I have passionately been involved in coaching ice skating for the past twenty-eight years. In this time I have become a positive role model for countless young women. In additional to coaching the skills of ice skating I have mentored adolescents and showed them the importance of hard work and persistence.
As a result of my achievements and my ability to impart knowledge to other Australian coaches, I have been selected to attend countless coaching and officiating seminars around the globe. In 2006 I was selected by Ice Skating Australia to attend a training course in Germany in which I was able to formally prove my intense knowledge of the sport of Synchronized Skating, becoming qualified among one of the very few ISU Technical Specialists in the world. I spend a lot of my time when I return from seminars mentoring up and coming coaches in my sport.
Coaching teams at a World Championship level require coaches who are able to display complete dedication both on and off the ice to the development of skating skills amongst well-balanced individuals. I encourage all of my athletes to follow their dreams, modeling the traits that are necessary to achieve more than they previously thought they were capable. One of my real strengths is my ability to teach female athletes the necessary life skills to prepare them for their life after sport. I believe in showing my athletes the lessons they live as an athlete can transfer to their everyday lives to enable them to follow their dreams after their sports career is over.
Synchronized Skating is the fastest growing ice sport in the world. This year the number of spectators at the World Championships numbered over 10,000. I was one of the first Australians to identify this trend and set out in 1999 to develop a 5-year plan.
I aimed to put NSW at the top of Synchronized Skating in Australia and in turn have my team be the first team from New South Wales to skate at the World Championships. Almost 5 years to the day of setting this goal, Team Australia under my coaching took the ice at the World Championships in Sweden. The same team won 5 consecutive Australian Championships.
In addition, I instigated a development Junior team that also won, against tough opposition, managing to receive a nomination to the Junior World Championships in Rouen, France. 2008 was a first for NSW, under my coaching it was the first time that any state has both Junior and Senior Teams skate a World Championships. More importantly than the pleasing competitive results is my pride in being able to teach my skaters to be gracious in their wins and accepting of their defeats. Under my charge, skaters learn the importance of leadership, communication and time management skills. I teach my skaters that representing Australia is an honor, not a right.
Over the last few years, I have been closely monitoring the worlds leading countries with the advancement of the sport, I have bought to Australia the most up to date training methods for developing skaters. Taking over 14 skaters at the grassroots level in 2009 this year we have set out to teach them the latest training techniques taken from Sweden, Finland, Canada, and the USA. Today Majestic Ice has over 110 skaters and 7 teams making us the largest Synchronized Skating Club in Australia, our coaching staff has won more medals both in Australia and overseas than any other coaching teams in our country.
Personally, I've had more teams at World and Junior World Championships than any other coach in our Country, this year Team Unity received the best Australian result in the history of Synchronized Skating at World Championships - 15th, we are very proud of this outstanding result.
