A Dusting of Snow – A Letter from the Executive Director
Dear Team Summit Families,
As the sun came up this morning on Summit County we welcomed a dusting of snow across the peaks! The countdown to snowmaking is now under 30 days. As we begin the transition from summer to winter, the spirit of Team Summit Colorado and it’s athletes is gaining momentum.
Our programs this summer gave me confidence in our leadership to form an amazing experience for all our young athletes. Chris Hughes orchestrated one of the most successful dryland training regiments. The number of athletes who participated in our summer programs more than doubled...

Bar Patterns Part 12
Bar Patterns: Snatch Grip High Pull- from Crease
Part 12 in the series
Proper movement patterns are a cornerstone of all athletic success. Remember that each time you do any athletic movement you are engraining either good movement patterns or poor movement patterns. Be sure to take the time to learn all of the Olympic Lifting patterns with just an empty bar. If an empty bar is still too much load for you to perform the movements with perfection, then use a litter bar or even a broomstick.
In this article, we will be covering the snatch grip high pull from the crease.
First, grasp the...

Bar Patterns – Mid-Shin Snatch Pull
Bar Patterns: Snatch Pull
Part 11 in the series
Grasp the bar with a snatch grip. To find your snatch grip hold the bar at waist level with locked-out elbows. Slowly adjust your grip in or out, while still maintaining straight arms, until the bar hangs at the height of your crease (The crease is the point where your upper leg joins together with your torso. The line that is formed here in your hips is the crease). Be sure you have an even grip on the bar, you do not want the bar either off to the left or the right. Begin with the bar hanging in front of your hips and standing with...
