: I didn't invent this statement, but it makes perfect sense. This reminds me of the skiers and instructors I see on the slopes. I saw many instructor groups out training, couldn't believe what they were doing. Most of the exercises they had to perform, were reinforcing mistakes that skiers already make. Pivoting, extending, skidding and lack of balance as a result. And you have heard the response when you mention this, "that's not what we teach". How can you not notice, that "pivot slips" reinforce skidding in students and instructors????????? Another response, I get, "we don't teach skidding". So why does everyone you teach skid their turns? It's truly amazing!"If You Commit to Nothing, You’ll Be Distracted by Everything"
PMTS is a focused system and it creates not only precision in your movements, but mental preparation for every run and the right focus that brings results. I love the comments I get from many TTS instructors about PMTS, like: "I use some of your "Stuff, there are some good ideas." All that response demonstrates is that they don't get it. Learning skiing is not about "tricks" and "stuff", it's about a well thought out proven plan. Like I say in my bottom line, "Why mess around pasting weird, gross, maneuvers into with your skiing, when the most efficient movements are known"?
Time and money down the drain! And then reversing it, costs twice as much, time and money.
