We are looking for three coaches to join the US Ski Team Continental Cup Team staff for the World Junior and U23 championships in Poland this winter. Coaches who wish to attend should have an in-depth knowledge of waxing, be very hard working and able to organize and manage, have experience with junior and or U23 athletes and be able to maintain a positive attitude throughout seven consecutive days of racing. Coaches must also be fit enough to test wax and skis.
We encourage all coaches to apply for Junior World and U23 coaching positions. This is a great experience that will be rewarding in many ways.
Please send a resume and cover letter to mwhitcomb@ussa.org by October 25th. The staff will be selected by November 1st.
Selection criteria for athletes are posted at www.ussa.org – go to cross country, selection criteria.
