Information Pilsen Summer Camp 2023 (pdf English Download)
Dear figure skating community!
We want to invite interested skaters, trainers and teams to the 2023 CIW Summer Camp in Pilsen/Czech Republic with top trainers from Ukraine, Austria and Germany. The goal is to use the great team spirit at the camp and the input of the whole team for preparing the new season together. We are inviting especially teams and trainers but also skaters alone, but we would appreciate coordinating the training in cooperation with the main coach of the skater if possible. We are also offering feedback and a video archive to the trainers of the skaters.
Special topics 2023
– Season preperation – jumping training, rotation training, athletic training methods, choreography/dance and program preperation
– Methods for motivation and methods and tools for training efficiency for on ice and off-ice
– Injury prevention through athletic training which also pushes the performance of skaters + health topics
– Using training tools for more efficient and effective training (off-ice + on ice) and habit improvement
We have this time a big focus also on showing the athletes and trainers, who are interested how we started to work with different training tools and how one can set them up (this is including video analysis on the ice rink and off-ice, constant video monitoring, fitness and training trackers (Garmin vivosmart 5 and others) as well as an web platform for training schedules and workouts to help teams supporting and monitoring training better no matter where and when skaters are training.
If you are interested to prepare for the camp, there is also the possibility for meeting already before for training in July in Vienna.
