Feb,14 Update

Hello Everyone,

Sorry it has been such a long time since my last update! I have had a problem with getting into my blog!

I had a good trip home to see my Family! I actually went skiing with Makaiya one day. It was fun and Big White has lots of snow.

My return to Sugadaira was good! Many of you are pushing forward with good results at races and are improving in basic skill. The most important area of your developement is the area of Goal setting and imagery. Where do you see yourself when you are in a training session? Do you see yourself improving daily, or do you see yourself failing. How you see yourself is vital for improvement. See yourself as a strong , healthy , experienced, technical, winning racer!! You can achieve great things! See the achievement, believe it will be , and feel as if you have achieved it!

Of course we must prepare in the many ares we need to prepare in for compeditive skiing. To have good skis, properlly tuned. Good Boots , properly tuned, and canted. Strong bodys. Good technique. Ability to see the line of any course. And so on! I love the challenge of ski racing!

I wish you all the Best!

I hope to see you soon!

Doug
