Performance  Pillars

As has been referenced earlier, STRIVE is about the evaluation of the whole athlete and the importance of taking a holistic approach to development.  As such, each level within the framework includes tasks that sit inside one of these 5 elements.  There are 5 elements that are evaluated at each level – Life Skills, Physical Skills, Mental Skills, Skiing Skills and Complimentary Skills. 

  1. Life Skills
    Intrapersonal Skills – more internal in nature
    (e.g., focus, perseverance, goal setting, emotional regulation)
    Interpersonal Skills –  more useful during social interactions.
    (e.g., sportspersonship, honesty, teamwork, respect).
  2. Physical Skills
    Execution of physical and athletic skills of motor performance.
  3. Mental Skills 
    Cognitive skills, from the perspective of the acquisition of knowledge, whether it be technical, tactical, decision making or strategic knowledge and affective skills, from the point of view of attitudes, mindset, emotional control and ethical behavior.
  4. Skiing Skills 
    Execution of technical and tactical skills of performance while ski racing.
  5. Complementary Skills 
    Knowledge of the sport, equipment, rules, culture, history, human performance requirements.
