Calgary Snowboard Club hires former X games and US open winner Scott Gaffney as head coach of Snowboardcross team.
(November 5th, 2008 – Calgary, Ab) Calgary Snowboard Club is proud to announce the hiring of Scott Gaffney to our coaching team. Scott Gaffney will be the head coach of the High Performance SnowboardCross team. Scott Gaffney was one of the fastest snowboarders on the planet for almost a decade, winning such events as X games, US open and Whistler World Cup. He spent the latter part of his professional career being filmed and having his picture taken, appearing in such media as Standard films releases and Transworld snowboarding magazine. TEAM CSC is proud of the successes of riders that have trained with us, including current Olympic hopefuls Matt Morison, Mike Robertson, Korath Wright (BHM) and Masaki Shiba (JPN). We feel that Scott’s experience and coaching will add to this winning legacy of the Calgary Snowboard Club. Our alumni have gone on to win or podium in world cups and junior world championships, and we look forward to Scott bringing his winning qualities into coaching with the team.
On what makes a good team environment
Scott Gaffney: The joy of competition can be lost pretty quickly. Competitions can be stressful. As a competitor I remember and appreciate those key individuals that reminded me of the balance that’s needed; that we are snowboarding, we are here to have fun, and compete.
We are accepting registrations. If you are interested in training with Calgary Snowboard Club, please contact info@snowboardcoach.ca or visit our website at http://www.snowboardcoach.ca/
