You do the same the thing over and over with no improvements. This comes around for various reasons including fatigue, distraction, apathy and frustration.
Secondly you can make small changes that are barely recognisable, though over time show up as improvements and progress.
Thirdly there’s the step change. This is when you make actively make a change to ones skiing in a small space of time and thus easily recognisable. This is the most exciting as it’s like option two on fast forward so easily seen and felt. This can be the result of trivial things like a coach saying the same thing (for the hundreth time) but for some reason it translates into a change in technique or just saying it in a different way or it’s just the way sometimes skill acquisition occurs. Anyway over the last two weeks I had a couple of these and I feel great. Small technical changes in skiing can have large results and now I’m seeing them – Very exciting and I’m very grateful to my coaches at Steamboat, who for five years have put up with me and helped make this journey.
