Beyond the bike skills learned, our MTB Kids program emphasizes the development of character and vital social and emotional skills that last a lifetime.
Performance Character Development
Through the challenges and triumphs of mountain biking, children gain resilience and perseverance as they navigate varied terrains and tackle new obstacles. Kids learn the importance of patience and focus during sustained climbs and technical descents, enhancing their ability to handle real-life situations with calm and determination.
Moral Character Development
Through our S.T.O.K.E. values (Stewardship, Teamwork, Ownership, Kindness, Empathy), and group rides, we create learning environments that foster teamwork, healthy communication, trail etiquette, environmental stewardship, responsibility, a sense of community and respect for others.
These life lessons go beyond the trail, helping to mold confident, compassionate individuals equipped to meet life’s challenges head-on.

Athletics is a platform and a means to a greater end. There is a higher purpose than winning.

Athlete-centered coaching requires letting go of your ego and accepting that sticky learning is not always quick learning. It requires recognizing that today's result is not a great indicator of learning and development if the outcome is a result of coaching influence, not athlete discovery.
