Trennon Paynter, OLY, is a high-performance leader with a track record of building winning teams from nothing. An Olympian and National Team athlete himself, he is a two-time North American tour champion, two-time National Champion, top ten World Championships finisher, and top 5 World Cup finisher. He founded the Canadian Halfpipe Ski program in 2005 — before any government funding or "national team" structure existed for the sport — and helped guide it all the way to Olympic inclusion, winning multiple world championship titles along the way, while also directing North America's largest summer ski camp — Momentum Ski Camps in Whistler, where he coached for over a decade — as Camp Director from 2004 to 2008, managing 20+ staff and 500+ attendees each season. As Head Coach, he has produced Olympic medals at 4 consecutive Winter Games and medals at 9 World Championships. He is a 12-time recipient of the Coaching Association of Canada's Coaching Excellence Award, given to coaches who produce medals at World Championships and the Olympic Games. His methods have crossed well beyond skiing — coaching aerial awareness for Red Bull's global surf program, training Cirque du Soleil performers alongside his national team athletes, and collaborating with Snowboard Canada, Surfing Australia, and Softball Canada. Trennon is based across Canada, Australia, and Europe.
