Princes Pro-Am Booby Prize
Joyce Latham from Thorpe Park Ski Club London, after only competing for a few seasons, was part of the Team that came in last place in the 2008 event. Do to her circumstances she could not take her booby prize of 3 days free training at our Skool until this Autumn. Joyce also arrived in Orlando after having taken a fall at the Seaton Classic in early October where she has sustained an injury to her shoulder. Not having skied for six weeks Joyce was pretty low on confidence and endurance as you can imagine, but she got out on the water the first day and pushed through 3 sets. We worked on new technique totally aimed at safer skiing with the intent to improve performance over time. The fundamentals were in need of work and an explanation to re-assure her this was the first phase of her training at our Skool. Joyce really started to get to grips with here new stance on her ski and by the third day, even though she was very tired and low on endurance she started to put together her best skiing with great control and a major improvement in her performance, which I believe will all play out for her in next season tournament calendar. Great skiing Joyce with your new stance following your ski in both directions!
