OUR Vision
At Alpine Racing Collective (ARC), our mission is to cultivate the next generation of strong and resilient individuals within an inclusive and supportive team environment. We prioritize the holistic development of our young athletes, fostering not only their skiing skills but also their character, integrity, and teamwork.
We embrace a proven approach geared toward simplifying, refining, and elevating both fundamental and advanced skiing skills. This entails the utilization of a proven coaching methodology designed to prepare athletes for progression to higher echelons within the sport.
Our program strives to create an environment where every young athlete can aspire to reach their full potential. We endorse the twin ideals of individual progress and collective cohesion, fostering a culture where athletes evolve both personally and as a cohesive team.
The foremost aim of our program is to provide young athletes with an avenue for revelling in their passion, fostering friendships, and embracing the art of Alpine ski racing while concurrently honing their skills.
The Alpine Racing Collective is uniquely positioned to cater to the diverse needs of ski racing enthusiasts, ranging from 1st-year U8 athletes partaking in three weekly training sessions to the more intensive demands imposed upon our IMD athletes, who undergo training regimens of up to five days per week.
Our commitment extends beyond the realm of athletic development alone. We undertake a comprehensive, long-term approach that scrutinizes the holistic development of our athletes. This approach encompasses considerations of conditioning, dietary habits, equipment, technological factors, and the distinct learning styles of each athlete, thereby facilitating the realization of each individual's full potential.
ARC places a profound emphasis on challenging young athletes judiciously, offering them opportunities to grapple with and overcome challenges within the appropriate context. This approach is strategically geared towards the cultivation of selfassurance.
Ski racing provides a fertile ground for the acquisition of life skills. We are cognizant of this profound facet of our program and actively assist parents in imparting these invaluable life lessons, which have a lasting impact, transcending the boundaries of sports into the broader canvas of life itself.
ARC IT!
