Skiing in College Q & A

By -

Hi Skiers!  This is an amazing opportunity coach Meghan organized for us!  All of you should attend no matter what grade you are in!

 On Friday, March 5th Laramie High School and the United States Collegiate Ski & Snowboard Association (USCSA) will be hosting a virtual meet and greet for high school athletes interested in skiing in college.  This is a fairly informal, open event meant to connect athletes with college teams and open them to opportunities to continue skiing. Please help us spread the word and attract athletes to this event!


The meeting will take place from 6-7 PM over Zoom. College coaches and/or athletes from University of Wyoming, Colorado State University, Western Colorado University, and Colorado Mesa University will share information about their teams and answer athlete questions. The event will be recorded for any athlete unable to attend.

Please forward this opportunity along via email to any team or organization you think may be interested, and help us by advertising the event on your social media pages. This is an open event, so feel free to share meeting information including the Zoom link. We want to be able to reach all the high school skiers we can- regardless of their experience level.  The USCSA has opportunity for competition and improvement for skiers at every level. It is a great way for our athletes to improve as skiers, travel (COVID-permitting) and develop a community of life-long friends.

At this meeting, we will address questions including:
-What schools can I ski for?
-Is it hard to be a college athlete?
-How good of a skier do I have to be to ski in college? 
-Can I get funded?
-What opportunities can skiing give me? 
-Can I ski in college even if I plan to compete in another sport?
-Any question an athlete may have, whether about skiing in general or for a specific team
 

Athletes, parents, coaches and anyone else interested can attend the event using this Zoom information:

Eat Your Wheaties!

Breakfast Is For Champions By: Abigail Larson MS, CSCS You’ve heard it before, “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day”. But if you are like many athletes breakfast is a mere afterthought if even a thought at all. But you are different than most people; you are an athlete and that makes breakfast not just important but essential for success in sport, work and/or school. Skipping breakfast slows your body’s ability to burn calories (metabolism) and brain function, and you set yourself up to raid the school vending machine by midmorning. When your blood sugar crashes you’re not likely to make nutritionally wise choices and it’s easy to go for a quick “fix” that will send you crashing again later in the day. This “crash” will cause your training and sports performance to suffer because you won’t have the energy necessary to keep up with your well-nourished teammates and competitors. To train and compete optimally you must eat optimally from start to finish everyday. Lots o

3rd Week - Endurance Block

By -
 Greetings Skiers!   I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving break and got to eat a lot of good food!  I also hope you are ready to rock out some more dryland training this week. From the forecast, we don't have much snow in the near future (maybe some this weekend.)  However, if that changes be ready to do some skiing!   If you did a lot of training over the break, make sure you are recovering and being able to absorb all the work you did! Please come prepared to be outside for practice to do more strength circuits, hill bounding, and running!  The workouts in red are optional workouts for those of you who are feeling you need to get in more hours. I am working on planning a ski for Saturday and will let you know more as we get closer! Monday AM:   20 - 30 min. Run on your own   Monday PM:   30 min. Run / Core & Yoga at 3:30 in the Yellow Pod and Nutrition talk!  Tuesday PM:   20 min. Warm-up Run / Strength Circuit / 10 min. Cool Down  Wednesday AM:   20 - 30 min. Run-on your
