Here's how our courses work: PLEASE CHECK THE "DETAIL" TO THE RIGHT, TO SEE PRECISELY WHAT I AM/AM NOT PROMISING YOU. The maximum number of folk on the week is eight. I prefer not to work with more than five at a time. So, depending on the numbers and the relative skill levels, there may be either one or two three-hour skiing sessions in the day. In this way it's possible to train for both on- and off-piste skiing, or to train for different levels of ability during the same week. The system has now been in operation for many years and works well. You get virtually personal tuition, and still have time to cement what you have learned, when not skiing with me. Group dynamics make this more effective believe it or not, than one-to-one coaching. In the evenings you can attend short seminars on ski performance, sport psychology, and other related issues. And/or go to the bar!

I mention elsewhere on my site what I do and do not offer you, but here's another way of looking at it.

Coaching is wholly different to ski "instruction". It is not like ski school. It doesn't present me as Mr.Wonderful whom you should copy, by watching. Instead, coaching enables you and me to search for, and develop a PROCESS for YOU to use to take your skiing where you want it to go.
If you could learn by watching, I could play the flute.

So I won't be saying "You should go down there" or "You ought to be doing x/y/z". But I may say something like, "If this aspect of your skiing were better, how for you, would it be different?"

I cannot and do not promise to keep you safe - skiing isn't entirely safe - that's up to you, and I won't be telling you where you should or should not be skiing. Any time you want to know ANYTHING that I know, just ask, that's what I'm here for. You are unwise to let ANYBODY make key safety decisions for you.

I hope you'll enjoy it; so far out of hundreds and hundreds of pupils only two didn't. Any question at all, about any aspect of my courses, will be welcomed and I'll do my utmost to be absolutely transparent for you, and honest.

Bob Trueman.
