I've been working with Chino for years and his teaching style always amazes me. For example: I’ll be coaching a CM group and go into extensive detail about the ‘Squeegee Move’. I’ll explain when it starts, how it shapes turns, how it recenters one’s balance to the top skis, how it prepares you for your next turn and helps to prevent stemming. Each day we switch coaches. At the end of the second day after skiing with Chino, the same camper comes up to me and says: “John, I finally got it! I really understand the “Squeegee Move.”
I’ll ask, “Well what did you get from Chino – how did he explain it?”
Campers always respond “Well, I don’t really remember - he just said, ‘Don’t Do Dat!’”
We joke that Chino’s method is called the “the Don't Do Dat method”!
Skied with Cal many years. It was always eyes, hands, feet. Prettiest skier on the planet.
I am enjoying my foray into your videos and the more recent version of the book. Lots
of good stuff.
