Day 2 of the Ambition-Atomic Camp saw sponsored athlete Talan Skeels-Piggins arrive to present his take on the sport of ski racing and the challenges that face us all.
The 15 Atomic Camp athletes, sat in silence as Talan explained his journey through the last decade which has seen him go from skiing in the way we all know it, to being given just days to live and coping with paralysis, to competing in Vancouver at the Paralympic in 2010. Truly inspirational stuff something for every athlete to think about and take away with them.
(Sarah Woodward, Yasmin Cooper and Alicja Krahelski spelling it out for us - Smartie style)
We followed on yesterday's 'speed of movement' work with some drills on 'starts', demonstrated below by Toby Case. This afternoon saw the athletes tackle some challenging courses and we rounded everything off with another question & answers session with Talan and some discussion on start routines, focus and visualisation.
All great stuff and some big improvements going on! The kids are excited to see what they can do in the SuperStars style fitness tests with Atomic athlete - Imogen Taylor tomorrow.
For now its food time + cinema!!!!
