Teaching something clarifies how important it is. When a learner starts using something new and important in their skiing, the results show up. I should have put this in the first post, but better late than never.
Instructors, do you teach "dorsiflexion" to your students?
If yes, dorsiflex when and how? What teaching strategies work? What words/drills/break-downs do you use? Do you teach it directly or indirectly?
Instructors, do you teach dorsiflexion to kids as well as adults? How different is your approach, say, for a 49 year old adult 15-days-a-year skier who keeps their shins perpendicular to the skis compared to how you teach a 6 year old who skis the same number of days - with the same habit?
Non-instructors, what helped you learn to "dorsiflex"? What difference did it make in your skiing?
