Chris Conte - Developing the Double Salchow
|
Chris Conte demonstrates and describes a full development
program for teaching the double salchow. Chris uses a
demonstrator to show the primary drills he uses to teach the jump, and these
drills can be used for single, double or triple. Because Chris shot the
video himself, he is able to discuss what he likes and doesn't like about how
the demonstrators execute the drills, which provides important insights.
This video tip was originally part of a
double
salchow
computer video analysis. Check that out to see why Chris made a point
of sharing this information.
Please leave a comment below. Chris is a member of this website and
would love to hear from you.

» [- Nov 28, 2008 at 8:32 PM -] Christina Sim says: Hi Chris, thanks for sharing this step by step video...it's the help that I've always wanted. I've only coaching experience of 2 1/2 years.
I'm really excited to be able to introduce the drills in this video. At the moment, I've tried Nancy Kerrigan's drill...using clock time code : 6, 3, 9 o'clock for the single salchow jump...it does help developmental skaters to control their body alignment and over rotation during the 3-turns. Hope you can share more step by step drills on other jumps, spins, combo spins, footwork sequences. Many thanks to all coaches who are so willing to share, I've gained alot more knowledge and confidence in my own coaching. From the bottom of my heart, all of you are great mentors to me. Skating is a path...so is coaching.

» [- Dec 2, 2008 at 6:34 PM -] Karolina says: I am always looking for new "wording" and ideas to keep my skaters interested in what they are doing. I love the wording of the "magic circle" as I teach alot of younger skaters. Thank you again for sharing your tips.
» [- Dec 4, 2008 at 3:31 PM -] Nancy G. says: Chris, you are awesome! Thanks for the great tips. I have a skater who is working on her double salchow and this is great timing for me. I also have used the Nancy Kerrigan 6, 3, 9, but I love the magic circle! Thanks for all of you help!
» [- Dec 12, 2008 at 10:56 AM -] Laura says: Chris, it worked!!! Yesterday I finally was able to give my student in mind a lesson on her double salchow and after going through your development she was able to land it for the first time. Thanks again! I only wish I had a video of her reaction after she landed it for you to see....very excited :)

» [- May 3, 2009 at 12:12 PM -] Nathalie says: I would like to see more videos on lower level skaters. I found it more helpfull to see "unperfect" skills.
» [- Aug 21, 2009 at 10:31 PM -] Daphne E says: I have three skaters currently developing their double salchow and they (along w/ my future 2-sal'ers) will benefit greatly from the knowledge I have just gained from this video!! I am going to take my notes w/ me to the rink so I don't forget anything. Thanks!
» [- Nov 17, 2009 at 4:48 PM -] Courtney Baga says: This is great, Chris! Thanks for the breakdown off your development process, and seeing what we should expect from a less experienced skater.
» [- Jan 3, 2010 at 8:45 AM -] Stewart Feinstein says: Hmmmmm - Interesting Chris - I have never taught the "Magic Circle", and have taught skaters from beginner to triple salchow and quad attempts. I like this "Magic Circle" though and I will try it on the ice for myself. Usually when I teach a double salchow my skater has a good enough base to be able to press on the left inside edge to curve it around allowing for take off. But obviously some skaters are more talented than others and I think your way will allow for that quick switch needed!!! Kind Regards - Stewart - UK Coach
