Inspiring Life-Long Enjoyment of Sport
Featuring programs ranging from entry level to the future Olympic skier or rider, the Winter Park Competition Center has just the right program for you. Our professional coaches pride themselves in teaching their students skiing and riding skills and instilling the life skills such as responsibility, teamwork, leadership, character, and self-confidence that snowsport competition brings about. We enjoy the journey to success and the lessons learned along the way. Come out and try one of the top skiing and riding programs in the country!Program Philosophy
The philosophy of the Winter Park program is to offer the opportunity to achieve ones' highest potential as an athlete, person, and competitor. Through the enjoyment of sport, each competitor's commitment, desires, dreams and failures, can provide significant life lessons. We consider the person first, winning second, and we strive to develop the TOTAL ATHLETE. This goal is effected by the objective each competitor has in participation in the program and by his/her personal motivation. Those factors applied to the most supportive coaching and competition environment we can offer helps athletes to develop a positive, healthy and confident attitude - the most important aspect of the total athlete. We believe that the total athlete will not only be a successful ski racer, but excel in all aspects of life with those skills.
The cornerstones to our efforts are self-motivation, effort and commitment. An individual's success in ski racing is directly dependent upon his/her approach to these areas.
In an individual sport, winning as a measure of success would leave us with one person per weekend being successful and the rest might be considered failures. Instead, we use the goal and objective approach in measuring progress. Everyone comes out of this structure with the oppotunity to win, and it is a better environment for everyone. We place equal emphasis on the development of social skiils, physical health and enjoyment of athletic achievement in skiing and snowboarding.
