Nomads - 2 training options - Utah team and Remote team
For athletes serious about downhill mountain biking, with pathways to World Cup racing.
Open to athletes wanting to develop their skills and confidence for a successful athletic career and eventually compete on the World Cup or other Elite levels of racing, the Nomads team will guide you on a crystal-clear pathway of progression and unwavering support. We’re not just building strong bodies, we're nurturing strong minds, so you can handle anything the sport and life throws your way.
Training sessions will be conducted throughout Utah, Salt Lake, and Summit counties. The majority of our training will be at Deer Valley, Solitude and PCMR when those resorts open. We will also have training opportunities in Southern Utah, Colorado, California and Canada. Our full training schedule will be released when the race schedules are announced.
For those who want to be a part of the Outlaw Nomads, but live outside Utah, the remote program is a great option for you. In addition to support and coaching at the races, there are training opportunities in Southern Utah, Colorado, California and Canada, and Tyson and the coaches will stay in contact to provide regular feedback and input on your training and progress through the season.
But, there are a few requirements that come with being part of the Nomads team, which can be found HERE. It's not going to be easy, but that's the point. The requirements are designed to enable athletes to keep up with the rigorous pace of the team and stay on track to accomplish lofty goals in this sport. Many of these requirements are completed on the honor system, so it's up to the athletes and the parents to work closely together to complete the daily tasks. We strongly encourage athletes to get started on the physical requirements early and be ahead of the game when the season begins.
The intent of the Team Requirements is to:
- Build a world-class team
- Build greater team unity
- Award athletes based on merit
- Increase attendance at training
- Place more responsibility on the athlete as it's their choice to join the team. They want to be here, and have earned the right to be here and continue to do so daily with their character, discipline, and passion.
- Create a clear pathway for athletes to progress and gain further support for their dreams
So, get ready to bring your A-game and show us what you're made of. Join the Nomads and surround yourself with other driven athletes who are all about crushing goals and having a blast along the way. We are all on the same mission: being the best we can be in this sport and in life. Let's ride!
