Figure Skating Performance Technology ⛸️

What we see on the ice matters but technology can give us another way to understand what is actually happening within performance.

Objective measures such as jump height, airtime, rotational speed, and rotation can provide additional insight into jump performance and help identify patterns that may not always be visible through observation alone.

The goal, however, isn’t simply to collect more data.

Technology is most valuable when that information is combined with coaching experience, technical knowledge, and an understanding of the individual athlete. Data provides information. Expertise gives that information meaning.

By bringing sport science and coaching together, we can make more informed decisions, better evaluate changes in performance, and provide athletes with feedback grounded in both objective evidence and what is happening on the ice.

Objective data. Coaching expertise. Stronger performance.

Evidence. Experience. Expertise.

Creating a safe, supportive, and empowering environment for every athlete is not just a responsibility — it’s a commitment. On International Safe Sport Day, I’m proud to stand for positive coaching, athlete protection, and the belief that sport should be a space where everyone is treated with dignity, care, and respect.

On 8 August 2026, play your part in making sport safer, more inclusive and more accountable.

That might mean starting a conversation, reviewing safeguarding practice, listening to athletes and participants, strengthening reporting routes, sharing resources or taking the pledge.

Stand up. Speak out. Play your part.

I’m very grateful for the opportunity to have served on the board of the Ohio Weightlifting State Organization over the past four years.

It’s been a privilege to support the growth of the sport, work alongside dedicated leaders, and contribute to opportunities for athletes and coaches across the state.

Thankful for the experience, the perspective, and the people. 🤍

A new year, built with intention.

Strength of Will Training enters the year focused on clarity, sustainability, and long-term high performance.

We believe strong systems, high standards, and a long-term view are essential to supporting athletes and performance environments that last.

I’m grateful to share that my research was accepted for presentation at the International Society of Sport Psychology (ISSP) World Congress in Hong Kong.

The accepted submission, “Advancing Mindfulness-Based Interventions to Enhance Psychological Resilience Under Pressure in Competitive Figure Skating,” reflects my ongoing work at the intersection of sport psychology, lived experience, and long-term athlete development.

In early-specialization sports like figure skating, athletes are routinely asked to perform under sustained pressure from a very young age. Understanding how mindfulness-based approaches can support psychological resilience — not just performance outcomes — is essential for long-term success, health, and retention in sport.

While I wasn’t able to attend in person, the opportunity to contribute to global conversations around evidence-informed, athlete-centered approaches to performance remains deeply meaningful. I’m grateful to the ISSP community for recognizing the importance of this work and continuing to advance thoughtful dialogue in this space.

Over time, the work evolves — and sometimes it’s important to be clear about how and why.

Strength of Will Training was built through lived experience in sport: coaching, judging, research, performance, and years spent working inside high-performance environments across the U.S., Europe, Asia and the Middle East. One thing has become increasingly clear through that work: lasting athlete success doesn’t come from isolated training sessions, but from the systems that surround athletes and coaches every day.

Today, Strength of Will Training operates as an athlete-centered high-performance sports consultancy, with a focus on long-term athlete development, coach education, and the design of performance environments that support both excellence and sustainability.

This work is evidence-informed, grounded in real-world practice, and built through collaboration with the people inside sport. While I remain closely connected to coaching and learning, my primary focus is helping organizations and leaders build structures that protect athletes and support long-term performance.

Grateful for how this work has grown — and committed to continuing it with clarity and purpose.
