ELITEAM is partnering with VARA and coming to the Stratton Mtn School Campus Nov 2nd for a fun, tough and informative dryland ski clinic that will motivate your young ski racers to push their limits! ELITEAM’s program will teach your athletes exercises that will help prepare them for the racing season. The athletes will learn fun and innovative dryland techniques that they can do with their Coaches or on their own during the pre-season. They will also learn how a focus on Mental Toughness Skills can help them not only train more effectively, but SKI FASTER.
This ELITEAM clinic will focus on ski specific exercises that will give your young racers the tools to perform better from start to finish. Working on agility, coordination, footwork and rhythm will result in faster feet and better balance. A focus on strength and anaerobic capacity will pay off at the end of races. Finally, a group of OLYMPIANS will talk with the kids about how a focus on Mental Toughness Skills will translate into more confidence and better control on race day.
