Mark's Background
I’m an Olympian, professional sailor, and coach with a lifelong passion for skiing and cycling. Over the years, I’ve experienced both the highs and the challenges of international competition, both as an athlete and as a coach. I hope to bring those experiences, along with my dedication to sport and athlete wellbeing, into my role as Club Welfare Officer.
My journey into the world of children’s ski racing began in 2022, when my eldest daughter, Sophia, joined the club. In 2024, our younger daughter Isla followed in her sister’s footsteps as a U10 racer, while Sophia is now racing in the U14 category.
What started with a few regional races has grown into a full-blown immersion into the world of artificial dry slope racing. These days, you’ll often find me in the ski servicing area wondering, “How did I end up here?” Like many of you, my wife Helen and I signed our daughters up to ASRC because they absolutely loved skiing and wanted to train and compete year-round. What started as their passion has quickly become a full family affair; we’re all involved now!
With children now in both Group 1 and Group 2, I’m a regular presence at club training sessions and races. I’m always happy to chat with any parent or athlete about any issue or concern. Whether it’s big or small, please feel free to approach me. Everything shared will be treated with sincerity, confidentiality, and a genuine commitment to finding the best outcome. My goal is to help ensure our club remains a safe, fun, and positive environment for everyone involved.
We’re lucky to have such a fantastic community of athletes, coaches, and parents, and I believe that by working together, we can keep the club the special place it is.
