Members

Alpine Ski Coach has a LOG IN for members. Members get the additional benefit of more video content and interactive session planning tools.

If you are NOT a CSCF accredited coach, with an existing user ID and password, you still have access to content, but fewer drills, and no session planning tools.

To become a CSCF accredited coach, attend and successfully complete the evaluation at a scheduled coach certification course in Canada, offered by ACA-CSCF or one of ACA’s provincial sport organizations.

Pros and cons of Alpine Ski Coach app for iPhone and iPad

Alpine Ski Coach app good for

Excellent videos with descriptions as always from the CSCF! This app is a competent start that will help EL coaches plan a session. It will be great to have an interactive EAP, session planner and accessible "World" videos on the update.

Great app. But, if someone logs into app as a guest, there is no way to log off. In order to be able to log in as a member, I need to reboot my iPad......very unappleish.

Im excited to see a quality tool helping coaches working with young athletes trough different stages of LTAD. Coaches and young athletes can work at their own pace to achieve their goals. Great benchmarks and very useful drills. Well done.

Some bad moments

For $1.99 I had to check this out. I thought it would have some value for session planning or drill selection. It has nothing of value. The CSCF should be ashamed and embarrassed by this pathetic app and even more ashamed to be charging for it. Dont waste your money.

Not worth 8$. Images from the coaches book have been pasted in this app. Only advantage is that you have a resume of the book in an app, so quick reference is easy. Other than that, Ski tuning tips are unnecessary, we can find all that info on youtube... Give me my 8$ back.
