COACHING PROFILE.
I specialize in coaching children and developing strong skating fundamentals from beginner level through Pre-Axel.
My coaching focuses on building proper skating technique, balance, edge control, coordination, skating skills, and confidence on the ice. I believe that a strong foundation is essential for young skaters to progress safely and consistently.
I enjoy working with children and adapting coaching methods to suit each skater’s age, ability, and learning style. My goal is to help young skaters develop not only their skating skills, but also confidence, discipline, and enjoyment of being on the ice.
HOW I HELP ATHLETES PROGRESS.
Build strong fundamentals, develop confidence, and make skating enjoyable.
I believe children progress best when they feel safe, encouraged, and motivated to learn. I focus on proper technique, skating skills, and individual development, allowing each skater to progress at their own pace while building a strong foundation for future skills.
