Important Notes

Saturday there will be an extra training to help all athletes

accomplish there volume for this week. We will be doing a 30-50km roller ski.

It is going to be fun and a good tour of Ottawa Gatineau.

After reading through the survey that families did this spring there is one thing that I  would like to start doing and that is to have regular meetings with athletes to discuss training goals, successes and challenges. This will also give me time to better get to know athletes and find ways to help motivate them to their goals. 

I would like to do this before practice times to make it as convenient for athletes and for myself. I would like to meet with 2-3 athletes for 15mins before each practice. This will allow me to meet with each athlete 1 per month. The goals of the meeting would be to review training, answer any questions that the athletes has and for me to be able to give each athlete some focussed time to discuss areas of growth that I see as being important for them to reach their ski/biathlon goals. 

I would like to start this for Wednesday. I have suggested a time and date for each athlete to meet with me. It will be impossible for me to choose times that fits everyones schedules. So if the time that is suggested for you does not work please change with some one else or put your self into an open spot. This spread sheet is also a google doc that you can find here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oA-7cGy1zJNB2Z1VpM8MfHXGmZSYnsg0xMdd6VahjCs/edit?usp=sharing  and make changes if you need to change your slot. 

If you need to change slots make sure that you change your time on the google doc as I will be using this as a master list, please do not email me with out change this master list.
