September 3, 2024

Podcast Shownotes


In this episode of the Legacy Podcast, I had the pleasure of chatting with Dania Assaly, a freestyle ski coach based in Squamish, BC. Dania's journey is truly inspiring—she transitioned from being a professional skier, competing in slopestyle and halfpipe, to becoming a coach focused on strength and injury prevention for skiers.

We dove deep into the evolution of training philosophies in freestyle skiing, discussing how critical unilateral training, power movements, and functional exercises are for athletes. Dania shared some great insights into the importance of off-season training to maintain mobility, strength, and endurance, especially for those of us who are passionate about skiing all year round.

We also talked about the mental side of preparing for big jumps and drops, as well as preventing injuries. Dania offered practical advice for balancing a busy lifestyle with ski training, whether you're a professional skier or a weekend warrior. If you're interested in ski fitness and injury prevention, this episode is packed with valuable information to help you stay strong and ski longer.
