Episode 2
The development of skiing in England and formation of the Englsih Ski Council
I’m continuing my discussion with the former National Coach and Director of Coaching for Snowsport England, John Shedden. I wanted to find out more about how the structure of English skiing developed in the 70s, John’s role in promoting the sport and the formation of the National Governing Body, the English Ski Council.
Along the way there’s a revelation about the impact of English ski racing on the Swedish star Ingemar Stemark, arguably the best ski racer in history - ever
These recordings are about the art, science and history of snowsport coaching. As a coach educator for the national governing body Snowsport England, I wanted to create resources that support their mission of inspiring participation in snow sport at every level.
