The Steamboat Orthopedic & Spine Institute is enthusiastic to solidify a local collaboration with the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club to provide coordination of medical care for injured athletes. Certified Athletic Trainer Forrest Pecha ATC serves as Medical Coordinator and oversees injury management, medical care coordination, and education for coaches, athletes and parents.
When an injury occurs, Pecha manages an integrated team of medical providers with the goal of connecting the athlete, parents, the entire medical team, and the athlete’s coaches. “We recognize that an important part of an injured athlete’s recovery is their connection to their community, including their medical providers, so they can successfully return to their sport team,” Pecha said.
Several Steamboat-based physicians are closely involved and engaged with the program, attending events and consulting with athletes and their families.

We are launching a new podcast hosted Nicole DeBoom! The Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club Show will inspire and educate sports parents, athletes, and coaches with unique perspectives and insights into the winter sports world. We have so many secrets and stories to share as we play in the mountains we call home. We are one of North America's oldest and most successful winter sports clubs, serving tens of thousands of athletes for over a century with more Olympians than any other club. Our podcast will discuss topics ranging from choosing the best program for your young athlete and navigating the expenses of skiing and snowboard programs to tips for parenting different children in different sports and life lessons learned through participation in sports. We'll also interview some amazing athletes, including our 100th Olympian, Decker Dean. Listen now to our first podcast, and stay tuned for more!

Athlete of the Week, Presented by Alpine Bank |
|
|
|
U15 Moguls Head Coach Chase Harr nominated Lyllah Miller as our athlete of the week and praised Lyllah for her commitment over the summer. “Lyllah is an athlete who leads first by action and follows with words,” he said. “This summer, she put in every bit of work needed to qualify her back tuck and went above and beyond by helping teammates make great strides toward their goals. She had the highest attendance record on the team this summer and showed up rain or shine with a smile on her face! Quick thinker, humble, and passionate are just a few words that describe Lyllah Miller.
We look forward to her taking her new-found tricks to snow this year and continuing her journey in the Moguls world!”

SSWSC Snowboard Director moves on to coach the US Snowboard Pro Halfpipe Team. |
Congratulations and Farewell to Maddy Schaffrick
SSWSC Snowboard Director Maddy Schaffrick announced this week she would step down on December 1, 2022, to work for US Ski & Snowboard as assistant coach of the US Snowboard Pro Halfpipe Team.
Maddy will return to Steamboat Springs in October and November after a trip in late September with the US Snowboard Halfpipe Team and help SSWSC transition the new snowboard director and recruit and retain new coaches. Maddy’s new position is based in Steamboat Springs, and she is committed to staying connected with SSWSC and local snowboard athletes when home during the winter.
The search for a new snowboard director will begin immediately. SSWSC leadership is committed to continuing and progressing the positive culture and community of the snowboard program created under the leadership of Maddy Schaffrick. "While we hate to see Maddy go, it is a testament to her work to get the opportunity to coach the national team athletes, many of the best riders in the world. She never backed down from a challenge through her career at the SSWSC, and I'm sure she will immediately be an impactful coach for the U.S. Snowboard Team." said SSWSC Associate Executive Director Jon Nolting. The job posting is available on the SSWSC website, click here to apply.

New Executive Director for SSWSC |
We are thrilled to announce that we have hired Brian Krill, the current Executive Director and Head of School at Sugar Bowl Academy, to fill the Executive Director position at the SSWSC.
Brian will join the staff full-time on July 1, 2023, after completing his commitment for the 2022-2023 school year at Sugar Bowl Academy and as his youngest daughter finishes her senior year of high school in Truckee. The SSWSC leadership team is committed to leading the club until Brian can begin full-time employment in July. We have developed a transition plan to ensure that the club's operations are unaffected and that the transition is smooth for athletes, their families, staff, and partners. We will share those details with you in the upcoming weeks.
Brian has a master's degree in nonprofit management, was the Club Development Manager for US Ski and Snowboard from 2013 to 2016, and Director of Sport Education from 2015 to 2016. In addition, his Executive Director experiences in Jackson, WY, and Sugar Bowl, CA, provide him with a solid understanding of club needs and best practices.
