Jeanette Shaw
Club Head Coach
Coaching Level: NCCP: Level 2 Provincial Coach
Clubs I've Coached at: coaching in Drayton since 1997
Skating Qualifications: Started skating a 18months old, high level competitive skater for 6 years
The Drayton and District Figure Skating Club offers an atmosphere of community and inclusivity. As a coach, this has always been a quality that has been acknowledged and appreciated. With guidance, technique and effort from the skater, each skater has the ability to find their self discipline and determination to achieve the art of skating. And of course the fun of achievement with fellow skaters.
Sasha Shannon
Club Coach
Being able to step on the ice and share my passion for the sport is what drives me to continue to coach. Seeing the skaters succeed, gain confidence in their skills, and the excitement and joy when they pass a test and even through failure, lessons are learned and perseverance grows. Sports teach us a lot of life lessons that are transferrable on and off the ice. My hope for my skaters is the come to skating with determination, dedication, and the drive to succeed, and when they don't they get back up and try again.
