement appropriate recovery techniques. Hydrotherapy, Sport Massage, Recovery Nutrition and Hydration, Active and Pro-active rest are all techniques used by Alpine Coaching. Mental recovery and appropriate relaxation are also important.</P> <P>Mental Toughness </P> <P>A strong and positive mindset can overcome lack of confidence and self doubt and is important to success at the highest level. </P> <P>Analysis Technology</P> <P>Our coaches use the latest digital video technology to record the clearest images of athletes performance for analysis. Use of our digital projector enhances the image to life size to facilitate the athletes perception of their current form and how they can improve in terms of movement and performance. The Academy has an extensive library of DVD and Video footage of world class racers which allows comparison of skills and tactics. In addition, advanced performance analysis software allows us to evaluate performance and use live comparisons; the drawing tools help to further simplify the athletes understanding of the necessary skills and movements. </P> <P>Minis and K1 Snowstars Scheme </P> <P>The Husky Snowstars scheme is an excellent tool that we use to monitor our younger athletes skills. There are seven levels with three standards within each level. An athletes progress is reviewed continuously throughout the training period. Each level has a number of skiing skills to be achieved. The snowstars program aids realistic goal setting, progress monitoring and athlete motivation. </P> <P>Athlete Journals </P> <P>All athletes are required to complete a daily journal. This journal details the amount of on snow training, fitness and schoolwork support hours each day. Athletes are then required to write a brief description of the activities performed each day. </P> <P>Detailed Reports </P> <P>Reports are essential to evaluate past performance and plan the strategy for future success. At the end of each training block, each athlete will receive an individual report detailing attendance, gates to free ski ratios, environmental conditions, GS/SL/SG/DH ratios, fitness test results, technical gains achieved and how to progress in the future. </P> <P>F.I.S. Monitoring Charts</P> <P>Our F.I.S athletes are required to complete the athlete journal and must also record additional details in a simple chart. Details such as fatigue levels, heart rates and motivation levels are all essential when training at this level. </P> Alpine Coaching Race Academy Athletes Profiles <p>What They've Achieved, What They Like </p> <p>Callums Profile </p> <table width=400> <tr><td> Name<br> Date Of Birth<br> Resident Town<br> Favourite Food<br> Favourite Film<br> Favourite Band<br> Other Hobbies </TD> <td>Callum Brown<br> 12-Mar-94<br> Bright, Australia<br> Fondue<br> Bad Boys<br> Good Charlotte<br> Listening to Music, Playstation</td></tr> </table> <p>Race Results -
