Any idea what "the whole programme" would be?

19th Place "A Gold For Me" Says Chemmy on Sochi Olympic Performance
Login
Living there, coaching, travel and accommodation around USA and Europe for training camps and competitions, equipment. You'll need a small fortune just to get to the start line.
Sponsorship is pretty much non-existent.
If I'm going to invest my child and money in it, then...nah, you're right. I should go into it without checking it out.

Do you really need it spelt out? For starters, and I'm sure, there's more: equipment,clothing, lift passes, access to ski areas, coaching, transport, accommodation, insurance, food, race licences,etc etc. Imagine the costs involved in going on a season-long ski trip and then multiplying the costs many times.

TJ Baldwin is one of the best we have, he learnt to ski on the dry slope here in Norwich. He missed out on an Olympic place, 3 of the 5 events being cancelled. Running later with worn piste conditions is a lottery.
I know a local business owner who sponsored him for several years, but we're not talking proper funding. I also had a go at getting him additional sponsorship from the company I was working for at the time. But there is very little interest sponsoring alpine skiers even when they are as good as TJ.

Tin pot - perhaps Wayne Rooney could help out? :roll:
The plan is.... there's no plan!
