Ripple Effect Award

10/28/2018

0 Comments

 
The Ripple Effect award is given to athletes whose actions have a positive effect on their coaches, teammates, perception of the team by the public or the University of Wyoming community.

I would like to have Maddy get the Ripple effect award! She’s been doing a lot of hard work with all the leaf raking and the Patagonia orders with little to no help. With all this stress she’s still keeping positive and HAPPY!

I'd like to nominate maddy for the ripple effect for this week for all the work she has put into organizing leaf raking and the patagonia order!

Maddy has been working hard getting the Patagonias and been positive and encouraging at practice and leaf raking!!

I think Maddy should get the ripple effect award.  I realize leaf raking and Patagonia sweaters are her job, but it's been super busy and she's doing well.  Leaf raking may end up being the biggest fundraiser of the year end she's leading the charge.

I would like to nominate Bryan. We had a great run on Saturday on which he shared with me his life story and he gave me some good advice about life and school and he’s been a great role model for me.

Zoe was just a real friend to me this week, she helped me talk over some stuff that was bothering me, and she follows through with her commitments.

For ripple effect I think we should give one to the whole team because no one felt good at all but we persevered and got 17 ish lawn done this week! ~ Maddy

Kat made my weekend better :) I was a freshman with no idea what to do and she invited me to pack food with her and made me feel like less of a deer in headlights.

I would like to nominate Nadia for the Ripple Effect Award. She was very helpful around the house this weekend, cleaning up and doing dishes and such :)

Ben was amazing this weekend! Every time I looked up for someone to help he was there, even when there wasn't an obvious job to be done he found a way to help!

I wanted to nominate Ella for the ripple effect. She’s always positive and engaged and she always makes sure people feel included.

Ella made my week better! I was injured this week and she still supported me and tried to help anyway she could.

I would like to nominate Trevor. He’s just done a great job of being inclusive of everyone and made me feel like an important member of the team.

Yay Hill Resistance/LT!  We have completed the bulk of 'filling our bucket' and are now ready to start introducing some speed into the equation! I know some of you have been waiting in breathless anticipation to go fast so you should be excited!

The goal of Hill Resistance is to start working on our Lactate Threshold and getting your muscles used to working at a higher output. Bring your bounding poles to practice on Wednesday.

REMINDER: UW athletes be sure to check your practice and volunteer points at the following link. If you do not meet the numbers for your chosen team you will not be able to race this winter. If you have conflicts and are training on your own be sure to contact coaches, there are things that can be done but they cannot be done in December! Don't wait until it's too late! bit.ly/SteamboatRankings

Team Training
  • Monday: If you didn't take a day off on on the weekend this would be a good day to take a nap!
  • Tuesday:
    • 6:25 am, CrossFit 7220 - Run & Strength
    • 5:15pm, Education Gym - Yo-ski (combination of yoga and core)
  • Wednesday:
    • 4:15pm - Hill Resistance run with poles. Meet at Stadium Parking Lot, look for the Big Red Dodge AKA Clifford
  • Thursday:
    • 6:25 am, CrossFit 7220 - Run & Strength
    • 5:15pm, Education Gym - Yo-ski (combination of yoga and core)
  • Friday: 6:15am Turtle Rock Coffee - Double-pole Rollerski
  • Saturday: LT Rollerski info TBA
  • Sunday: some active recovery activity of about 1 hour would be PERFECT!

Let's get that Hill Resistance and hopefully some baby snow dragons!

Ripple Effect Award!

10/1/2018

For years we have had 'Citizenship Points' for athletes going above and beyond what would be expected of them and helping their coaches, teammates, or other people. They have generally been hidden but played into Steamboat Points.

We have decided to change the name to the Ripple Effect Award and make them not only public but make it possible for anyone to nominate someone for the award. The idea of this award is that athletes actions have a positive effect on their coaches, teammates, perception of the team by the public or UW, or some other way that will ripple out into the team and community.

This week is the first award and I am excited to give an incredible list of athletes who not only completed a very grueling Medal Test at 7:30am on Saturday morning  and not only attended the Medicine Bow Trail Day BUT worked extremely hard, without prodding, for the entire 2.5 hours. The work accomplished was substantial and the teamwork demonstrated was phenomenal.

Congratulations to the following people for being part of the inaugural Ripple Effect Award!
  • Ben
  • Bryan
  • Derek
  • Kailee
  • Lukas
  • Maddy
  • Matt W
  • Nadia
  • Nico
  • Rylie
  • Sydney
  • Zoe
YOU ROCK OUR WORLD!
