Subject: MultiSport Canada Recharge With Milk Development Team - Opportunity for athletes

We are very proud to announce that MultiSport Canada has joined forces with Recharge With Milk to form a development team for up-and-coming Ontario triathletes. We will be selecting four female and four male triathletes/duathletes. These eight athletes will be given a minimum of four free races, a racing jersey and mentoring by professional coaches and athletes. Our mentoring team is made up of Richard Pady of Healthy Results Training. Nigel Gray, Fiona Whitby and Slyvie Dansereau of NRG Performance Training and Cindy Lewis of Absolute Endurance.

Athletes who are interested in being part of our team should submit a short racing resume which includes their race results for the past few years and their reasons for entering the sport of Triathlon or Duathlon and their aspirations for racing in the sport. If they have a goal of racing professionally we would also like to know their goals whether ITU, Ontario based or Half/Full Iron distance. Please submit your resume by email and include Development Team Resume in the subject line.

"MultiSport Canada has always looked for ways to support athletes and the development of the sports of Triathlon and Duathlon. We realize that there are not a lot of opportunities for young athletes to obtain sponsorship and support so this is our small way to help. We will continue to look for and develop new ideas that will assist athletes." - John Salt

Realistically, this is aimed at the pointy end of the field- those who are fast and can get even faster, I would think a lot of younger athletes would look at this as a great opportunity.  There are definitely a couple of faster young guys on the Ontario forum who might do well to apply. 

John can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't read this to be aimed at the middle of the road, older, age groupers.

Are you telling me my mid life crisis pursuing triathlon doesn't make me a good prospect? Cool

 

Seriously though, great idea, and glad there is this opportunity.

I tend to agree with the above. I'm sure they'll be looking for the twenty-something athlete (or younger) that already has the results and potential to get even better.

Of course I hope I'm wrong and my 31 years of age doesn't put me over the hill.

Try 41.  I've only done one season so I'm still young to the sport....

I don't know what type of athlete they will choose, the only thing I know is that if I had though I was not good enough, I would have not been chosen to be part of one team this year.

I don't think I saw any requirement that you have to be an elite athlete, or in the top 10, to apply.

So, if I was you (but I'm not ), I would apply and try, you'll never know what could happen

Icing on the cake, the application is free

Wasn't trying to pick on you - but I just re-read it, and I'm pretty sure I'm right.  This is a development squad, they are looking for juniors or guys/gals in their 20's for the most part that show potential to be successful racers.

Yes, I would agree that this is geared toward the younger athletes who are aspiring to race at an elite level.

The reality is there are no real support programs and sponsorship for individuals is virtually nonexistent for those who are "trying to make it". We have always tried to help athletes and develop the sport. It is our way of helping. 

On another note I am thinking of another program that will include "age group" athletes mentoring other "age group" athletes. Stay tuned!
