Bad habits

I just tried out my new skis on Friday. Man, has equipment come a long way! The edges grip like glue, and the new size allows much more control with little bumping and bouncing. Sweet!

What I learned, however, about myself is that I allowed some bad habits to form. The new equipment can certainly improve my skiing, but I needed to get back to some basics and reform better habits...keeping my hands in front of me, not behind...leaning forward, using my quads not leaning back in the boot. These minor adjustments will make a big difference in my skiing performance.

And it reminded me that we can all benefit from small adjustments that can make big differences. The problem is we often get too close to ourselves to notice we've fell into some bad habits. That's where a life coach can help...give you honest feedback and look towards minor tweaks to make great improvements. Let me know if I can ever be of help!
