Two people. Two services.
Ski For Life is where Louise Pode’s coaching and Sven Ski Clinic meet. Here is who we are, what each of us does, and why we built the club together.
Body · Strength & Knowledge
Consultant Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgeon, Bristol
Sven qualified in 2002 and trained in trauma and knee surgery at University College London Hospitals and on an Australian Orthopaedic Association fellowship. He was appointed a consultant in Bristol in 2019, where he works at Nuffield Health Bristol and Spire Bristol and in the NHS at Bristol Royal Infirmary and Southmead.
He skis every winter, and every winter he sees what a fall costs people who were not ready for the mountain. The Strength and Knowledge pillars are his answer.
Sven Ski Clinic — trauma prevention & management
Sven’s clinic covers the other side of skiing: Trip Protection for your ski week, and care if something goes wrong.
RENEW · RECONNECT · REDISCOVER
Leading UK Ski Mindset Coach · Executive Coach · Author
With a professional career spanning nearly 40 years, Lou’s expertise has evolved from Chartered Physiotherapy and an MSc in Ergonomics to executive coaching, NLP, resilience and wellbeing. Combining a deep understanding of the relationship between body, mind and performance, she has become one of the UK’s leading specialist ski mindset coaches.
Having overcome her own ski anxiety following hip replacements and a major skiing accident, Lou founded her Ski Mindset Coaching Programme in 2017. Today, she enables skiers to overcome fear, rebuild confidence and rediscover the freedom and joy of skiing.
Louise Pode — mindset coaching
The club gives you Lou’s tools. Her coaching practice is where you go deeper: one-to-one ski mindset coaching, personal development coaching, and courses and retreats.
Why together
A knee that went. Anxiety nobody answered. A family that got faster. Between us we have seen every version — and between us we can answer all three.
