Get Your Nordic On! Clinic Recap
Minocqua, WI
July 23, 2009
On Thursday afternoon, July 23, CXC Elite Team skiers Brian Gregg and Garrott Kuzzy led an American Birkebeiner Get Your Nordic On! technique clinic at the new Premier Physical Medicine facility in Woodruff, WI. The skate technique clinic was attended by skiers and coaches from the Lakeland and Rhinelander High School ski teams. Premier Physical Medicine provided an ideal location for the clinic. For the warm-up skiers were run through a series of grueling obstacles on “The Hill,” Premier’s man-made hill behind their clinic comprised of paths, stairs, tires, logs, and even a tunnel.
Brian and Garrott kept everyone on their toes, running them through the CXC Team’s new coordination and agility workout. Lakeland High School coaches Ken & Pam Schoville commented on how challenging these drills were, but added that they were also a lot of fun and ski specific.
Warmed-up and feeling sharp, the entire group was very attentive and picked up quickly on the technique progressions, both on foot and roller skis. Premier’s owner, Dr. Jim Mullen, was also on hand and demonstrated a number of active stretches that will help improve range of motion and prevent injury for the skiers. Brian and Garrott would also like to thank Dr. Dave Kozeluh of Family Dentistry in Minocqua for his support as the CXC Team dentist—keeping our smiles bright.
