to build upon their strengths, and how you communicate with them. Students’ goals and desires, and your technical knowledge, guide movement analysis. Tis chapter provides strategies for observing ski performance and body movements, determining what to teach and in what order, creating a plan to promote improvement, and communicating effectively with your students.
THE MOVEMENT ANALYSIS PROCESS
While there’s no single right way to perform movement analysis, all approaches have three elements in common: observation, evaluation, and prescription. Te observation phase includes steps that help you identify body movements and
the actions of skis on snow. Common elements are: ■ Framing your observation so it’s relevant to your students’ goals ■ Staging a task to gather the most visual data ■ Making systematic student observations
Te evaluation phase helps you assess your observations and distill complex technical
information into simplified, accurate conclusions. Common elements are: ■ Comparing the student’s current performance to the optimal performance for a desired outcome
■ Determining where a movement originates, where it should originate, the accuracy of the movement, and the positive and negative effects on performance that result
■ Determining deficiencies you can help your student address to develop effective movements
Te prescription phase helps you lead students to a more advanced level by considering student goals, incorporating what you learned during your evaluation, and creating a pathway to help students improve. In this phase you exchange information and offer knowledge that gets students excited about the changes in store for them. Common
elements are: ■ Determining strategies to promote improvement, using knowledge gained from observation and evaluation
■ Creating opportunities for learning by providing a performance focus, and using drills and exercise lines
■ Providing direction through effective, respectful communication, and feedback
You can use the phases of observation, evaluation, and prescription as a checklist of what makes the movement analysis process successful.
