With drop ping temperatures and winter approaching, summer sports equipment like surfboards or tennis rackets are for the most part being tucked away until warmer weather. Yet this time of year marks the start of win ter sports, especially snow skiing. Joey Zeller, 20, and a junior from Jacksonville, Fla. has already begun to prepare for ski season. Actually, Zeller was preparing for skiing in the Summer when he applied for the positions of ski instructor at Appalachian Ski Mountain in B^ne, NC. Two weekends ago, Zeller was chosen as one of the top five male applicants to become ski instructors. He said that the applicants had to demonstrate “intensity on the hill work and show proof of skiing ability.” He said that another requir- ment was to demonstrate com munication skills and to ex press individual attitudes to wards skiing. Starting Nov. 19, Zeller will be attending training clinics and learning the instructing techniques of the French Swiss Ski School. These training ses sions will last until Dec. 15. Zel ler will travel on weekends and Mondays, Wednesdays to Boone but he said that “it’s worth it” During the month of January, Zeller will work full time as a part of the Appalachian Ski in structing staff and will prob ably work weekends through out the season when school be gins again, he said. Instructing Goals Zeller said that he had some experience instructing when he worked in the Special Olym pics program last year. He said he taught some basic techni ques to mentally retarded and handicapped people and said that “it was quite rewarding.” He said he hopes to be able to train advanced intermediates this winter and help them over come a common plateau of style that these type of skiers frequently encounter. He said he wants to advance their style and “help them get out of their ruts.” “I want to help people help themselves,” said Zeller. Along with this job, Zeller will be assisting Drew Van Horne, director of student acti- vities,and Donald Kelly, associate professor of physical education and associate foot ball coach, in a series of ski cli nics designed to affect skier awareness of physical con ditioning. Ski Clinic Series This three part series will be gin on Monday, Nov. 21 at 7 p.m. in Jordan Gym with the first session dealing with exercises that a person can do to tone muscles and keep the body flexible in preparing for the ski season. Zeller said that skiing uses different muscles and this is why it is important to condi tion Uiese different areas. The second session will be on Nov. 28 at 7 p.m. again in Jor dan Gym. Kelly will be leading this section and will be focus ing on exercises for skiing in aerobic form and also a review of the exercises that Van Joey Zeller Horne demonstrated the pre vious session. The final session on Nov. 30 which Zeller will be leading,is to deal with showing different types of equipment for people purchasing skiis and ski boots for this season. He will sho» how to take care of equipment and how to get a secure boot fitting since this is the most inv portant part of ski equipment said Zeller. The series is a service for anybody interested in gaining more insight in being both phy sically and mentally prepared to ski, he said. “The emphasis of the series is not designed to get people in shape during these three clas ses,” said Zeller, “but it is just to give ideas of what a person should be doing for his body and equipment in preparing for the ski season.” Have You Tried All The New Sandwiches at the Grill? aOa Thanksgiving Piy\ Banquet services Harden & McEwen
