Bend Endurance Academy leader wants all kids to be able to enjoy outdoor sports
(Update: Adding video, comments from Rougeux, another coach, young participant) I like how it makes you feel you feel free
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) Climbing Smith Rock, skiing at Mt. Bachelor and biking down the Crooked River Canyon are all activities that make Central Oregon unique.
Mike Rougeux, named last summer as the new executive director of Bend Endurance Academy, wants sports like these to be available to everyone. Kids that maybe, they don t have a passion. They ve tried sports and I kind of like it but that s not really my thing, Rougeux said Wednesday.
