Specifics
What's included
Our camp will dive deep into athlete development to prepare athletes for the next level of cycling beyond High School. We specialize in teching skills under pressure on the trails when nailing turns, riding through rock gardens, or pedaling up a climb matter the most. Our philosophy is to practice, practice, practice until necessary skills and manuvers become second nature. A part of our camp is focussing on developing training plans, schedules, and race routines to dial in a program that sets riders up for success. We understand life can get hectic and unpredictable, and a huge part of a great athlete is to plan for these things and still prioritize training and competing. This camp is about highlighting and using the tools that have led to many riders' success in the sport at all levels, and in all apsects of life.
