Team Summit Park & Pipe Director Teddy Goggin thinks the novel coronavirus restrictions on sports have left athletes hungrier to take advantage of the opportunities they are given.
Goggin and Team Summit Executive Director CB Bechtel have seen that approach and positive attitude manifest across the organization’s teams and athletes, and specifically in the freeskiers and snowboarders who have qualified for Rev Tour contests in the coming weeks.
“I’m just really excited for the future,” Goggin said. “We believe in long-term athletic development, and seeing that unfold through many years with hard work as well as rest. This has been exciting to take part in. It’s not one day, or competition that matters, but progress over many years.”
