Coaching Philosophy
Skating matters at the rink; what it teaches you matters in the arena of life.
I believe skating should be a positive and disciplined environment where athletes grow not only as skaters but as people. The sport teaches resilience, respect, and transferable life skills that extend far beyond the ice. Guided by compassion, integrity, and collaboration, I strive to inspire athletes to love the work, trust the process, and embrace challenges as opportunities for excellence.
