"We really wanted to focus on the on-snow experience for our athletes," he said. "We knew that there's one thing you have to get right - the experience of the athletes - or else you won't have a club the next year. With that as our focus, we were happy to achieve the on-snow results that we had. We think we delivered a really good experience and good coaching for our athletes." Among the top on-snow successes of the year were Alex Lundstrom winning the North American Big Mountain Skiing Championships, Nessa Dziemian winning the U.S. National Mogul Championship and a spot on the U.S. Ski Team and having eight snowboard team athletes from three countries attending the Junior Worlds in China. Though the team had plenty of successes in its first year, Walsh said he wants to make sure the program keeps progressing. There are certain areas he'll aim to improve this summer. "I've got to start thinking about the back end of the organization, the back office," he said. "I've got a lot of work to do in governance and compliance and I need to start building up the administrative end of our organization. We had some areas we could improve and one of those is communication with our team families. "From the feedback I've gotten, our athletes are happy. Some of them had really good results. But, to be candid, I know that some of our parents aren't as happy with some of the changes, because they're not hearing from us the way they had with the separate clubs. So, looking in the mirror, I know communication to our families is something I have to address this summer. They're our customers and I want them to be happy." Additionally, Walsh would like to implement more off-thesnow programming. One of his ideas is to have a series of talks during the winter to help athletes with other aspects of winter sports.

The Park Record Tiger Woods picked up a golf club when he was a toddler and never looked back, becoming one of the best golfers in history. Venus and Serena Williams began their tennis careers at a young age and went on to become superstars. But stories like those don't happen every day. It often doesn't benefit young athletes to specialize in one sport early. The Park City Sport and Wellness Coalition will host a free seminar for coaches and parents of young athletes on Friday, May 1, to address youth development in sports. Headlining the seminar is Dan Gould, Ph.D. Gould is the director of the Institute for the Study of Youth Sports and a professor in the department of BASIN RECREATION Basin Rec reports that most trails are open for recreational use. Some of the higher-elevation trails still have muddy areas, so please don't make ruts.

Finn Gundersen, the director of sport education at High Performance Sports, said it's important that parents and coaches have the most recent research on topics regarding youth sports and development. He said there is still a lot of misinformation out there when it comes to early specialization. "Tiger Woods started swinging a club at age 3," he said. "But those are just the exceptions - they aren't the reality for most people who are successful at every level. That's definitely one of the things we're up against. We all look at the phenoms and the superstars and think, ‘If my kid is going to get that, they've got to start as early as possible.'" But, he added, that simply isn't the case, and Gould will explain why at the May 1 seminar at 6:30 p.m. in the Park City High School auditorium. "Still, at the grass-roots level, there are coaches telling kids, ‘You've got to specialize. You've got to play my sport,'" Gundersen said. "We're trying to educate everyone. The more Photo courtesy of Dan Gould Dan Gould, Ph.D., will lead a seminar on youth development through sports on Friday, May 1, at the Park City High School auditorium. and more you look into it - I go to conferences all over the world - what we're finding is multisport athletes are more successful and athletes that specialize later are more successful."

"It could be quite a show, actually," he said. "There's some really good research in there that will hopefully show everyone multi-sport is the way to go." With the athletic culture of Summit County, Gundersen said there's a chance to do something special in the area. "We really have an opportunity to create in Summit County, in this Olympic venue with really motivated parents and athletes, the best practices for youth development," he said. "We could create a model that the state of Utah and other areas can use for the right way to develop athletes. We're really trying to push the idea of sports working together and sharing the athletes instead of fighting over the athletes." There will be a small presentation for coaches and sport directors at 5 p.m. at Park City High School. The 6:30 p.m. presentation in the PCHS auditorium is open to the public - parents, coaches and anyone else involved in youth sports.

"I want to do things like every other Wednesday have someone come in and talk about things like how to film and edit a video - I know a lot of athletes are into that - how to build and maintain your online social media profiles, how to tune your skis or snowboard and maybe even things like how to find and satisfy and retain a sponsor. There are a lot of neat opportunities ahead." There will also be some summer programs available to Team Park City United athletes. "We work year-round with our athletes to help develop them as athletes and as young people," Walsh said. "We'll be out on the ramps with our warm-weather programs at the Utah Olympic Park. Our hope is to begin mid-June. We're just about ready to put our registration materials on our website.
