My Philosophy...
I FEEL a strong work ethic, dedication, perserverance, and a true passion for the sport are great gifts I possess to inspire and share with others. I enjoy teaching skaters of all ages, abilities, and objectives. Regardless of a student's personal endeavors, I view skating and the coaching relationship as a way to positively influence self-esteem and impact overall development. In my view, skating is best approached not for an end result, but for THE PROCESS itself.
Believing each student to be unique (as are the circumstances surrounding him or her), different needs, interests, strengths, and obstacles will require flexibility in my coaching style. Individual talent, determination, commitment, and pocketbook are all things that influence rate of progress and success. But by fostering a common desire for excellence, I can help each student find and create a personal meassure of success, in the process of becoming the best that one can be. I look forward to making this experience most enjoyable and rewarding!
