Snowboard Updates – January 31, 2020

Hey Team,

Contest season is about to get rolling.  There will be some ups and downs over the next 5-6 weeks.  It is difficult on a team like this because when one kid has a good day it is usually at the expense of a teammate or friend.  In the low times it is easy to blame someone else.  It is important to remember that everyone, coaches, officials, judges, and mountain personal, are out there to help the kids be better snowboarders and better people.  When we are going contest to contest week in and week out we tend to get tunnel vision on the picture that is right in front of us and forget about the long game.  This is where focusing on the three rules becomes so important.   I might be starting to sound like a broken record, but we believe that our three rules of competition will produce crop after crop of great little snowboarders and people.  If you need a refresher here are the three rules.

1. Snowboarding is FUN

2. Praise the effort more than the result

3. Practice Positive Talk. (don't say don't can't say can't)
