coaching philosophy

My coaching philosophy is to support skaters in finding their passion for figure skating, and to expose them to the wide array of opportunities that the world of figure skating offers to them. I believe in the importance of developing a strong foundation of basic skating skills and in always challenging my skaters.

Additionally, I understand the importance of setting achievable goals early on and consistently through one’s skating career. Teaching students how to set goals at a young age not only helps to develop them as skaters, but also as people who are driven, organized, and adept at pursuing the goals that they set for themselves outside of skating. 

While every skater’s individual goals in their skating careers might be different, my goal for all of my students is that they find and are able to pursue a lifelong passion for skating.
