Below is video that was taken today of my younger brother making some SL turns (current USCSA racer, and fairly seasoned skier). The conditions were pretty nasty (refrozen granular, ice, death cookies, and loose granular... aka eastern packed powder), but it is a fairly accurate portrayal of his usual skiing in good conditions (same movements are there). I started last season to introduce him to some PMTS-type movements and he has improved a fair amount, but I'm wondering where I should go with him next.
I started out with stance (which I think he still needs to work on) and then got him working on introducing more flexion into his skiing (which he also needs to work more). Should I run through some standard PMTS drills from Expert 2 and Essentials with him or introduce anything else? There are a lot of paths I could direct him down - just wondering what his next steps should be. I know his skiing pretty well so I have a lot of my own thoughts on it but I'd like to hear from everyone here.
He asked me to put this up for a general MA from everyone here - especially Harald - but I'm personally more interested in where to point him next as I seem to be coaching him more than his actual coaches (are we surprised?).
