19 - Danny Miller M. Ost, Msc - The Fear Avoidance Model

The Ski Instructor Podcast

Welcome to episode 19 of The Ski Instructor Podcast. This episode is a bit of a departure from normal in that I'm not interviewing a skier. However, there is lots of ski related chat in the pod and lots of content that relates to and is applicable to skiing.

My conversation this week is with Danny Miller who is a qualified Osteopath and who is halfway through a doctorate in Health Psychology.

This episode flowed out of a late night conversation that I had with Danny after a very enjoyable round of golf in Portugal. We discussed the concept of The Fear Avoidance Model and how knowledge of this could benefit the young skiers that we work with.

We were due to roll out this as a presentation to groups of young sportsmen and women in various International Schools in our region but corona put paid to that so we decided to make a podcast out of it.

What follows is a long conversation about various topics but the main one being how better we can manage injury when it happens to us through a better mindset.
