Comp Summer Ski Training – Base Program
Comp Summer Ski Training - Base Program
Who: Comp athletes, ages 14 - 19 (or who will be 14 by Dec 31, 2023) When: May 2 – October 5 Where: Salt Lake and surrounding areas Why: To build skiers for next winter, and to create a team community for ALL athletes and their families Days: Mon/Wed/Thu and some Sundays Add-ons: There will be four camps and a strength component that are optional add-ons for skiers in the program (scroll for dates and details). Features: Year-long training plan integrated with other sports, on-site, in-person, individual coaching, video analysis, whole-athlete focused, adventures, fun! Athletes will meet with Coach Julia to form a plan for summer training, then meet 3 - 4 times per week for in-person coaching.Skiers are Made in the Summer
There is a saying that “skiers are made in the summer.” Most of the conditioning skiers gain during the year is between May and October—and that’s many more months than the race season. With all the sports and activities out there, today’s teens are busy year-round.Integrated with Other Sports
This program will integrate other sports training (mountain bike and running especially) to take care not to duplicate those hours. At the same time, it will focus on the critical ski-specific conditioning that can leave winter-only skiers feeling like their fitness or skill could be better. We will focus on the aspects of ski fitness that are not covered in running and mountain bike riding for those who are training for other sports.Individual Plan
It begins with an individual plan for each athlete. This plan will include individual goals and self-tracking so that skiers will take ownership of their progress. Coaches will work together with the entire team (other sports coaches, parents, and skiers) to create a plan that works for their schedule and the days they are choosing ski practice.Team Plan
While skiing is largely an individual sport, there is a large part of success in skiing that comes out of being part of a cohesive team. That will be a top goal for this year: creating a team that can rely on each other, push each other, support each other. We're better together. It can be tricky to integrate everyone's training plans. With excellent planning, the coaches will find ways to differentiate each day in a way that challenges every child, while leaving nobody behind.The Focus is on Fun
Most of all, the focus will be on working together in a group to build a team who help each other achieve their individual and team goals. The emphasis is on how all of this work can be fun when it’s done well, and that’s the plan.Coach
