84. Building Training Culture in Ski and Ride Schools

In Episode 84 of the 'All I Really Need to Know I Learned from Snowboarding' podcast, hosts Chris Rogers, Matt Larson, and Brian Donovan discuss strategies to increase training attendance and buy-in at ski and ride schools. As resorts open and clinics become available, they explore barriers to participation, such as financial concerns and time off work, and emphasize the importance of building a training culture. The hosts also address the roles of trainers, managers, and participants in fostering a culture of continuous professional development and training engagement.00:00 Introduction and Hosts00:24 Getting Buy-In for Ski and Ride School Clinics01:11 Barriers to Training Participation02:39 Diverse Backgrounds and Training Needs07:02 Trainer and Participant Perspectives13:23 Building a Training Culture18:47 Consistency and Planning in Training Programs32:16 The Importance of Engaging Training Sessions33:18 Evaluating and Improving Clinic Attendance33:55 Investing in Instructor Retention36:33 The Role of Participants in Training Culture38:44 Overcoming Mediocrity in Snow Sports41:11 Hot Takes and Snowboard Nostalgia42:47 The Value of Sentimental Snowboards54:34 Concluding Thoughts and Listener EngagementHot Take: How do you decide what snowboards to keep/collect?Help Us Out :Subscribe, share, and leave a review!Check out the merch on our website: http://www.learnedfromsnowboarding.com Send your questions for future mailbag episodes to [email protected] us on socials @LearnedFromSnowboardingThanks for listening and being part of our community.
