My coaching philosophy:

I strive to provide a safe, fun, and challenging environment for skill development (skills that apply to work, sport and for life), while fostering a love for the activity.

I coach to build, encourage, and support athletes. I aim to be a mentor, coach, and resource for people.

Policies for figure skaters. Skaters who have a primary coach are required to contact that coach affirm that they are ok with supplemental lessons.

If I give supplemental lessons to a skater, I will defer to the head coach for training decisions.

There must be a minimum of 3 months with no lessons or contact between the parents and Dianah in order for consideration to be given to a change in coaching unless the primary coach initiates the process.

There must also be a confirmation that all accounts are paid and any training equipment has been returned to the coach.
