Simple ideas are sometimes the best.

When we give ourselves the opportunity to grow, learn, and become the next version of ourselves, we’re choosing to stretch. In contrast, there are times when we ‘squish’ ourselves and hold ourselves back… 

In this Episode, I discuss how the daily habit of choosing to stretch goes beyond flexibility and becomes a lifestyle that completely contributes to your skating success! 

When you find your stability, you access your ability.

It's a simple statement but you truly know yourself when you find your own inner power. That comes from knowing what makes sense to you, how you like to train, and who you want to be as an athlete.

In this episode, I bust some skating myths, help you remember why you skate, and advocate for MORE fun!!

Listen in for a full-on episode of intentional moments where you can find yourself & honour your own Inner Power.

Decide what you want your results to be; then put in the quality reps.

Your success isn’t going to happen by accident.  The way you show up and build your mental strength through your habits is absolutely key. 

This Episode is the 1st in a 5 part series to help you build your intentional mental pillars for personal skating success.  

It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or on your way to a national championship, when you turn ‘pro’ with your mindset, you get better results and have way more fun with you process.  

Being a parent isn't easy - then add skating to the mix!

In this Episode, I share some specific pointers (learned over years of working with both skaters & their parents) that can help you lead your athlete.

Mindful parenting is something that can drastically improve both the experience of your skater as well as yourself!

Dive into these 4 parent pointers to access more understanding & calm in your role as the parent of an athlete.

Sometimes, despite our best intentions & plans, things just don't work out.

It's not for lack of trying or even showing up. It's not because we're doing it 'wrong'...

It's because we're human. Things changes, plans shift, and we are often faced with our own errors.

In this raw episode, I share both my feelings about when things don't work out as well as my 1 tool of self compassion to soothe the process.

If you’re not willing to train your mindset, you’re willing to lose. 

It’s a harsh statement, but it’s true.  If there’s 1 thing I can tell you after the countless hours I’ve spent training athletes, and being one myself, it’s this: mindset is everything. 

Yes, your skillset counts; but it’s your mindset that will truly make you a champion. 

In this episode, we look at the 5 Pillars of Excellence from a mental state point of view. Strength, Stability, Stretch, Stamina, & Stillness make up the Skating Success™ 5 Pillar Framework.

Incorporating this framework into your plans will change your game on all the levels: guaranteed!

Ahhh! 

This is one of those conversations that can either enlighten you or, frankly, make you mad. Listen with an open mind - if you're ready.

Expectations can really mess us up...

They are dream stealers; truly, they are. When we expect things to be a certain way, based on the past, we often overlook what's right in front of us. 

So, if we must - let's expect the best! 

What are you willing to invest... in order to get what you want?

In today's episode, I talk about the value of investing in your own skating success. Yes, it's about money - and it's also about way more!

Time, value, intention, effort, consistency...

What do you actually want to reap as your reward? What kind of ROI (Return On Investment) do you want to see from your involvement in this sport? (Whether you're a Coach, Skater, or Parent!)

It's worth asking yourself and it's worth evaluating for yourself.

Listen in for some real talk about how to win on your own terms and take your skating success into your own hands.
