Coaching

Since moving to California, I've been taking an extended break from coaching.

History

I began as an assistant coach during learn-to-skate classes at Ice Bound in Plano, Texas when I was 15. I don't recall exactly, but I think I started teaching classes solo around the age of 16, and continued to teach them until I left Texas at age 21. I prefer teaching older skaters, especially adults because I can talk to them like grown-ups. I taught basic skills, stroking, moves in the field, basic freestyle, and ice dance private lessons, having up to 15 students at a time.
