RNRM Nordic Team - Ex Snow Globe
by Major Ainsley RM, RNWSA Nordic Discipline Manager
It’s been my pleasure as the RN Nordic Discipline Manager to meet so many talented, passionate and determined people from athletes to the invaluable staff at HMS Temeraire. I naively thought this sport was as simple as strapping a set of skis to a pair of lungs and sitting back to watch the silverware flow in. What is apparent is that success is reliant on individuals with a determined attitude, the courage to attempt something unfamiliar, get back up after failing and the self discipline to learn from mistakes. These qualities were abundant in Ridnaun (Italy) on Ex Snow Globe, an exercise to develop grassroots talent from across the Navy and a springboard for representation at the Interservice Championships.
