I grew up as a player learning technical power skating from Boris Dorozhenko, who taught me how to use edges, balance and body position in detail.

Now I coach my own players with the same style of clear, technical teaching – breaking skating down so every player understands what to change and how to work on it.

My focus is simple: help players move better, not just work harder.

• I train inside and outside edges on both skates so you stop sliding and start really grabbing the ice.

• I fix standing too tall, sitting on the heels and twisting with the upper body. Strong position over the blades comes first.

• Simple patterns → more complex movement → real game pace. No random drills – every step has a reason.

• I show exactly what is wrong and how to change it, so players and parents both understand the plan.
