PRIVATE GROUP COACHING

WHAT IS PRIVATE GROUP COACHING

Private Group Coaching lets you and your crew share the journey. Every session is designed for your group’s goals - whether you’re friends, family, or colleagues, you’ll progress together in a supportive, familiar setting. No awkward dynamics - just your group and your coach, working together for shared breakthroughs.

WHY CHOOSE PRIVATE GROUP COACHING

Enjoy the motivation and fun of learning together, with coaching tailored to your group’s needs.

This is the ideal choice for riders who want:

  • The energy and encouragement of your own crew

  • Personalised feedback for every group member

  • A flexible structure that adapts to mixed abilities

  • Shared progress and memorable moments

HOW IT WORKS

Every Private Group session follows a clear, group-focused process:

  • Group Consultation: Define what each rider wants to achieve and spot any shared or complementary goals

  • Tailored Sessions: Your coach plans a session that works for everyone - whether you’re tackling the same skill or working on different areas.

  • Focused Practice: Everyone gets time to practice, receive feedback, and learn from each other’s breakthroughs.

  • Video Review: See your riding and your group’s from new perspectives, compare techniques, and celebrate progress.

  • Refinement: Fine-tune technique with real-time adjustments for each rider.

  • Personalised Action Plans: Every group member leaves with a clear, individual roadmap for ongoing progression.

Private Group Coaching combines the energy of group learning with the benefits of tailored instruction for everyone.

Just your group, your goals, and focused coaching designed around the people you choose to ride with.

MEET YOUR COACH CHRIS

When you love snowboarding as much as Chris does, you want others to experience that same joy and progression. That's what inspired him to create Simply Snowboarding.

After more than a decade on the slopes (since 2014), including three full winter seasons in the mountains, He's learnt that the path to better riding isn't about mysterious techniques or complicated instructions - it's about breaking down barriers and making progression accessible to everyone.


As a BASI Level 3 ISIA qualified instructor, Chris has developed a deep understanding of how people learn and progress.

His approach is refreshingly straightforward:

Simple. Fun. Stress-free.

Chris has seen too many riders get stuck when they hear vague instructions like "just do this" without understanding the 'what,' 'why,' and 'how.'

That's why Chris focuses on:

  • Breaking down complex techniques into digestible steps

  • Creating a supportive, judgment-free environment

  • Providing clear, actionable guidance

  • Allowing time for practice and consolidation

  • Using video analysis for visual learning and progress tracking

When he's not on the snow, you'll find Chris maintaining his fitness through running and strength work at the gym.
