About the MOD Squad

The Methow Olympic Development (MOD) Project enters the 2014 Olympic Season with Founder Sam Naney, and is led by former World Cup skier, Coach Scott Johnston.

The Methow Olympic Development Project is unique in that it is the only program in the country where all funds raised go directly to the athletes.  The funds are used to cover only training and racing expenses. Scott generously donates all of his time and covers his own expenses.

MOD relies on the generous support of its community sponsors and realizes the importance of giving back and inspiring others.  Both Scott and Sam coach the Methow Valley Nordic Junior Team during the summers, and are able to spend time with local junior and masters level athletes throughout the winter.
