Annika Dyck (CanSkate Coach)

Number of Years of Coaching Experience:

Coaching since: 2013

Philosophy:

The reason I coach is because I love to skate, and I strive to pass that love on. I believe in a fun, positive, and encouragement-based approach to coaching, which involves using creativity to meet skaters where they are at. Every person learns differently, and I aspire to help each individual. I take pride in mentoring skaters, expanding their skating skills, and helping them reach new milestones and goals.
