Performance Monitoring

Analysis Technology

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.

Feedback on the hill and Video feedback

Feedback on the hill is given, if necessary, immediately after a run to provide positive constructive analysis to the athlete while the action is still fresh. Video feedback is given as soon as possible after return to base, again while the day is still fresh in the athletes minds.

Minis and K1 Snowstars Scheme

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.

Athlete Journals

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.

Detailed Reports

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.

F.I.S. Monitoring Charts Link to monitoring chart

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.
