Pros with coaches?

[CatBoy]

what are these people coaching exactly?

 

[bait]

Coaches help the pro film himself to know what he is doing wrong and give advice on how to spin quads and boner tricks and other arealy stuff

 

[S.J.W]

To help with a mindset and curve nerves as well

 

[NewEscuelers]

I've thought about this as well, if you are the person pushing the sport farther than it ever has been and coming up with new stuff, what does a coach do for you? It's not like the current gen of pro skiers has ever come close to what they're doing now. Do coaches just critique minor stuff like takeoffs/landings and come up with a stretching/lifting routine for the athlete?

For a pro skier, a coach would probably do all the little shit to help them maximize their performance. That may be through technical analysis or simply making a road map for tricks on how to get where they want to be. A coach would also do most of the management for for comps, travelling and just making training accessible.

technical, physical, mental other things.

I mean, even if the coach isnt as good as a skier as said pro, he can still film and point out things that he can improve on.

Same thing a gymnastics coach would do is my guess.

probably just a constant source of encouragement for the rider.

rider: I don't know if I should do it.

Coach: you totally go it

rider - attempts quad, lands on head

Coach: you totally got it

"dont worry youll get it next run"- coach

I feel like if I was a comp skier, having a coach who used to judge would be incredibly helpful, as they would be able to explain how the judges look at a run and create a run based off of that

 

[PeteMahn]

It's the same as any sport. Mainly technique, mechanics, etc. also helping them choose their runs for comps as they understand the judging better than the skier himself.
