TBR:GROM aims to instil the technical skill set younger riders (aka Groms) require to maximise their future athletic potential. We call this technical skill set ‘The Platform’.
TBR:GROM is a fun, technical up skilling focused program for young riders who have successfully progressed through the ski school ranks, and are ready to learn how to take on all that the ski hill has to offer. We will expose riders to the technical cornerstones of general skiing, mogul skiing and freeride.
TBR:GROM is designed to foster skills that will enable riders to move into the more specialised TBR MOGUL and TBR FREERIDE programs. The transition is entirely the choice of the rider and is encouraged to be based on an individual’s future aims and skiing goals.
: Would Tim Gale please step up to the stage. In Tim’s previous life he rolled as head coach of ski school’s ‘Full Attack’ program. His experience in gaining his level 3 APSI instructing qualification and understanding of all round fundamental skiing technique are a massive boost towards TBR’s push to develop a base level training program to ensure our young riders are taught correct all round skiing technique, or in other words they develop ‘The Platform’.
: As mentioned Tim will be working closely with all star technical skiing guru David Speirs to develop and tailor a specific onsnow training program. As part of this program Dave will take a hands on roll in setting up an on snow TBR:SKILLS ZONE during the second week of the school holiday training period. The skills zone will consist of a small area of dedicated hill space set out to facilitate drills aimed at developing technical proficiency. In other words kids, you get to do random fun stuff with your coach in a fenced area on the hill and get really good at skiing without realising!!!
: TBR would like to get a word of reassurance out to all potential groms... Although our bigger kids and coaches take on some pretty hefty jumps and tend to rip around in the bumps and mountain in general they can do so only because they have progressed through the TBR ranks from an early age. TBR would like to get a particular word out to potential female groms interested in developing the correct technique to progress as skiers. With the likes of US Open and X GAMES champion Anna Segal as a role model who knows how far your progression will take you???
