"Colleen has been coaching me since I first started skating about twelve years ago. She brings so many amazing things to the table. Colleen knows how to make serious training engaging and fun, and her love for skating is inspiring and encouraging. She brings creativity and passion into her coaching, and she's always welcoming new moves when I find a spin or trick online. She understands skating through and through, and she knows exactly how to teach me so that I can improve. She understands all the current rules for competitions and tests, and she knows how to motivate me before a performance. Best of all, Colleen is not only an outstanding coach but a wonderful person."
