Coaching Philosophy:
Every skater has a special spark that can take them from average to extraordinary. It could be technical prowess, arena-filling performance skills, or even a passion for the lost art of figures. A coach’s job is to help find that spark and guide the skater as they take the reigns on their own skating career. The skater’s safety, physical health, and mental wellness should always be the top priority.
