What’s the #1 Thing You Can Do For Your Skater?
iCoachSkating.com is right for some, not for others…

If you’re reading this message, you’re probably the parent of a figure skater.
And you’re wondering if a subscription to iCoachSkating.com is right for you or your skater.
Before trying to help answer that, let me ask you…
What’s the one thing you can do to help your skater the most?
This is a tough one, isn’t it? You can come up with tons of things you could do.
- Pay for more ice time.
- Buy more lesson time.
- Get your son or daughter to the rink more days each week.
- Reduce outside distractions so your skater can train better.
- Sign up for yoga or pilates classes.
- Buy better skates.
- Have skates sharpened more often.
- Etc. etc. etc.
That’s just a few. You can probably think of 20 more.
Olympic coach Audrey Weisiger often tells parents their primary role as a skating parent is to provide money, transportation, and plenty of love and support.
And here at iCoachSkating.com we agree with Audrey’s simple approach.
With this caveat…
Audrey is assuming you have a great coach.
So the first thing you have to do is…
Select a great coach for your daughter or son.
Now please don’t take this the wrong way. I’m not suggesting a coaching change at all. I’m simply identifying one of the key factors in figure skating success. Some coaches have a great deal more success with their skaters than other coaches do.
Let me be very clear. I believe that you currently have the BEST coach for your skater, given your constraints of money, time, geography, coach availability, and positive coach/skater relationship. And you may even have the best coach for your skater period, regardless of constraints.
[ez_box title=”You ROCK!” color=”blue”]
Here at iCoachSkating.com, we believe that the relationship you and your skater have with your skating coach is critical to your skater’s success. We believe you need to trust your coach for the decisions about your son or daughter’s training. And we recognize that you’ve done your homework in selecting your coach.
[/ez_box]
So why are you here?
If you already have the best coach, why seek additional information at iCoachSkating.com? You’re probably here because you want to give your skater every opportunity to succeed. You want your skater to have the best chance to reach her or his ultimate potential.
Your skater loves to skate. And you recognize that not only is the experience fun and challenging, it builds Life Skills unlike almost any other activity.
But it still comes down to this.
You want the best for your daughter or son.
And you’re here because you wonder if iCoachSkating.com can help with their skating. We leave it to your judgement to decide if we can help, but there are 3 ways that iCoachSkating.com could potentially help your skater.
The first way is for you to buy a subscription for yourself to…
1. Educate yourself about figure skating.
Evidence suggests that a very large percentage of skaters want their parents to know more about the technical aspects of the sport. It’s not clear exactly why. Here’s some suggestions:
- They want you to truly understand how hard skating is. You tend to simplify it. That drives them crazy.
- They want your feedback about their skating. But they’re not sure you understand it well enough yet.
- They believe their “team” will be stronger if you’re a more educated “figure skating consumer.”
If you knew more about figure skating, you’d have a clearer understanding of why and how your coach makes decisions to benefit your skater.
So the first way that iCoachSkating.com could help your skater is it can…
dramatically raise your skating IQ.
But, realistically this is still a relatively remote and indirect benefit to your skater.
So the second way that iCoachSkating.com can help your skater is for you to buy a subscription to…
2. Provide an additional source of information for your skater.
This is the obvious reason. It’s logical. You can sign up for a subscription so your son or daughter can watch the videos. Then they can directly use the information they learn online when they go to the rink.
We have a large number of skating parent subscribers at iCoachSkating.com that do just this. Their skaters eat up the information and are excited to try it out.
[ez_box title=”Full Disclosure” color=”grey”]
For some skating families, it works out great. The skater gets great information and can apply it at the rink. But before you get too excited about this, I think it’s important to discuss the possible pitfalls of this strategy.
For some skaters, it’s not such a great idea. Sometimes skaters are simply not interested enough to watch the videos on the website. They don’t see how it applies or how it integrates with what their coach says. And honestly, the last thing we want to do is create confusion for your skater.
***Now I’m not telling you this to scare you away. I just wanted to be sure you were armed with this important information in order to make a good decision. Most skating families love their subscription.
[/ez_box]
Remember, we believe in your coach and your overall coaching situation. It’s important that you trust your coach. We always recommend telling your coach about any subscription to iCoachSkating.com for your skater.
But there’s a third and final way for iCoachSkating.com to help your skater. It’s also probably the most direct way and the way we recommend above all others.
3. Give your skater the gift of a better coach.
Not a new coach.
A better coach.
[ez_box title=”The Same Coach You Have Now, But Better…” color=”orange”]
- A coach who knows more and is continually learning from some of the best coaches in the world
- A coach who has dozens of solutions to every problems
- A coach who more easily pushes through those frustrating plateaus you know all too well
- A coach who is more confident in their teaching, in turn giving your skater more confidence
- A coach who has direct access to “secret” information about skating
[/ez_box]
Would you like it if you could keep your current coach but your current coach got better and better every single week?
Obviously, we’re suggesting…
Buy a Subscription for Your Coach.
This is the most direct and most effective way for you to help your skater in terms of the information here at iCoachSkating.com.
No doubt this sounds good to you, but you probably wonder if it’s your place…
You Wonder…
- Why doesn’t your coach buy their own subscription?
- What if your coach is insulted by a gift of skating information?
- And what if your coach doesn’t use the subscription you purchase for them?
- What if you switch coaches and don’t want your old coach to have a subscription?
Without going into too much detail, let’s just say that most figure skating coaches are not getting rich coaching. There’s a good chance your coach is not an iCoachSkating.com subscriber for one of three reasons.
[ez_box title=”3 Reasons Your Coach Is Not A Subscriber Today” color=”red”]
- They don’t know about it.
- They don’t know how useful it will be.
- They’re not sure they can justify the expense.
- Don’t have time = don’t know how useful it will be (#2)
[/ez_box]
Of course, you can tell your coach all about iCoachSkating.com. But if you really want them to check out all the information we have to offer to help your skater, the best option is to…
Take matters into your own hands
and get them a gift subscription.
And the vast majority of coaches won’t be insulted if you approach them about it correctly. If you tell them it’s truly a gift that they can do whatever they want with, you’ll avoid any uncomfortable situations. And if you decide to get your coach a gift subscription, we’ll offer much more advice about how to do it correctly.
If your coach doesn’t use the gift subscription or you switch coaches, no worries. We’ve got you covered there as well! We can provide a refund or switch the subscription to your new coach.
So whether you buy a subscription for yourself, for your skater, or for your skater’s coach, it’s important to understand that the information at iCoachSkating.com could dramatically help your skater. Notice that I didn’t say it will dramatically help, because I don’t know your current situation.
Just keep in mind that…
JUST ONE tip from iCoachSkating.com could
reduce the time it takes to learn a new skill
by 80% or more!
Think of all the frustration you might avoid. If just one tip or idea could save weeks or months of training time, imagine how much faster your skater will progress.
- Fewer tears.
- Fewer falls.
- Less frustration and anger.
And imagine how much money you might save on lessons and ice time to achieve the same skill level.
When you consider that each video on the website typically has several important tips and you’ll get about 2 new videos a week, you’re getting about 25 tips every month. Some may not apply to your skater. But let’s say that 10 do. Of those 10, what if just 1 speeds up the learning of one skill and saves 1 hour of lessons and training? And some tips may save tens or even hundreds of training hours!
I’m sure you can see how…
A subscription to iCoachSkating.com is like a
figure skating insurance policy.
