More About Coach Sho
I have coached at various ski camps, skills camps, and national programs since 2007. I'm currently a Director/coach at ID One Pro Mogul Camp in Whistler during the summer. I've also coached at Winter Park Resort, Mogul Logic, and CVA Trampoline and Skate Camp. I've worked with clients between age 7-70.
I have 25 years of skiing experience, and 10 years of skiing at the highest level of my sport. This translates into expert skiing knowledge of all terrains, difficulty, and ability levels though body awareness and correct technique. This can turn our sessions into highly productive, fun, but challenging lessons. We will achieve better improvements than lessons with a "certified" instructor.
I am a 3-time National Champion in Freestyle skiing. I have 9 seasons of experience on the FIS World Cup tour, with three World Cup Podiums. I placed 4th at the 2015 World championships in Kreischberg, Austria. I've spend 10 years at the top level of my sport, and have been through the new formats and sport progression.
A typical session would consist of a game plan the day or night before. We need to set attainable goals to keep us accountable for our session. To start, we would go through a structured warm up to get the muscles firing and prevent injury. Depending on the focus of the game plan from the day before, we would start with fundamentals of what your focus is. We will get plenty of quality reps. Skiing is a very tiring, high impact sport, so we need to keep quality and safety our first priority.

Client Reviews
Christian (CoachUp client)
Sho Kashima is an incredible athlete and coach. Within only a few hundred feet of him watching me ski, he immediately identified what needed improvement, what caused this bad habit, and why I was not skiing to my full potential. He quickly came up with a game plan for the day and we started doing some drills that same run. The exercises were very specific to fixing the issues I had. In addition to his coaching abilities, Sho is also very pleasant to talk with and spend the session with. I'd highly recommend him for any sort of skiing lesson, advanced mogul technique especially. I got exactly what I wanted out of this lesson which was identifying and fixing very specific habits I had formed over years of skiing and I think that's something only a skier at his level could fix as easily as he did. Thanks Sho!
Kiara (CoachUp client)
As a novice skier Sho made it a lot of fun learning how to ski. I would recommend him to anyone. He was really nice and taught me a lot in our session. I had not skied in over 16 years and was nervous to learn but after my lesson with Sho I had confidence and was comfortable on my skies. He made skiing fun and was a great teacher! If you are looking for a fun lesson and to learn a lot and improve your skills, he's the guy for it.
Shunsuke Yokota - Coach, Winter Park Competition Center (Testimonial)
Sho is a great skier, athlete and coach. He helped us with Winter Park Freestyle Skiing Program, and he did an excellent job with the kids. All of the athletes absolutely enjoyed his coaching, and they made great improvements. I would recommend Sho as a coach to anyone who is serious about improving mogul skiing.
