"One thing everyone needs to understand about Paul Tollefson and his coaching techniques: it is comprehensive and state of the art. The progression Paul employs in ski racing is based on stance, balance, athletic movement, tactics and mental discipline. It's not isolated to just one central method but is geared towards taking the athlete and his or her goals, to the next level. With Colin and Trevor, the instruction is appropriately defined to suit each of their individual needs as ski racers and includes a program, both dry-land and on-snow, that is really thorough and precise. More than anything, Paul brings a rare combination of passion, enthusiasm, wisdom, experience, creativity, and common sense to his coaching which has energized and inspired Colin and Trevor to be the best they can be. What Paul is doing for the race community and my two young, passionate ski racers, is unprecedented and in my opinion, to be lauded."

After their on-snow training session, Paul spent more time technically disecting their form in slow motion, emphasising both the things done right as well as the areas needing improvement, than any coach has done for them in the past decade. Both my kids walked away with a much better understanding of exactly what specific areas need work and how to approaching fixing these problems. They also left having made a great new friend.
Paul's energy and passion for the sport of ski racing are genuine. His style of communicating with racers comes from an honest desire to see them achieve their goals and seems a good fit for anyone seeking to maximize performance while still having "serious fun".
We've signed up for Paul's session 8 summer camp and I'll be happy to provide a report back to this site for an update. Stay tuned!"
