COACHING PHILOSOPHY
What is skating? Skating is the culmination of athleticism and artistry. Skating is physically demanding, yet beautiful to watch; it’s challenging, yet rewarding; it’s trying, yet blissful.
My goal as a professional coach is to instill in my students; discipline, ethics, sportsmanship, commitment, and values. These attributes are not only fundamental in becoming a successful skater, but are more importantly, the building blocks required by children to evolve into contented, well adjusted, and auspicious adults.
