My Coaching Philosophy

My philosophy, as a skating coach, is to foster a positive attitude in my students and enhance their love of the sport of Figure Skating, to develop sportsmanship and skill without sacrificing fun. Setting goals and working hard is a life lesson which I strive to instill, in all my skaters, while building confidence in themselves and their abilities both on and off the ice.
