Emily Conrad is a snowboard coach who specializes in the mental side of riding. The part that often holds riders back even when their physical skills are capable.
Her work is shaped by her own experience learning emotional tools through therapy. As a result, she applies these tools within snowboard coaching. Emily helps riders understand what’s happening mentally when fear, nerves, or hesitation show up on snow. Then, she teaches them how to work with those responses instead of fighting them.
She believes snowboarding is as much about awareness and trust, as it is about technique.
