Orono Alpine Ski Team ~ Coach

We are proud to announce that Kelly McGoldrick has been selected as our Orono Spartans Co-Head Alpine Ski Coach with her father Brian McGoldrick.

Kelly comes to us with over 20 years of downhill ski instruction in Minnesota and at Beaver Creek Ski School.  Kelly has 6 years of developmental race coaching with the Buck Hill Development race team. Kelly raced alpine in High School for Wayzata Senior High School.  

Kelly is a kindergarten teacher in the Wayzata School District. She is a graduate of Wayzata Senior High school, and holds a Master’s in Education from the University of Minnesota and a Master’s in Public Health from Boston University.  

Kelly’s coaching philosophy centers on the belief that strong relationships are the foundation of any successful team. 

I am committed to fostering an atmosphere of mutual respect, open communication, and shared goals. Whether you are an athlete, parent, fellow coach, or supporter of our team, your involvement and support are invaluable.  My goal is to not only develop skilled athletes but also to help each player grow as individuals both on and off the course.

Kelly is looking forward to continuing the work of Orono’s prior coach Heidi.  Kelly is excited to meet the athletes and their families.
