• Develop a training environment where high hopes and expectations are over-shadowed by positivity, support and focus on the activity at hand.
• A rider should try and make a habit of appreciating goals reached and positive feedback from coaches and peers. On the flip-side, it is important for a rider not to worry to much, and to let go of the external pressures from coaches, parents, peers or others that can create negative feelings and self doubt.
• Encourage group interaction and group support of each others efforts. A rider can get a lot of positive motivation and internal drive from friendly competition with friends and peers.
• Identify the riders strengths and weaknesses in terms of skill base. Like which way do they spin easier or do we need to spend more time practicing riding switch before trying 180's or 540's.
• Routinely practice the skills where the rider is uncomfortable. Set easy goals to build confidence and hopefully emerge from the "that feels weird zone", thereby opening up a new line of progression.
• When the rider is fired up, feeling confident and having fun, push the progression lines where the rider is comfortable for maximum gains
• Encourage visualization every step of the way. 
  Practicing tricks in the mind builds confidence on the snow.
