Margaret’s Coaching Philosophy - Working together in Unity. Thinking together is Success.

Over 45 years coaching experience. I joined the WRSSSC 3 years ago as a substitute coach and now am employed as a Part time coach with the club and will be the acting Director of Skating with the WRSSSC from Fall 2022.

MY BELIEF:   If you only carry one thing throughout your entire life, let it be HOPE. The hope that we all are stronger than any challenge that comes our way and the hope that we are exactly where we want to be right now. So as I say to the Skaters  “Do not miss the Moment, Be one with Now. Life is the Dancer and you are the Dance. Trust your training, Enjoy, and never stop Believing in Yourself.”    

My HOPE : That  I have taught skaters to see the bigger picture of life through their commitment to a sport they love with as much “Passion” as I.
