Just 10 years after the team was formed, Moorhead High School qualified its first boys team for the Minnesota Nordic Ski State Championships this past February.
Head coach Eric Wicklund joins the show to discuss how he makes things work at a school more known for hockey in a town that is flat and frigid all winter and hot, windy and humid all summer.
We dive into the daily challenges of directing training, managing equipment, teaching technique and inspiring passion in a place where weather, culture and other factors aren't always conducive to growing the sport.
This was a really fun conversation with many powerful messages for athletes, coaches and master-blasters alike!
Enjoy!
