Coach Matt Klick (PhD) has been competing in endurance sports for over 25 years. From skiing across Baffin Island and first ascents in Alaska to local cyclocross races and the Birkie, Matt has long identified with the time-crunched but goal-oriented athlete. In nordic skiing, Matt has been Master National Champion, won his age group at Birkie classic (18th overall; 2nd in skate the year prior) and has multiple age-group podiums and top elite wave finishes in some of America's biggest races. Matt has also been a Colorado cyclocross state champion and competed across the country in cycling, gravel, skimo, and ultra running races. Matt has previously coached juniors in Montana, Colorado, and Norway as well, (including a young Petter Northug). But it was his experience achieving his own goals through careful preparation amid a hectic job that included international travel, plus his enthusiasm for working with people and empathetic communication, that led Matt to start Red Elephant Racing. (Matt is seen here with Aksel, his long-time agility coordinator.)
Coach Nathan Alsobrook (MSc) is Red Elephant's Senior Advisor. As Head Coach of Bowdoin College Nordic ski team, Nathan has propelled the program to unseen-before heights, routinely qualifying men and women to NCAA nationals, including three All-Americans, and seeing all of his student athletes set personal bests on snow while succeeding in rigorous coursework. Crucial to all this is how he has accomplished what he has: combining training fundamentals with esprit de corps, fun, empathy, and positive motivation -- which makes Coach Alsobrook a perfect RER Ambassador and Senior Advisor, helping with trouble spots, revising plans to adjust to new circumstances, or assess tricky technique challenges.
