Ski instructor refers to a person who teaches, guides, organizes and manages fitness knowledge and skiing skills in mass skiing activities. Because the titles of ski instructors by researchers in various ski resorts and ski industries are vague, ski instructors are generally called ski instructors by ski resort managers and skiers. The foreign ski instructor is called "ski instructor", which is more appropriate. [1] As a profession, ski instructor has its own characteristics. Unlike competitive skiers. It is open to mass skiers of all ages and levels. In addition to the standard basic skiing skills, you should also have certain moral quality, cultural quality, teaching ability and service consciousness. [2]

Ski instructors should master three skills.
Management skills
In skiing learning, the time of distance exercise and waiting time are often longer than expected, but the actual learning time is shortened accordingly. In skiing teaching, efforts should be made to reduce the waste of time and fully ensure the direct learning time of skiers. Therefore, the instructor should make good preparations before skiing instruction: ① Investigate and understand the skier's personal situation (age, experience, health status, personality, etc. ) during the instruction. ② Before skiing, check your clothes and appliances. Instructors should pay attention to everyone in the assembly and preparation activities, and be able to master the skiers' personal transportation characteristics, preparation activities and activities in long-distance sports. (3) If flagpoles and other instruments are used, they should be transported to the site in advance to get ready. ④ Choosing a suitable practice slope is the basis of smooth teaching. When choosing the slope, we should consider the time required for distance movement, so we should be familiar with the slope, hanging chair equipment, speed and so on. ⑤ In the case of long-distance sliding on the slope, it is necessary to agree to act at the same time, especially to clearly convey the final assembly place, and the actions of all members must be mastered in the process. ⑥ In order for skiers to learn in a good atmosphere, matters such as sliding sequence, position rotation, tips for skiers, etc. It should be arranged before the guidance begins.
Harmonious skills
Instructors should establish the interpersonal relationship that skiers depend on, and at the same time make the interpersonal relationship between skiers harmonious, so as to maintain a good learning atmosphere. It can be said that the establishment of harmonious and perfect interpersonal relationship will promote the improvement of learning effect. In order to establish a good interpersonal relationship, we need to consider the following issues: ① The enthusiasm of the instructor must last. This is because the attitude of the coach affects the skiers. The coach treats the skiers sincerely, and the skiers become sincere, so it is easy to establish a relationship of mutual trust. If you are indifferent and lack enthusiasm, you don't have to expect good learning results. Instructors should try their best to use positive and encouraging language, establish partnership with skiers as supporters, and strive to create a lively and relaxed learning atmosphere. (3) Remember everyone's name and appearance as soon as possible, call out the skiers' names with emotion and communicate with them. It is necessary for the instructor to deeply understand the personality characteristics of skiers and adopt corresponding guidance methods. For example, when giving some advice to skiers in front of everyone, we should take into account the psychology of different skiers' personality characteristics (introversion and extroversion), consider the wording in a targeted manner and adopt different expressions. If introverted skiers are allowed to demonstrate their wrong actions in front of everyone, they will lose their desire to learn and even hate skiing because of the coach's words and actions. ⑤ The coach should treat skiers fairly under any circumstances, and should not treat them differently because of different skills. They should make suggestions on an equal footing, without favoritism. Let all skiers take part in learning activities voluntarily.
Teaching guidance skills
In order to arouse the skiers' learning enthusiasm and make the learning guidance carry out smoothly and effectively, we must skillfully use the learning time to cultivate the following skills for the instructors: ① Observe the skiers' requirements, take them seriously and let them develop independently. (2) Instructors should accurately judge when to stop the ongoing learning activities and move on to the next content. The skier is immersed in a certain learning activity, and the instructor cannot ignore his desire to continue practicing and interrupt the learning activity at will. 3 Instructors should give instructions to skiers in clear, accurate and easy-to-understand language. Guidance is not to point out problems, but to point out how to do it so as to get results as soon as possible.
Improve the technical level. Don't spend too much time explaining, it is important to let skiers do skiing as much as possible. ⑤ Learning activities should focus on correctly mastering technical movements, not on the intensity and quantity of exercises. As a guidance teacher, to improve the guidance skills, we must creatively carry out teaching practice on the basis of mastering professional theories and improving quality in an all-round way. In addition, as an instructor, we should constantly carry out self-examination, self-improvement and self-improvement. [4]
