Meet The Coaches

Telemark Head Coach Adam Elliot

Head Coach Adam Elliot (NCCP# 984975)

Coach Adam Elliot has been the Telemark Head Coach since 2008.  Adam has been skiing at Telemark since he was 3 years old and enjoyed many successful years racing for Telemark.  While he occasionally demonstrates that he continues to be one of the top competitors in the province with podium placements in Masters’ division races, his main passion and effort is in passing on his considerable expertise in cross country ski technique, training, conditioning, and waxing to our Junior Race athletes.

Adam is certified “Train to Compete” “Competition Development Advanced Gradation”, and a Graduate of the Two year Advanced Coaching Diploma NCI at the Canadian Sports Institute  and is also a Head Coach for the BC Ski Team.

Adam’s Coaching Philosophy

I Love XC Skiing! Half of the highest recorded VO2MAX scores are from cross country skiers; competing in this sport is very physically demanding. A wide variety of training opportunities can be utilized including high elevation mountain Running, Skiing on Glaciers in the middle of summer, Cycling, Strength and of course Roller Skiing.

It is my privilege to providing exposure to a variety of training adventures and experiences which raise athlete comfort zone and personal limitations while also providing athletes with the tools to become capable active successful people.

My goal for the Telemark Racers is to deliver good experiences in a supportive encouraging and progressively structured training environment so members may achieve their goals of performance excellence. My Job’s privilege is to support others on their Journey to Performance Excellence with my infectious love of my sport, passionate leadership, technical gifts and work ethic.

Biathlon Head Coach – Chris

Halldorson (NCCP#1074324)

Coach Chris has extensive experience as a coach and competitor in both nordic skiing and biathlon.  As a biathlon coach he is certified at the Competition Development “Learn to Compete” level by the NCI, and in nordic coaching he is certified at the “Train to Train” advanced level.  More information about the Telemark Biathlon club can be found on their web site at http://telemarkbiathlon.com/.
