January RISE Ambassadors

We're quickly moving through our RISE Ambassador announcements this season and are delighted to acknowledge the following individuals as outstanding RISE examples for our entire membership. We are excited to continue sharing more stories about our club members and how they embody the spirit of RISE both at Lake Louise and in their daily lives!

Grizzlies: Taylor Stevenson 

---

Taylor is Grizzlies RISE athlete for January, because each day she joins the group she models each of the RISE values. Taylor is a great friend to her teammates always helping them out when needed.  This month Taylor had a tough start on one day and even though she was tired, she overcame this. Taylor kept a positive attitude and worked very hard to put lots of effort into trying new skills all day. Setting this positive example, her teammates also matched her effort that day!

Race: Logan Scothrone

Logan has joined us for his first year with LLSC as a first year U16 athlete from the east coast and has completely invested in making the most of his year in Alberta! He wants to learn EVERYTHING he can about ski racing and the effort, initiative and maturity that Logan brings to training every day is why we've chosen him from RISE athlete this month. He is such a wonderful part of our U16 team; keeping that atmosphere light and fun and supportive, always asking coaches what else he can do to help, how he can get better all while sharing his love of skiing and the process with this teammates! Congrats Logan, keep up the great work and keep leading by example

All Mountain: Mohan Kalyniuk

Every Sunday, Mohan shows up to practice with a smile on his face, eager to shred no matter the conditions. His enthusiasm for skiing is inspiring, creating an all around positive environment for the entire group. He embodies our RISE motto by demonstrating continuous effort on any drill that comes his way as well as being a supportive and kind teammate at all times. Mohan’s attentiveness has been his superpower this season, setting an excellent example for the club. Keep up the great work Mohan!

Liam Morrison, Head Coach, LLAMSC

Coach: Cam Hay

Grizzlies U10+ Coach Cam is January's RISE coach ambassador. Cam exemplifies RISE to his athletes daily. Working with young athletes, Cam shares his passion and pushes them to be better, while showing them respect and patience. Cam also shows support to his fellow coaches daily by jumping in to help with anything that is needed. We are extremely lucky to have Cam working with our young athletes.

Parent: Anne Frick

Anne is an incredible member of our parent group and her support of coaches and all athletes in the U16 program makes her a stand out parent this month. Anne steps up in many ways;  from helping with athlete transportation to and from races, to giving up her ski day to help take an athlete to ski patrol...she is always thinking of others.  Her respect for our coaches and programming decisions is non-wavering and it is always a pleasure to have her around. Thank you Anne and congratulations on this RISE recognition.
