There are many ways for parents to be involved with CJC activities &#8212; talk to the coaches or staff to find out what opportunities are the best fit for you and your child.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While cycling is a lifelong-sport and can feel like a lifestyle, we believe the most supportive parents understand that their child&#8217;s identity is\u00a0separate\u00a0from their child\u2019s athletic ability or performance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thank you for putting in this effort to strengthen our team while supporting your child through their cycling pursuits!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Your Coaches:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>All coaches in leadership positions for CJC are adults who have gone through many types of trainings, certifications and experiences that have prepared them to take our groups of juniors on the rides or trips they have been assigned. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A coach&#8217;s primary role is to safeguard the physical and emotional health of their athletes above all else; then our goal is to make learning and riding together fun within this safe, respectful and positive environment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Assistants may have less experience \/ fewer certifications, so they will be working directly with the more experienced leaders; but they have the same expectations to safeguard their riders and make practices enjoyable and productive. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Safesport Code:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>CJC and Cog Wild proudly use Safesport to help train our employees, volunteers, and establish expectations for our team and work environments. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Read more about the <a href=\"https:\/\/uscenterforsafesport.org\/response-and-resolution\/safesport-code\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Safesport Code here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Respect &amp; Sharing:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Respect begets respect. <\/strong>Respect yourself, your equipment, your limits, your strengths, your coaches, our environment and our shared time together. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Actively participate. <\/strong>Attend with a positive attitude &amp; open mind so you are mindfully present, ready to engage and prepared to learn from your coaches and peers. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Work towards shared success. <\/strong>Share your thoughts, ideas and experiences when it helps push your group forward.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Disciplined participation.<\/strong> Listen to your leaders and refrain from negative behaviors that may affect your own progress or that take away from the experience of others within your group.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Represent proudly. <\/strong>All riders represent CJC, Cog Wild and our greater cycling community: each rider and every group must look and act PRO whenever we are together, training on our own, interacting online, or participating in events &#8212; owning this feels great and makes others want to join our team!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mindset:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Focus on progress over results, and fun over pressure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rise to the challenge. Some days will be great but others will be challenging. Know that our coaches and your teammates will be on the journey with you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enjoy your accomplishments and celebrate when your teammates succeed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Never Forget the Feeling&#8221; of being in the moment, exploring, working through challenges successfully, unlocking new skills, and being part of an awesome team: #NFTF<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Personal Responsibility:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Self-awareness:<\/strong> riders will ride within their limits, understand the goals of the day, and engage appropriately with their coaches &amp; peers throughout practice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Self-respect:<\/strong> riders must be true to themselves within the team environment in order to build confidence and knowledge while minimizing negative self-talk or comparisons.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Self-reliance:<\/strong> riders progressively learn to take smarter actions that will help themselves in cycling and in life. Examples: riders can pack their own snacks before they leave for practice; they can put an extra tube in their bag for the ride; or they can get caught up on homework before they leave on a team trip.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Through sports, we can learn meaningful lessons about taking ownership of one&#8217;s actions, being accountable for one&#8217;s choices, and feel empowered to be our best.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Learning Requires Energy:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Drive your bike. Instead of going along for the ride, we teach riders to be active drivers of their minds, bodies and bike. This is a massive energy demand so eat, drink, sleep and prepare well in advance for each practice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Training makes you tired &#8212; rest makes you stronger. Use this rule of 3rds to know you&#8217;re making healthy choices to balance school, riding and other commitments: 1\/3 of your activities you feel strong and amazing, 1\/3 are neutral or normal, and 1\/3 are challenging. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mental and physical effort are equally straining &#8212; it&#8217;s impossible to separate your mind from your body while training or performing so remember to take care of your entire self.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Talk with your coaches or parents when you need help finding balance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fairplay:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Riders will proudly participate, train and compete without the use of illegal, banned, or performance enhancing drugs or techniques. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Riders who choose to compete in any competitive cycling events will know and abide by the specified governing body&#8217;s rules and standards, or if there is not a governing body, they will use <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.obra.org\/racers\/rules\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">these Racing Rules and Code of Conduct as outlined by the Oregon Bicycle Racing Association<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Breach of Conduct:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>This is your team!
