What will you learn in our Ski with Confidence Courses?

Ski with Confidence Overview

We offer Ski With Confidence Coaching Courses to overcome those inner fears and discover the magic of skiing. Use the skills you’ll develop to feel relaxed and calm on the slopes so you actually can have fun. 

Imagine how good apres-ski will feel then!

This course is not about technical expertise but enables you to feel calm and love your skiing at whatever level you are. 

We’ll be using various coaching techniques to enable you to visualise your skiing goals and become the skier you dream about being. 

You’ll understand your fear and know how to manage your critical inner voice, which has been disruptive in the past. Most importantly, you’ll learn how to create your positive, confident skiing self and be looking forward to putting it into practice. 

The coaching starts in the UK with a series of four coaching sessions over four weeks leading up to your holiday. You will then work with a ski instructor who will enable you to build on those skills and fall in love with skiing.

The five online coaching sessions are completed remotely. As long as you have access to a computer, you’ll be able to join us. We can deliver the on-snow lessons in any one of our resorts.

Practice makes Perfect

Our Ski with Confidence course is for all skiers who feel anxiety on the slopes, which stops them from loving their skiing.

You may be a beginner who loves the idea of skiing but is held back by your fear and doesn’t want to miss out on all the fun your friends and family are having. Or you could have skied for years and have started to lose your confidence but don’t want to be the one that misses out on those family holidays.

With years of ski holidays ahead, are you feeling caught between sharing those precious times but dreading it?  When you ski, do you have butterflies in your stomach and are worried about injuries and feeling out of control?

Introducing Louise

We’re delighted to be running our bespoke Ski with Confidence Coaching Courses in collaboration with Louise Pode of ProAbility Ltd. 

Louise loves her job as an Executive and Personal Development Coach enabling her clients and their businesses to be the best version of themselves. On a personal front, she would describe herself as a great example of what coaching can achieve. 

“It’s a testament to the power of coaching that I can go from being a really anxious skier to one who loves it so much I’m running courses in it.” 

Louise is well qualified with an Institute of Leadership and Management Level 7 Executive Coaching qualification and over 25 years experience in Executive and Personal Development Coaching, an NLP Master Practitioner and Master Practitioner in Workplace Resilience and Wellbeing (WRAW). 

Her medical background as a State Registered Physiotherapist and Masters in Ergonomics has given her a great understanding of the influence our minds, bodies and environment have on each other. Nowhere is this more apparent than in skiing!

Lack of confidence?

When we are dealing with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, lack of confidence and those other emotions that skiing can generate, it can be hard to take the first step to overcome them.

We are here to help, and Louise and our team are happy to talk you through the journey to creating confidence on the slopes. Be assured you will be surrounded by like-minded skiers on their personal journey to loving the sport.

The biggest tip when considering this course is to visualise how you would feel if you could look forward to skiing, feel empowered to choose your line and be ready to share lots of laughter on the slopes with family and friends.

If you would love to feel like that, then this course is for you.

Don’t miss out: Ski with Confidence Week

We are also delighted to be running a Ski with Confidence Week in Courchevel 1650 on 17/03/2024 to 24/03/2024. We’ll be taking this journey together to discover the magic of skiing. You’ll be in the company of like-minded people in a great environment, sharing common goals.

You will start with online group coaching with fellow skiers in the UK. It is a comprehensive package of 1:1 coaching sessions to shift your mindset from anxiety to calm. Following the coaching, we’ll be heading out to the beautiful resort of Courchevel 1650 and putting it into practice.

You will be sharing your experience with like-minded teammates on the same journey, which creates an excellent support network and often lifelong friendships.

Louise, your Ski with Confidence Coach, will be with you every step, from coaching with you in the UK to continuing in the Alps. On the slopes in Courchevel, you’ll be with our ski instructors, who are specifically trained in this field to ensure a smooth transition onto the snow and a great experience. 

Consider this coaching course as a gift to you and your family and friends… a gift of those many fun shared experiences ahead of you.

Ski Lessons FAQ’s

These Confidence sessions are for 13 years +. For younger children needing a confidence boost, we recommend booking a private lesson.

Yes. All of our instructors speak good English, and all of our group lessons are delivered in English. If you have any other language requirements we can offer private lessons.

Everyone taking lessons with New Generation must be suitably dressed.

  • Helmets are advised.
  • The glare from the snow can be intense, even on cloudy days, so ensure you’re wearing sunglasses or goggles at all times and high SPF suncream on any exposed skin.
  • We also suggest you’ve got a snack and some money for a coffee (or something stronger!) for lessons longer than 2 hours, as we’ll usually stop for a break.
  • Check you have your lift pass in a left-hand pocket before you leave. Lift passes are not included in the lesson price.
