Today we visit with our Sport Development Director, Blair Seymour. Our goal is to help guide you through the registration process. There are so many programs offered that it can often be confusing and stressful to whittle them down. For the sake of seasonality, we are going to focus on snow sports today and save the summer programs for next spring!
Note: A side effect of our conversation is all of the greater life lessons that bubbled to the surface!
- Today you will hear:
- Some cool insights into Blair's background & why she's been with the SSWSC for 30 years!
- We start with this question: What program should I sign my kid up for?
- Age options
- The differences between various programs I.e. nordic and alpine, freeski and freestyle, etc
- At what age kids are guided toward specialization
- Long term athlete development philosophy
- Competitive vs recreational options
Common questions Blair gets every season (answers in the podcast):
- My kid is really good skier. Can he/she "ski up?"
- My u10 doesn’t want to ski 3 days a week.
- My child just wants to race, why doesnt the club have a race only program for 8 year olds?
- Or my child has no interest in racing, why does he have to train in gates?
- Why do you recommend xc skiing in addition to alpine?
Finally, Blair's answer to the question we ask every guest - What's the greatest lesson you've learned through sport? - is powerful!
