FIGURE SKATING

At any level of competition, athletes must possess the right physical tools in order to compete at the next level. Athletes who have the desire and dedication to excel will greatly benefit from a systematic performance-training program. At the Performance Institute, our program not only challenges athletes physically, but also builds a foundation for success at each level of sport development.

Our Figure Skating programs include a well-rounded Strength and Conditioning package. Our athletic development system includes:

•  Plyometric and Agility Training

•  Core Strength

•  Figure Skating Specific Strength

•  Balance and Coordination

•  Cardiovascular Conditioning

•  Flexibility and Regeneration

 

Our small group environment promotes camaraderie and spirited competition, but more importantly, focuses on the athletes' overall physical development and performance improvement. Being in an atmosphere where elite and professional athletes train, our young athletes are inspired, develop responsibility, cooperation and respect for themselves and others.

Working in conjunction with Joanne McLeod and the BC Centre of Excellence, our Figure Skating programs have helped develop some of our nations top skaters including:

 

•  Emanuel Sandhu - 3-Time National Champion

•  Annie Bellemare - 2-Time National Medalist/World Competitor

•  Megan Wing/Aaron Lowe - Olympic/World Competitors

•  Kevin Reynolds - 3 Consecutive National Titles/Junior World Competitor/Grand Prix Final Medalist

•  Jeremy Ten - Jr. National Champion

•  Neil Wilson - British National Champion
