BARRIE’S HORSESHOE RESORT ANNOUNCES INNOVATIVE MULTISPORT ACADEMY
BARRIE, ONTARIO, October 28, 2013 – Just in time for the winter ski season, Horseshoe, a Skyline Resort,
has announced the launch of Horseshoe MultiSport Academy, a one of a
kind program designed to engage families in lifelong activity and sport
development.
The Horseshoe MultiSport Academy (HMA) is led by Bill
Trayling, a former member of the National Kayak Team through two Olympic
Games and seven World Championships, lauded championship canoe coach,
educator and multisport athlete himself.
“Horseshoe
is extremely fortunate to have Bill Trayling leading the way with our
new MultiSport Academy,” says general manager Sean Billing. “Bill’s
wealth of knowledge and passion for training combined with Horseshoe’s
lush landscape creates the perfect place to start your family fitness
journey.”
In
line with Horseshoe Resort’s mission of providing a healthy lifestyle
alternative for families, children and adults the addition of the
MultiSport Academy supports existing athletic programs already in place.
Ultimately, HMA aims to arm every participant and athlete with the
skills and training necessary to pursue their path in the discipline of
their choice.
To
help athletes along their path, HMA has put together a team of acclaimed
coaches including new Head Alpine Coach; Nigel Cooper who has more than
20 years’ experience in performance based athlete development at
Whistler Mountain Ski Club, Ski & Snowboard Club Vail, BC Alpine Ski
Association and Alpine Canada. The resort is also welcoming back
several seasoned coaches including Head Nordic Coach, Andrew Doble and
Snow School Director, Brooke Lidstone.
“We
have some of the best coaches in the industry working with us,” said
Bill Trayling. “I’m proud to be working with a team dedicated to
promoting and supporting a healthy active lifestyle.”
Under
Bill’s direction, the MultiSport Academy is working with partners, head
coaches and mentors that not only further the physical and educational
development of participants and guests, but provide support on social
and emotional levels to truly develop a well-rounded athlete. Through
the MultiSport Academy, Horseshoe Resort hopes to inspire guests and
athletes both young and old to engage in year-round
physical activity
and have fun while they’re doing it.
