MAST Update
Week Two
Sunday, November 20, 2022


Dear MAST Athletes, Parents, Coaches, Friends:

What a great start to the season. Athletes and coaches, thank you for your attention, hard work, enthusiasm and energy. Captains: you did a fantastic job leading your pods this week through the workouts.   

We introduced a new element to dryland training: character skills training. Attached are three documents that you can download, review, and share with a parent, sibling, next door neighbor... man on the street.
  • The MAST Way
  • MAST Rules for Safe Skiing/MAST Etiquette, Procedures, Habits
  • Goal Setting
Daniel also talked about the importance and skill of visualization. If you talk sweetly to him, maybe he will write up a handout for you to cherish, study and use to maximize your performance in competition and training.

Week Two Schedule
Monday, Nov 21: Team Meeting via Google Meets from 7-8PM
Dryland Training Cancelled. 7PM Team Meeting Instead.

All athletes should have received an invitation in their MPS Email Inbox to join our virtual training on Monday.

State Your Race Intentions For December
You can now state your race intentions for our two races in December: The Mpls Alpine Championships on Monday, Dec 12 and the Wild Mt Invitational on Friday, Dec 16.

All MAST athletes are invited to race in the MPLS Alpine Championships on Monday, Dec 12. First run starts at 4:30PM. To make sure your name is on the run order for the MPLS Alpine Championships you will need to fill in a short form. We call this STATING YOUR RACE INTENTIONS.

Varsity athletes also need to STATE YOUR RACE INTENTIONS for the Wild Mt Invitational on Friday, December 16. You will miss a full day of school, the last day of school before Winter Break. All MAST athletes are invited to state their race intentions, but we will only be able to bring three teams of boys and three team of girls—six athletes per team.

The deadline for stating your race intentions for the Wild Mt Invitational is Friday, December 2.

The deadline for stating your race intention for the Mpls Alpine Championships is Friday, December 9.

State YOUR Race Intentions for the Mpls Alpine Championships on Monday, Dec 12, 2022 HERE!

The MAST Parent Social Returns. Why should the kids have all the fun? Join us for our parent social on December 4 from 4:00 to 6:00 at Dual Citizen Brewing, 725 Raymond Avenue in St. Paul. In addition to getting to know each other, there will be brewery tours, discounts and give aways.

Race Worker Training: Sunday, December 4 at 7PM
(A Virtual MAST Training Opportunity For Caring and Loving Parents Who Want To Understand The Sport Of Slalom Racing and Perhaps, Volunteer As A Race Worker Someday!)

The time has arrived to TRAIN PARENTS TO WORK THE RACES. Even if you don’t think you will ever work a race, you will most likely come watch your athlete race. So join us anyway. At least you will have a deeper appreciation for the sport your athlete is enjoying.

Learn:

  • How a ski race operates?
  • How do I decipher all those red and blue poles?
  • What are the rules of the sport?
  • Who are all the people who are on the hill working the race and what are they doing?
  • What do I need to know and do to perform the duties of a gate judge?
I will send out a link to join the virtual training later this week or in MAST Update Week Three.

Athletes, I will see you Monday night at 7PM.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone.
