Well, the holidays are over, the rust is off, and competition season is here! Though there is the odd contest here and there in December, January really kicks things into high gear. Athletes have gotten back to where they left off last year(hopefully!) and should now be setting their sights on achieving their comp goals. For some, that might mean hitting our first USASA slopestyle at the end of the month or heading off to one of the many USSA "B" events around the Northeast. Whichever way they choose to go it's important to leave enough time to practice and not to overload the schedule with comps every weekend. Mid-season burnout is no fun!
For the parents out there, take the time to talk to your kids and their coaches while you are at the hill and find out what their focus is and should be. Check out the USASA and USSA schedules online and as always, I am here to answer any and all of your questions.
Good luck in 2011!
