Coaching Philosophy

I receive great satisfaction watching skaters excel both on and off the ice!

My overall vision around sport includes personal achievement, learning, time management, developing a positive work ethic, winning and most importantly - building self confidence and self-esteem. I believe that progress (and success) can be achieved when athletes are having fun and enjoying their training. This occurs when athletes are committed to working hard and remain open to practicing new and challenging tasks on and off the ice.

My goal is to assist each athlete to achieve his/her potential while having fun and gaining valuable life lessons. I instruct skaters in a way that they will be able to apply the skills they develop in figure skating to other endeavours throughout their lives.
