A little about me . . .

I am a professional figure skating coach based out of Eastern Ontario Section in Canada. I started figure skating when I was 10 years old, and have competed in freestyle, pairs and ice dance.I am NCCP Level 2 Certified, and my skaters have been successful in tests from Preliminary to Gold in Freeskate, Skills, Dance and Interpretive. Currently I am working towards my NCCP Level 3 Freeskate. Many of my skaters have competed at Invitationals, Sectionals, EOSIC, and All Ontario Competitions. I am active throughout the year in attending numerous clinics, sessions and training seminars to upgrade my professional skills.On top of that, my other passion is my family! I stay at home during the day with my two step-children. Both children also figure skate, so we are kept very busy.To find out even more about me, check out my website! http://www.scottwaddell.ca/

My homeclub was Pembroke, Ontario. As a teenager I decided I really wanted to start coaching as well, and that is how I started! I aspire to get my NCCP Level 3 freeskate someday soon. I love working with children, and I have a very holistic approach to coaching. I feel it's not just about what the skaters do on the ice, it's about enpowering them with confidence, healthy lifestyles, and positive attitudes.

This blog is going to be all my little thoughts on figure skating, from simple tips to instructions - whatever crosses my mind! Thanks for checking me out.
