WHY BECOME A COACH
Coaches teach athletes skills they need in order to improve and succeed in their particular sport. Those who become coaches are knowledgable and passionate about their sport, find instructing others highly rewarding, and get a great amount of satisfaction from seeing their skaters grow as athletes and individuals. And yes, we are not denying, that seeing your athletes on top of a podium is really cool too.
