What's the VALUE in performing?

Tune in for this special episode to find out the answer from the perspectives of Coach, Parent, & Skater!

In my experience, there's almost nothing more powerful than the ability to go out and perform what you've learned when it counts.

It builds your confidence & your ability to rely on yourself in so many ways.

I'm so curious what your thoughts about this will be! Remember to let me know: skatingsuccess@gmail.com

Who's on your Skating Success Support Team?

Do you have people in your corner that are always there for you? Is there anyone you want to thank? Maybe you want to build your team for 2025...

No matter what you're aiming at, the Magic of Support along the way on your journey is paramount!

Ever get to your goal, wait for the applause & realize you're on your own?

Some things come to pass - even BIG goals - without much really changing.

With the recent milestone of over 25,000 plays & downloads of this Podcast, I felt exactly that.

So I've decided to dedicate this episode to YOU, my dear listener - and tell you exactly why I'm so proud of you and everything you're doing to accomplish your version of Skating Success! 🎉

Ever find yourself stressed about the timing or rate of your skater's development?

While there are certainly techniques to learn & efficient ways to train, there is also the human experience.

Hint: humans don't learn things in straight lines...

In this episode, I dive into the learning process & give you a filter to help understand what is going on for the skater as they grow.

Have FUN with this! & Share with anyone who needs to know.

Sometimes, things go beyond words...

When I coach & choreograph, I often say:

Skating is a feeling, not a thinking.

I mean it. The art and medium of skating is one of those places where I allow myself to feel more than think.... it's very helpful!

And then there are those amazing moments - or scary moments - or even moments when you think you might lose it all... where 'there's nothing to say'.

I have to divulge here that this is one of my most vulnerable episodes; something you may just want to tune into.

Do you dream of going to the Olympics... or even winning?

In today's interview with Olympic Gold Medalist & Multi-World Championship Ice Dancer, Zachary Donohue, we go right into the raw and real behind the win.

Every aspect of this conversation is applicable and entirely inspiring for skaters, coaches, or even those who just want a taste of what it means to be a Champion!

Tune in for this relatable chat where Zach shares his heart and why he turned his challenges into a winning formula for success... and how you can too.

Are you in your own way?

I've been there so many times... That self sabotage is REAL.

You don't have to. You can even lean into your possibilities.

This is a skill - not a talent. It's something you cultivate and work on every day you skate.

Why not you: taking on your dreams? Building that skating future? Becoming the coach of excellence?

I dare you to listen to this episode and to 'STOP Stopping Yourself' from achieving your next steps & ultimately, your best results.

Question for you:

Are you a Champion because you've won? or do you WIN because you're a Champion?

This is the Episode for YOU, champ! Not only is this the opportunity for you to explore your Inner Champion, it's time to decide who you want to be and how you want to show up no matter what your definition of Skating Success is!

Let's do this.
