Seraph Posted March 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 My coach P. Thorndike, Tyler Jewell all worked at Home Depot. What is the deal with these guys and having this job? It must be a NewEngland thing I guess. Personally I find it funny as hell.:lol: As a former long track speedskater myself who trained alongside national team members, I learned that Home Depot used to have a program in which they gave U.S. national team athletes jobs where they could work around their training and travel, and would also get health insurance coverage (which is a huge deal when you are constantly riding that fine line financially). I think they stopped the program at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkaholic Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 The program is like 33yrs old and was just ended this year. They are hoping to get it back up and running in the near future. It is a nationwide program and has been the largest in the country helping more top athletes in many sports than any other program. Several friends were a part of the program here in CO.
