RRT, as far as I know there are no PMTS camps or instructors based here in Italy, otherwise I would have resorted for.
Ancient, are you not relatively close to Hintertux, Austria or is that not a reasonable option?

Tommi has great potential, but is being held back by your resistance.

In this case that would be similar to what we have suggested in the past, which is working to create balance over the outside ski. Basically page 1 of book 1 is the best place to start because the skiers need to develop a rock solid super phantom.
Unfortunately its impossible to develop proper movements while running gates. It has to be done during drill time on relatively mild slopes. Running gates before proper movements have been developed creates strong bad habits that are difficult to change later.

Second, the kid in the pictures sequence is not Tommi but, as I mentioned, his older (12 years old) brother Andrea.
As I mentioned in previous posts this year, since I'm still injured with a broken femur that prevents me from skiing, the only ski teaching to my kids is their coaches' ones and I'm just trying to do my best to show them PMTS videos and analysis from PMTS forum and Blog. Therefore these are the only footages that I have of my kids skiing.
But coming back to this pictures sequence I see some:
- O Frame legs;
- weighted release;
- flex to release turns;
- counterbalance;
although there are some rotations in some turns and at the end of the day the results are insufficient. But we are working on it with the above mentioned limited possibilities and, if you don't mind, I would really appreciate your contribution any time I believe there is something to show you although my MA skill could fail.
Thanks again.

As to MA, I'm certainly willing to provide it, but I'd hope to see some results (and I'd assume you would want to see that too ). Our skiing never gets better when we get in the gates, and we certainly can't develop it there. Where MA can be very effective is if you have the kids do some work and shoot some video both of the drills and the free skiing. If you submit that for MA, we can: 1) give you feedback on whether the drills are being done correctly 2) give you feedback on whether the kids have effectively integrated what they were working on in their skiing 3) give you feedback on additional improvements to make and drills to work on. If you do that, we can give you real help in coaching the kids.
