A week ago, I received an email from Todd Schumlick, the creator/owner of PerformX Racing. I did a short training program with him last winter. This year, I have been selected to join his Elite Training program.
Why is this a big deal? One can’t simply go up to this man, throw some money at him and expected to be taken under his wing. With Todd training guys like Aaron Gwin, Steve Smith, Brook Macdonald, and Sam Blenkinsop, he doesn’t have the time to train just anybody. In his email, he said that he has a reputation to uphold, and that he’s fortunate to be in the position to pick the “best of the best”. You can imagine how that made me feel, right? Pretty awesome. I will be going up to Whistler/Pemberton at the end of the month to do some testing and to learn new movements and exercises in the gym. I’m really looking forward to this training and how it will help me next season!
Here is a Pinkbike article that talks a bit more about what Todd and his athletes get up to.
