Located at Lake Tahoe, California, Sugar Bowl Academy is a fully accredited college preparatory high school for competitive skiers. It's a world-class ski academy for Alpine, Nordic and Freeride athletes.

BUILDING THE BEST YOU.

Training is the process of preparing an athlete physically, technically, tactically, and psychologically for the highest levels of performance. This sharply contrasts with general exercise, which engages people in activities that are not designed to achieve the highest levels of performance. We train at SBA to develop our student-athletes to their genetic potential in the safest way possible.

Development and Excellence

We design and implement our year-round conditioning and strength training program with the long term in mind. This means training for success now, while planning for continued success as our student-athletes move on with their athletic careers. Our comprehensive plan includes ski specific exercises designed to improve capacity on the hill and the trails. And through strategic periodization we target peak performances during the most important times of the competitive season.

YOUR INDIVIDUALIZED TRAINING PROGRAM WILL INCLUDE:

  • An intense series of periodized training blocks.

  • Regular physical assessments and tracking of your workouts.

  • Energy Systems Development to provide the base you need to put down quality training on the hill.

  • Nutritional training to properly fuel your body.

  • Rest and recovery training to keep you fresh and healthy.

  • Regular sessions with a certified athletic trainer.

  • Sport psychology sessions as you transition to on-snow training and competition.
