Hey guys!
It's coming closer to rosh hashana which means another winter sports season is soon upon us (most seasons open around motzei Sukkot.)
Israel Bobsled and skeleton is currently recruiting! If you're interested in getting back at your overly protective Jewish mother, or just like throwing caution to the wind and have an itch to represent the White and Blue, hit me up. Since pyeongchang 2018 we have recruited 5 new athletes to the program in bobsled, parabobsled, male and female skeleton! Join us.
Edit: it is possible to compete as a shomer shabbos athlete. Most lower-tier competitions are held on Thursday/Friday or another 2-day pair, where you only need to do one of the races.
What is needed:
Parabobsled: nothing! Just a love of Israel. We'll teach you the rest. Help Israel qualify for the 2022 Paralympic games!
Bobsled: ability to push something big, willingness to lose a few brain cells.
Skeleton: same as bobsled, but if you're into doing things solo, this is the sport for you.
What support do we have for you?
Unfortunately we can't provide any shekalim right now, we rely on fundraising.
HOWEVER--
You will come into a program with the major advantage of having the advice and remote coaching of an array of athletes who all love Israel. We've made the Olympics once, be our next Olympian!
Preferred skills are sprinting and weightlifting. If you don't think you can be an Olympic athlete or are looking for a part time commitment, we can set you up as well in international races with the goal of achieving what it is you're looking to achieve.
Best,
