Ambition was the foundation for my career. It was there where I really discovered my unconditional love for the sport that has totally shaped my entire upbringing and made me the person I am today.

Former Team GB Athlete
Ambition is about so much more than just getting race results. The leadership there is 2nd to none and the ethos of hard work, commitment & teamwork, transcends the team and generations involved.

We have never had any doubts that Ambition is fully committed to producing top class ski racers who are able to fulfil both their athletic and academic potential.

Xav started his Ambition journey aged just six, at an indoor camp at Chill Factore. We could never have imagined how far he’d come in the last 9 years— now a full-time, live-in athlete on the GB pathway, with race results and performances across Europe and national team selections that we’re incredibly proud of.
From the beginning, the coaching at Ambition has been second to none, but what’s really made the difference is the structure, routine, and high expectations that Marc Telling and the team have consistently set. It’s provided a framework not just for sporting success, but for life — and it’s one Xav has truly thrived in. He’s honestly happier out there than he is at home!

MVA has been supporting some Ambition athletes over the last 2 years. The quality and delivery of their programme is remarkable, Mark and the rest of his coaches run one of the most professional set ups in the sport and provide an incredible platform for young skiers to continue progressing through the sport. It’s been a pleasure to work with Ambition and we look forward to many more years of collaboration.

I look back at my years with Ambition as some of the best. The team, the base and the program are all first class.
We were in many respects like a big family. We pushed, helped and supported each other through good times and bad times alike, always having fun along the way.
I joined Ambition as a determined, but technically flawed ski racer. I left on my retirement from ski racing as a multiple British champion.
