He is PSIA trained and has no racing background, a degree in kinesiology doesn't preclude the fact that he is looking at skiing through PSIA glasses. A kinesiology degree only teaches you to measure human body movements around joints, leverages and ranges of resistance for muscles around joints, basically. It doesn't teach how to create a complex combination of movements with your body to perform a certain sport. Teaching movements and understanding how movement origins affect outcome with a tool, like a ski or a racket is biomechanics. And even biomechanics doesn't give you ability to do movement analysis. One thing that becomes evident when you train ski instructors and coaches is that they don't know where to look, to get MA correct. They have no idea about effectively balancing and releasing, which are two of the most important aspects of skiing.
I worked with many different PhDs from different countries who specialize in skiing and they don't do MA well. They do research, but not MA. That skill doesn't come with a PhD or a PSIA level, it comes with many years of coaching and figuring out what works. Most ski coaches can't do MA correctly. Kipp is another academic like Ron LeMaster, can't ski, but runs education for USSA, amazingly bad choice. I am not surprised with this level of information by Kipp. I'm more surprised by the level of praise for it, by coaches, that tells me more about the ability and knowledge of US coaches then the presentation itself.
What most people in ski racing don't know is that I see their coaching results at my door every day. I have ever racer that comes through my door show me their video. I have them tell me what they are working on and what their coaches are telling them. I had a girl recently who will begin FIS racing, she isn't ready, and she has no idea of what to do in her skiing. She skied on both skis spread and weighted, extended up in every turn, and could not get her inside ski back or tipped, and no balance on the outside ski. She comes from a major program with coaches that have been coaching for over 20 years. This is not unusual it is normal.
