CATALYST PERFORMANCE CAMPS OFFERS HIGH QUALITY SKI RACE TRAINING FOR ATHLETES FROM ALL OVER NORTH AMERICA

Our training concepts are based on well respected curriculum that Catalyst has developed form a combined 100+ years of coaching experience of our staff. Our programs and camps have been based on the Long Term Athlete Development model through our National Program. On the basis of this coaching foundation and methodology, CATALYST PERFORMANCE CAMPS is continuously optimizing our approach to enhance the experience of our athletes who attend our camps through the year. The development of the CATALYST CONCEPT considers the depth of experience our coaching staff , combined with the contribution of some of our staff who have competed on the World Cup.

ATMOSPHERE IS IMPORTANT TO ANY CATALYST PERFORMANCE CAMP and we select our Camp Locations that will offer the best support to our athletes on the highest level. With this respect, we strive to achieve the PERFECT ATMOSPHERE. This is why we select camps based on top class accommodation and are right next to the lifts or at the most within reasonable walking distance. Although we are not in control of the conditions of the mountain resorts we select, we are very particular about the conditions of our camps at each of the different times through the training seasons, and with this we have specifically selected our resorts based on the consistency in snow conditions over a running 5 year period. We have found our accuracy in the weather to be aligned with our strategy in contributing to the achievement of the PERFECT ATMOSPHERE.

At Catalyst we strongly believe that the success of the camps and the development of our athletes is not through the individual efforts, but by the combination of the TEAM. We also realize that the Team not only includes the coaching staff, but we are very proud of our close cooperation of our qualified partners of the ski world. We strive to continue to grow the TEAM, and provide the best exposure for our athletes on environment, experience and technical support for equipment, wax and protection.
