| Trevor
- From past to present
Growing up among the Rocky
Mountains, Trevor spent much of his youth
on the slopes of the now extinct Fortress
Mountain. With ski instructors for parents,
and an older brother already involved in
the sport, he had all the ingredients of
success. By the age of 3 he had quickly
recognized his family's passion for the
sport and began to take appreciate what
the sport had to offer. At age 5 he was
introduced to "Racing" through the Nancy
Greene Program where he developed technically
as a young skier. Soon, it was off to Juvenile.
Although strong technically, Trevor lacked
size and confidence (who knew these 2 factors
would still haunt him today…) and therefore
encountered difficulty succeeding.
After joining the National
Alpine Training Center Ski Team, he filled
what voids he had and began too see desired
accomplishments, some of which involved
the podium at the Canadian Juvenile Championships.
His first few years of FIS proved to be
great learning experiences, where he truly
chose his path as an athlete, and began
to strive for excellence. In the 2001- 2002
season he qualified for his first of what
would be 2 years on the Alberta Ski Team.
In completing that 2nd year he qualified
for a Canadian Ski Team Development Group
where, although named to the Alberta Ski
Team, he spent the year training and competing
with the Canadian Men's Junior Team. This
opportunity proved to be very successful
as his 2003- 2004 season was full of success,
including an unfortunate mishap at the World
Junior Championships during a near podium
performance.
Currently Trevor is going
into his 3rd year with the team, and has
a strong focus on competing in the 2010
olympics. |
