MAST UPDATE Week 3
Sunday, November 23, 2025 Hello MAST Athletes, Parents, and Friends: Coach Joel has been focusing on teaching visualization strategies to the athletes at Dryland training. This skill is used by all elite skiers to help reduce anxiety and be more prepared for the race course. Because of the Thanksgiving holiday, this will be a short week and Dryland is on Monday and Tuesday only! Please make these training sessions a priority. We’ll be on snow soon! In the spirit of post-Thanksgiving shopping, our Fundraising Team has scheduled a festive Social and Fundraiser at Evereve! Join us for a fun night of shopping Wednesday, December 3, to help prepare for the holiday season and raise money for our program. All are welcome, and 15% of every purchase goes straight to support MAST! We also have our Parent Social and Race Working Training coming up on Sunday, December 7. Details on both socials are just below our Giant’s Ridge Camp Sign Up, which is now open! *** Coaches Corner*** Thanks for another great week of dryland! You put in nine days of hard work and focus which will pay dividends when we get on the hill. Unfortunately, we do need to address some poor behavior that has taken place over the last two weeks. Some athletes have been disruptive, dismissive and disrespectful to coaches, and are setting a poor example for their teammates. In particular, coaches have had to reprimand athletes multiple times for spitting on each other. This is not acceptable behavior. Just last week, Bengals’ WR Ja’marr Chase was fined over $500,000 and suspended for a game for spitting on another player. You should all hold yourselves and your teammates to a higher standard. The head coaches have discussed and agreed on the below consequences for disrespectful behavior moving forward:
Looking forward to a great rest of the season, Your Head Coaches DRYLAND TRAINING Monday and Tuesday ONLY this week 4:30-6PM -Washburn Stadium Bring a jacket, hat, gloves, athletic shoes, layers of athletic clothing with shorts underneath in case we end up training inside the school for part or all of the session. And don’t forget a water bottle! If we need to move dryland indoors due to cold temps or rain/snow, we’ll communicate this no later than 3PM the day of dryland via TeamSnap and email. MAST ROSTER - 2025-2026 MAST Roster The attached roster is to be used only for MAST ski purposes - for instance, coordinating carpools to ski practice or connecting with people for ski tuning advice. This roster ALSO contains columns that signify if waivers have been completed. Scroll all the way to the right and look for an ‘X’ by your skier’s name and get those waivers in if they’re missing! WE NEED YOUR WAIVERS NOW!
