Club Excellence Fall Summit 2020
U.S. Ski & Snowboard's Sports Education Department has partnered with the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) to create a Club Excellence Fall Summit Webinar Series, which will take place every Wednesday evening in October beginning on October 7.
U.S. Ski & Snowboard's development programs support the vision and mission to make the United States the "Best in the World" in Olympic skiing and snowboarding. But that wouldn't be possible without engaging and dedicated coaches at all levels who are out there working to support athletes striving to reach their full potential.
The Club Excellence 2020 Fall Summit will aim to spark insights into each topic's foundational principles by increasing awareness, providing practical examples from the ski and snowboard community, and engaging in reflective exercises. These sessions are designed to build upon one another, keeping participants focused on what is most important: coaching. This Fall Summit includes five sections of participant engagement for each webinar: Pre-Work, 60 Minute Presentation, Panel Discussion, Post-Work, and Survey.

*Please note all four sessions will be recorded and available for viewing following the conclusion of each session.
