Volume 16, Number 4 April 2013 Greetings From The Director

by John Schiemer

s the season comes to a close, there is much to celebrate. There have been Aa number of outstanding performances by all of our athletes this year. This includes Freeride athletes who for the fi rst me competed in a Development Compe on, and Nordic athletes who for the fi rst me competed in one of our Ci zen Races. Or an Alpine Mini World Cup athlete who for the fi rst me entered the start shack with bu erfl ies in their stomach at the top of Cli anger. Finally, former MBSEF athlete Laurenne Ross makes the podium in a World Cup Downhill Race. It was great fun digging through our vast photo archive to fi nd the “old photo” of Laurenne. Congratula ons Laurenne, we are very proud of you and all of our athletes.

Unfortunately, this is also the me of year where some of our coaches decide to make life decisions. I would like to sincerely thank Anna Schulz, one of our Nordic Coaches, who will be returning home to the East Coast to a end graduate school this fall. Anna has been with us for two years and has done an outstanding job with our Nordic Athletes. She will be greatly missed. Her enthusiasm and zest for life are infec ous, and the friendships she has formed NOW AND THEN . . . Laurenne Ross, 2nd Place with our older athletes will hopefully last a life me. Although replacing Anna will in 2013, First Alpine Skiing World Cup Podium in be diffi cult to do, we hope to make an announcement some me this summer on Garmisch-Partenkirchen Germany, and Laurenne who will be taking on this role. Ross, proudly showing her Buddy Werner Trophy in 2001. Way To Go Laurenne!!!!!!!!!

As spring approaches, our Cycling program is kicking off with two a er school sessions. These sessions begin April 10 and again on May 15. Our Cycling Program is a great way for our athletes to stay connected with their MBSEF friends as well as maintain and improve their fi tness. We will also be running the short track mountain bike races at COCC in May, and the Criterium Series at Summit High School which also begins in June. Ali Halpin, our Cycling Program Coordinator, is happy to answer any ques ons you have about our program or our cycling events.

In closing, I have thoroughly enjoyed this past year and am looking forward to the spring and summer events. I have appreciated the unsolicited comments and input that so many of you have provided on how to improve MBSEF. Although we may not be able to implement change for every idea, it is good to hear feedback, whether it is posi ve or nega ve. My objec ve is to help make the organiza on be er, so your comments are helpful. Finally, It is impossible for me thank all the people who help make MBSEF such a great organiza on in this issue of Ski Tracks. However, I would like to thank all of you who have volunteered your me and fi nancial support this past season; as they say, “you know who you are”. We could not put on high quality training or events for our athletes and the Central Oregon community without your help. On behalf of the MBSEF Board of Directors, thank you for your ongoing support. 2

Last month, U.S. racer Ted Ligety became the fi rst man in 45 years to win three golds in the same world championships. To win is wonderful, but to win respect is divine.

By Edie Thys Morgan, a former member of the U.S. Ski Team, a two-time Olympian, and the author of Racer-eX, a blog that tackles skiing, competition, parenting, heroes, and…you know, life. Read more at racerex.com. Photo by Mitchell Gunn/ESPA

ero worship is way overrated. But I make an excep on with Ted Ligety. When you have the Hworld’s best skier (today, and on many other days) who also runs a successful business, makes fun a priority, takes a stand on issues for the benefi t of fellow athletes, literally shrugs off disappoin ng runs, and takes me to fi st-bump his pint-sized fans on the way up to the podium — when you fi nd all that in one person, I’m good with having my kids worship at his altar.

As a parent and a coach, I am indebted to Ligety for fi lling this role in their religious training. To be sure, we are not churchgoing people. My kids, however, are well-acquainted with sermons. Ours are usually on Sundays on the way to a ski race and they go something like this: About 15 minutes from the mountain I turn down the music of choice, and look in the rearview mirror to see that I have the majority of their a en on. Then I dive in.

“What’s the most important thing you need to do today?”

