The Adult Skating SOS™ (System of Skating)
Video message from Mimi.
Technique:
The methodology of the skating system has 3 base categories:
The methodology of the skating system has 3 base categories:
Alignment, Counterbalance, Core-rotation
From these simple and easy to understand base categories, all corrections can be made in a simple, applicable approach. These concepts will be explored in skating techniques off the ice with on ice demonstrations in how to implement onto the ice. By following along with Adult Skating SOS , skaters will learn this layered system and be trained to diagnose the source of their issue(s) and make forward progress through integration and understanding of these concepts. These concepts hold true for skills applicable to the beginner skater or an elite competitor.
“Adults are ardent and enthusiastic students and they have a lifetime of experiences written in their minds and bodies that affect the learning process. Children tend to skate viscerally and learn by modeling, while adults seek understanding before application. In short, adults want to know WHY and HOW,” Mimi observes.
With that in mind, Adult Skating SOS addresses that teaching adults requires specialized skills including knowledge of kinesiology, physics and the ability to articulate in a clear, comprehensive system. To compliment, SOS also recognizes that muscle patterning and play help adult skaters return to visceral learning and joy where flow and ease can manifest. SOS does not correct “symptoms” of a problem, it is a systematic way to elicit understanding and personal growth to empower skaters.
