It’s time to Chica-GO! Continue your coaching journey at the 2022 PSA Summit. Join us to reflect on where we’ve been and map out the path ahead.

Gain useful insight for immediate use in your coaching career via these scheduled sessions:

Navigating IJS Decisions | Josh Fischel and Melissa Dillenbeck

This presentation is breaking down the importance of understanding the point values, construction of, and development of spins from Juvenile through Senior levels. This will be discussed in detail from a National Technical Specialist and National Judge.

Discovering New Technology | Lindsay Slater and Brandon Siakel

In this session, we will discuss how we have utilized a measurement unit a skater during training to monitor jump counts and jump characteristics, such as speed of rotation during the jump and time in the air. We have helped create a figure skating-specific app that allows the skater/coach to provide immediate feedback without intervening in normal practice sessions.

In Pursuit of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion | Kadari Taylor-Watson

The demographics of skating in the United States are going to change, and either the sport will shrink or become more diverse. Incorporating a wider set of viewpoints on your team will be integral to your success as a coach.