“Be a good sport,” they answer. To their credit, they do not groan or roll their eyes (yet). Then we go in to a brief review of what that involves, chiefl y about being a good winner and a good loser.

We have a li le quiz about things good winners do: accept congratula ons gratefully and graciously, ask others how they did, support teammates, refrain from gloa ng, thank coaches and race workers, etc. And then, even though it is less fun to imagine, we review what good losers do: congratulate the winners, control frustra on, be happy for teammates, avoid making scenes or excuses, etc.

It’s not over un l I bust out my favorite line, because while preaching is easily forgo en, scare tac cs o en s ck: “Twenty years from now nobody is going to remember how you do in this race. But everyone will remember if you’re a bad sport.” I know this is true because of a story my dad once told me about a famous ski racer who a er the awards ceremony disassembled her trophy and loudly proclaimed it “cheap.” To this day I cannot recall one of that athlete’s racing accomplishments, but I have a crystal clear vision of that unfortunate scene played out before my birth. And now my kids do too. I doubt that racer would be proud if she knew.

They indulge me these sermons, and all the li le stories that go along with them, perhaps because they know I can’t help myself from yammering into them the messages that were yammered into me as a kid. But they are also building their own image of sportsmanship from real world scenarios. What stands out at the end of the race day is rarely an excep onal run, but o en par cular comments, gestures, or behaviors that range from endearing to appalling. Especially in the heat of compe on, sportsmanship ma ers. It shows that you can see beyond your own performance. It shows that you respect the eff orts of everyone out there, and it shows that you are worthy of their respect as well.

That sense isn’t innate – it is learned, usually at home. Phil Mahre grew up being reminded to “be nice to the people on the way up because they’re the same ones you’ll meet on the way down.” Last summer I asked Ted Ligety about what or who ins lled his sense of sportsmanship. “My parents I guess,” he grinned, adding, “I’m pre y sure they wouldn’t have kept paying for me to do this if I was a jerk.” Note that these parents are not obsessed with outcomes and even if they’d had the opportunity, I doubt they would have tweeted or posted their kids’ results.

Ted Ligety and Sportsmanship, Cont.

Parents may have the most opportuni es to ins ll and support the value of sportsmanship, but they are not the only infl uencers. Recently I asked my parents about a race day ritual that was set in stone when I was growing up. A er every race, no ma er how much we felt like slinking away, we had to congratulate the winner. And win or lose we had to thank the person who put on the race. It was o en a mad scramble to track down the right people so I could get on with the rest of the day’s shenanigans, but I always did it because I liked the way it made those people smile.

And let’s be real. I did it because it was a rule. I asked my parents how they, who were I asked Ted who instilled not hugely into sports as kids, knew to priori ze sportsmanship by requiring those acts. his sportsmanship. “My “That doesn’t sound like anything I’d have made you do,” my dad replied with an parents,” he grinned, “They honesty that can only come from complete disassocia on with a concept. wouldn’t have kept paying if I was a jerk.” “I wish it was me,” my mom admi ed, “but I think it was your coach.”

I thought back to that coach, the one I remembered as a quaint fi xture of my junior racing days, who happened to be at the helm of many fun adventures. But then I remembered how he’d host the race families at his house to wax our skis the night before a race. To prepare for our most challenging race of the year, at a place notorious for complicated course sets, he’d unfurl a roll of toilet paper onto which he had copied the en re course as we would see it the next day. He clearly wanted us to do well, and took pride in our performance but he also had a higher purpose. He wanted us to be a team, to love the sport and to be good sports fi rst.

So here’s to you, Paul Arthur. It may have taken me close to 40 years to recognize all that you taught me, but God knows as a parent and a coach you had to have pa ence.

And here’s to you Ted Ligety, for being a hero worthy of worship. Thank you for not throwing a fi t when you fell six gates into the Kitzbuhel slalom or when your ski came off just before the fi nish in Wengen. Thank you for remembering to smile and laugh and keep it fun even when the pressure is on. There is a reason the compe on smiles when congratula ng you. Thank you for showing your many fans, large and small, that you can take the high road all the way to the top.
