Making an Impact In Sports

I am incredibly passionate about the power education holds on us as humans and how we are fundamentally affected by learning from one another. I have had over a decade of experience working within a learning environment, coaching toddlers, children, youths, and adults alike in sport, recreation, academics as well as individual and public informational settings. I have worked as a Coach, Teacher, Public Educator and Curriculum Developer in over five different cities across Canada and internationally. To this day, I see education as the single most powerful tool to help improve one’s standard of living and increase the opportunities for a healthier and happier society.

Supporting skaters with the fundamentals for strong solid edge development, understanding, and training so they can be the best skaters possible.

Signature Process

My focus is teaching skills, techniques and conditioning drills taught in a progressive format that emphasizes how the skills apply to program components (figure skating) and game situations (hockey and ringette players). Overall, I aim to build confidence in my skaters while providing the opportunity to develop life skills and self discipline.

The Right Choice

Setting a good foundation of skating skills and edgework leads to an improved version that delivers speed and agility on the ice. The smallest flaws in skating styles can lend themselves to the biggest downfalls in the sport, allowing those who seek foundational training to excel faster than those who don’t.

Featured Skills

There are three main categories of I focus on balance, agility and power. We develop these elements through edgework, turns and steps.
