The trend appears favourable for our session tomorrow. Let's hope that wind subsides.
Saturday was definitely not an easy session. I think we all did a great job keeping the kids as motivated as we could, and most importantly I believe they all came back with no frostbite.
For tomorrow, let's try what I had suggested for Saturday's session. We'll split into two groups for the first half and alternate working on striding with no poles, and then if the conditions are ok, we can practice some double-poling. When we get the kids practice no poles diagonal striding, it's important to get them to think about getting their hips forward (so they aren't sitting back) and pushing each foot/ski right through to start getting that weight exchange happening. There are always a million things to focus on, but if we can pick just one thing at a time and demo it, I think the kids get more out of each session.
Then we'll meet up in the stadium at 5:15 for some games.
See you all tomorrow!
