Moguls Skills Assessment

It has long been identified that athletes with a higher level
of fundamental skiing and acrobatic skills in development
years have a higher chance at progressing through the
performance pathway and achieving success in the sport.

In more recent years some work has been done in determining
some of the skills which are most relevant to the athletes potential
to progress as well as how best to analyse these skills in isolation.
Additionally, recent findings suggest a link between development
mogul skiing athletes functional strength and fundamental
movement competency and their ability to learn those skiing
and acrobatic skills which are most relevant to the athletes
potential to progress.

The Moguls Athlete profiling and Skills Assessments are designed
to be conducted by Snow Australia Pathway Club Head Coaches and their assistant coaches.

How can I become involved?

The Moguls Athlete Profiling and Skills Assessment will be run by the clubs and coaches within the resort and club.  This new direction will assist Clubs to better integrate the National Skills Assessment into their daily training environments and design program plans to enable athletes’ quantifiable opportunities to make improvements during the season.

How will I be scored?

Athletes will be scored a number time a year through a qualitative assessment on the proficiency of each skill. Further information is outlined in the Moguls Athlete profiling and Skills Assessments manuals.

Clubs will be provided with a record sheet for Athlete's scores which will be shared with the Athlete.
