Kim Wheeland

About

Personal Profile:
Skating is Kim’s first love, but outside of the rink she enjoys the ocean, skiing, traveling, the arts and food.

Formal Education:

Coaching Philosophy:
I am passionate about learning, both for my athletes and for myself. My goal is to share my
love and knowledge of the sport and to make learning both fun and rewarding.  I strive to instill
dedication, perseverance and a diligent work ethic in my students — qualities that will serve as a solid
grounding for life outside of skating. Some of my most cherished moments are seeing the broad smile of
accomplishment when a student has that “light bulb” moment after successfully learning a new skill.
