What do you do in the observation phase of MA (movement analysis)?
Observe the skiers’ movements. As you observe it is important to frame your observation on one specific movement rather than many at the same time.
True or false: The different stages of Physical development play a huge part in how well students' can perform on snow at their age range
True,
For example a 4 year old is going to have much harder time not skiing "in the back seat" of their skis than a 14 year old would, because 4 year old age range has a different Center of Mass
What does the A stand for in VAK? What are some characteristics of those kinds of learners?
Auditory learners

What do you do in the evaluation phase of MA?
As you observe your students and identify an intended outcome you will start to compare your student’s performance (real) to the performance that would be optimal (ideal).
What are real movements? What are ideal movements?
real= what the guest is actually doing on their board/skis
Ideal= "proper" ,what we want them to do on their board/skis
What does the K stand for in VAK? What are some characteristics of those kind of learners?
Kinesthetic learners
