Guest Coaches

Shattuck-St. Mary’s “Center of Excellence” Figure Skating continues to offer the
“Best of the Best.” Our visiting guest coaches, choreographers and motivational
speakers have given SSM skaters and summer campers marvelous opportunities
to refine their skills on and off-ice. Each and every presentation relates to personal
experience and achievements in a way that our skaters can apply to their everyday
lives. We feel this unprecedented list of coaches cannot be matched by any other
program for a figure skating athlete.
