A year-round global freeski system for athletes who want more than the existing pathway. We train across the Northern Hemisphere, the Southern Hemisphere, and focused camps in between — with world-class coaching, uncompromising standards, and a structure built for long-term progression.
Alongside that pathway, we are building a rider- and coach-owned pro team and syndicate — an independent World Cup-level platform with the ambition, structure, and standards to rival the best programs in freeskiing.
our approach
Unleashed gives you a true high-performance environment all year. You get world-class coaching, a clear progression plan, and smart planning around camps and competitions. We take care of the heavy lifting — coordination, travel rhythm, and operational details — so you train more, waste less time, and keep improving with the same trusted coaches and teammates. All built to rival national team standards, without the bureaucracy.

PROGRAMS
World Class Coaches
We do not advertise for coaches. We carefully select and personally invite individuals whose depth of experience, passion, and values align with Unleashed. Roles are built around coaches' strengths, ensuring the right people are in the right environments to deliver the highest standard of training.
Holistic Development
Elite freeski park and halfpipe performance goes far beyond time on snow. Technical training is fully integrated with physical preparation, mental performance, and tactical development. These elements are planned and delivered as one unified system, creating well-rounded, resilient, and adaptable athletes. Parents and guardians are invited into the process and included in the pathway.
Professional Standards
Our ambition extends beyond matching national team standards. Unleashed is committed to redefining access to elite competition and performance pathways by challenging the traditional, centralized model. We believe in decentralized, financially independent professional teams that provide sustainable, future-proof opportunities for athletes to compete and succeed at the highest level.
Athlete-First Approach
At the core of Unleashed is the individual athlete. We design opportunities around each person's goals, needs, and long-term ambitions. Every decision is guided by what best supports the athlete — helping them progress with clarity, purpose, and confidence.

the developer
A global athlete pathway delivered with partners in Switzerland, California, and New Zealand — including Corvatsch, Sugar Bowl, and Wānaka. No minimum commitment required.
Athletes can join at any stage with individualized plans combining local training and international opportunities. Programs focus on technical skills, physical preparation, and competition readiness, supported by elite-level performance services.
This flexible, athlete-centered system goes beyond traditional national models, offering stronger coaching and full use of facilities like landing bags, dry slopes, trampolines, conditioning, medium/pro lines, and halfpipes.
Register
World League Athletes
A high-performance pathway for athletes competing at or targeting World Cup and Olympic level. Up to 25 weeks on snow are combined with individualized plans tailored to competition schedules, strengths, and goals.
Delivered in small elite groups, the program blends structured team environments with personal planning, emphasizing precision, consistency, and execution under pressure.
Athletes are supported by integrated services — strength and conditioning, psychology, physiotherapy, and technical analysis — all adapted to individual profiles. Built to meet and exceed national team standards, the program remains flexible and collaborative in managing each athlete’s pathway.
Register
The syndicate
Our long-term goal is The Syndicate — a new model for elite snowsports. Athletes train as a unified team while following individualized programs aimed at podium success and long-term career growth.
The system supports progression from development to World Cup level, with training, competition, and support tailored to maximize individual performance within a team framework.
Built to compete with national teams under FIS governance, it combines the strengths of a professional structure with an athlete-centered approach.

Re-Entry / reset pathway
sometimes the fastest way
forward is to reset the system
We work with athletes who've already been on the competition circuit, but feel stuck, burned out, or caught in a path that no longer serves them—often finishing at the back of the field despite putting in the work.
This pathway is designed to help you:
Reconnect with the sport and rebuild confidence
Shift the focus from results to real skill progression
Identify what's actually holding you back
Common areas we address:
Technical gaps
Conditioning limitations
Mental load and pressure
External expectations and noise

Bert-Jan van Essen
Founder
In Unleashed, Bert-Jan brings the same execution mindset to high-performance freeskiing: creating the structure around the sport—planning, logistics, people, and long-term program quality—so athletes can focus on progression and performance. As a parent of competitive freeskiers, he knows firsthand what it takes to support young athletes through seasons built around training blocks, travel, and consistency.
His freestyle track record includes:
- Organizer, FIS Snowboard World Championships 2007
- Organizer, FIS Europa Cup + Swiss-Ski Park & Pipe Tour “Davos Open”
- President, Verein Freestyle Davos, working to bring a halfpipe back to Davos
A fintech founder and platform builder with 25+ years of experience turning complex ideas into real products. Today he leads Fractionalmission.plus, building infrastructure for tokenised real estate and digital assets.

Peter Legnavsky
Founder
Pete doesn't teach theory — he's lived every stage of the pipeline he now builds. A former pro mogul skier who repped Slovakia on the FIS World Cup circuit and at the World Championships in the early '90s, Pete took his competitive career and turned it into one of the sharpest high-performance coaching résumés in the Southern Hemisphere.
Olympic coach. Programme builder. Pathway architect. As Park Squad Programme Manager at Cardrona for Snow Sports New Zealand, Pete built world-class freestyle pathways from the ground up — and coached elite freeskiers all the way to World Cup and Olympic start gates. The proof rides in the family: he coached his son Gustav Legnavsky from first turns in Wānaka to Junior World Champion and multi-time Winter Olympian.
Train with Pete and you get a master strategist in your corner. Old-school technical discipline meets modern freeski progression — a proven blueprint for the mental, physical, and tactical demands of competing at the absolute top of the sport.

The syndicate
Our long-term goal is The Syndicate — a new model for elite snowsports. Athletes train as a unified team while following individualized programs aimed at podium success and long-term career growth.
The system supports progression from development to World Cup level, with training, competition, and support tailored to maximize individual performance within a team framework.
Built to compete with national teams under FIS governance, it combines the strengths of a professional structure with an athlete-centered approach.

Re-Entry / reset pathway
sometimes the fastest way
forward is to reset the system
We work with athletes who've already been on the competition circuit, but feel stuck, burned out, or caught in a path that no longer serves them—often finishing at the back of the field despite putting in the work.
This pathway is designed to help you:
Reconnect with the sport and rebuild confidence
Shift the focus from results to real skill progression
Identify what's actually holding you back
Common areas we address:
Technical gaps
Conditioning limitations
Mental load and pressure
External expectations and noise

Peter Legnavsky
Founder
Pete doesn't teach theory — he's lived every stage of the pipeline he now builds. A former pro mogul skier who repped Slovakia on the FIS World Cup circuit and at the World Championships in the early '90s, Pete took his competitive career and turned it into one of the sharpest high-performance coaching résumés in the Southern Hemisphere.
Olympic coach. Programme builder. Pathway architect. As Park Squad Programme Manager at Cardrona for Snow Sports New Zealand, Pete built world-class freestyle pathways from the ground up — and coached elite freeskiers all the way to World Cup and Olympic start gates. The proof rides in the family: he coached his son Gustav Legnavsky from first turns in Wānaka to Junior World Champion and multi-time Winter Olympian.
Train with Pete and you get a master strategist in your corner. Old-school technical discipline meets modern freeski progression — a proven blueprint for the mental, physical, and tactical demands of competing at the absolute top of the sport.
