Mountain Biking

At Thunderbolts, we develop the whole athlete. Most people are not going to grow up and play sports for a living, but we help our athletes learn to love self-improvement, love their bodies and feeling them move, and to develop a positive self-image based on their own merit. Many of the skills we teach are not only required for developing explosiveness and speed, but also for long-term success in anything they choose to do.

Our coaches love kids, and love helping them develop. We spend great effort to make sure that each kid we work with feels like they have coaches who are interested in them personally and want to see them succeed. We will be their allies in their pursuit of success.

Proper, pain-free movement should be protected like gold. We are “sticklers” for form, and we work hard with our athletes to develop good mechanics so they can avoid soft tissue injuries and joint pain, and stay on the field of play – or on the track – all the way through the championships.

We reward effort and personal bests with medals, custom bands, pins and shirts – to name a few. In our short lifespan, we are already seeing our performance t-shirts around Central Maryland, and have seen kids showing off their Thunderbolts medals to strangers. We reward kids based on merit, and our athletes love showing off the tangible results of their hard work.
