Sasha Rearick
Congratulations to Sasha Rearick, men's alpine head coach, for winning the 2010 USSA Alpine International Coach of the Year award. Sasha was presented with the award during the Visa U.S. Alpine Championships in Whiteface, NY. Sasha is a model leader for a modern era national team. He creates an environment where all motivated and hard-working individuals can excel - by giving them freedom within the parameters of accountability and responsibility to team. Sasha's program champions attitude and heart. He himself exemplifies these characteristics. As a leader, Sasha demands innovation. He is continually working to learn more himself. He's readily willing to share his thoughts with and support others, showing interest down the developmental pipeline. A tireless and instrumental force on the hill, he still found a way to get home in time for the birth of his second child, Zali. This award is a tribute to Sasha's full staff in a great season, but truly it is a reflection of the strong values that Sasha instills as a leader, values that will drive his athletes to continually perform at their best.
