Alpine Ski Racing

IR Alpine Training - Developing the whole alpine ski racing athlete

We train alpine athletes to be faster, more skilled, more athletic, more mentally precise, and more professional in their approach to ski racing.

IR is an independent alpine ski racing organization that supports the ambition of alpine athletes who want to develop robust skills.

Skill level primarily drives successful outcomes and increased confidence, in alpine athletes. That is our focus.

Skill level also drives sustainable performance, we want to build alpine athletes who can reproduce performance in any race in any country, because their skill level, confidence, and physical state support that.

We created "IR" to bridge the gap between race clubs and the elite national teams. Clubs can only offer so much to an individual athlete and cannot provide the depth of skill development and training location opportunity that IR was set up to deliver.  IR is not anchored by club or association politics, which can hold athletes back.  IR was created by coaches who only want to focus on the skills athletes need to generate success in the course.

PROFESSIONAL BELIEFS

2. The best platform for performance is an athletic frame with elite strength and high aerobic capability.
3. The most successful alpine athletes, regardless of the course, the conditions, or the difficulty, embrace the opportunity to train/compete and would not wish to be anywhere else. That is the mindset that generates opportunities to perform well.
4. An elite alpine athlete, has a mastery of all technical skills both inside and outside of a course.
5. Work effort, grit, persistence, experience, and knowledge, always create opportunities to win, over time.
6. Anything worth achieving in life, is difficult. REPEAT. Anything worth achieving in life, is difficult.
7. Your competition is working harder than you think.
8. Athletes do not rise to the occasion under stressful situations, they fall to their lowest level of base skill. So we focus on raising that base.
9. We do not train athletes to get it right once, we train them to get it right every time.
10. Hope is NOT a strategy.
