Carolyn Beckedorff's professional journey combines personal athletic pursuits as a D1 skier and soccer player for the University of New Hampshire, an expansive coaching career, and a 24-year tenure as the Head Trader for a Boston-based hedge fund. This fusion of athletic, coaching, and business experience is reflected in her approach to sports, where she applies the same principles to athlete development and coaching.

Carolyn’s commitment to skiing and community extends beyond personal accolades. She previously served as a board member at Stratton Mountain School, her alma mater, and at Newton-Wellesley Hospital in Massachusetts. Throughout her career, she has mentored athletes and coaches at every level and serves as a coach developer for USSS. Carolyn’s passion for ski racing has also thrived on the World Masters FIS circuit, where she has earned numerous medals at the US, FIS, and World Championships.

Most recently, Carolyn has been honored to return to the ski racing community—volunteering with Burke Mountain Academy’s E-Team during the 2022–2023 season and, since 2023–2024, coaching Division I college and post-college athletes competing on the NCAA and Continental Cup circuits. She also has the privilege of serving as a Mental Performance Coach for athletes and coaches across the FIS, NCAA, Continental Cup, and World Cup levels—complementing her technical coaching with practical mental skills training and steady, individualized support. This integrated, athlete-centered approach helps performers build composure and confidence under pressure, elevating both results and overall well-being.

Carolyn’s interest in the psychological side of sport led her back to school to earn a Master’s degree in Exercise and Sport Psychology (completed May 2025) and to become a Certified Mental Performance Consultant® (CMPC). This commitment to continued growth reflects her dedication to advancing ski racing through holistic athlete development—supporting both performance and the well-being of athletes and coaches.

"Working with Carolyn has helped me be more consciously aware of how my brain works in this sport. I've gained maturity and patience, which are two crucial values to have, especially in ski racing. I now have tools to help me react to any adversities. I have for sure remained more process-oriented...." -Patrick Kenney, March 2024
