Course Description:

This interactive indoor course is designed for instructors looking to deepen their technical understanding of snowboarding and sharpen their movement analysis skills. Using a blend of PowerPoint resources, video analysis, and live in-person presentations, participants will explore effective ways to identify and describe rider movements, connect observations to cause-and-effect relationships, and communicate feedback clearly. The course emphasizes discussion, collaboration, and practice in presenting technical concepts in a professional, engaging way.

Learning Experiences:

Specific activities will vary depending on group, terrain, and conditions and typically include:

• Engage with PowerPoint-supported discussions that outline key technical models and frameworks.

• Practice movement analysis using curated video clips of snowboarders at different levels and in varied terrain.

• Work in small groups to share insights, refine observations, and build consensus around technical understanding.

• Discuss how to present to peers, practicing effective communication of technical information.

• Receive feedback from clinicians and peers to strengthen accuracy, clarity, and delivery of technical explanations.

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of this course, successful participants will be able to:

• Accurately observe and describe rider movements using consistent and precise technical language.

• Apply cause-and-effect relationships to connect rider movement to snowboard performance outcomes.

• Build confidence in presenting technical topics to peers through live discussion and presentation opportunities.

• Enhance video analysis skills by identifying key movements and performance indicators in a variety of rider scenarios.

• Demonstrate strategies for communicating technical information in ways that are clear, accessible, and student-centered.
