PHILOSOPHY
Royal ‘s philosophy is developing a young person physically, mentally and morally.
1. Physically: Our goal is to build endurance, strength and speed.
2. Mentally: Competitive spirit, responsibility towards training and the enjoyment of racing.
3. Morally: Royal looks for a caring attitude towards all members of the XC team and the development of the quiet pride of success. Being a fair competitor (racing tactics) towards other schools is an important concept to nurture.

Brett Darrington has helped out numerous sports programs in the region. He has been putting Royal runners back together since I met Brett in the early 2000's. Being a runner and competitor himself, Brett understands that taking long periods of time off for an injury is not an option. He has continually helped many of my athletes get back to the trails training in the shortest amount of time possible. Brett takes the time to determine the injury, explain to the athlete why the injury most likely occurred, treats the injury and the most important, assigning strengthening exercises to keep the injury from reoccurring. Brett accepts most major insurance companies. If insurance is not an option, he has a affordable "walk-in" price.
