Most athletes move into coaching when they are done with their careers. David Norris is not only the assistant cross country coach at the club for the U16 to U20 athletes, but he is still kicking butt himself - not only on snow but on dry ground too!

Today we sit with the Club's new Snowboard Director, Olympic bronze medalist, Alex Deibold. Not only is he running our entire snowboard program with huge events coming up soon, he's also chasing around his almost 2 year old daughter on the side, all the while doing the hardest work of all - the work on himself. Today we talk about all of it - his path to glory, his transition to the other side, and what happens when an athlete moves out of the center of their own universe.    SPONSOR DEAL!

After talking to today's guest, Jean Cote, it turns out I was right! Fun is the magic pill that keeps us going in athletics (and life) & forges the path to a life-long love of the sports we do.  The Club was lucky to have Jean join us in person recently to share his findings on how to keep kids engaged in the sports they love.  Topics we discuss today include: Deliberate fun vs deliberate practice The 10,000 Hour Myth Fun & Fri ..read more
