Keith McCarthy - Power Coach
jk.mccarthy@gmail.com
Keith has been teaching with TCHSS for over 11 years, and is CanPower certified. Keith is also certified in Hockey Development I, and First Aid.
Keith believes that proper skating technique, balance and agility are necessary ingredients to become competitive and excel in all skating sports. Power will be enhanced once these ingredients are grasped. All too often skating technique is the least practiced skill for those who play hockey/ringette. When considering figure skating and speed skating, these are the primary ingredients practiced.
At TCHSS it is our goal to teach skaters the vital skating skills and techniques along with proper balance. Practice, repetition and dedication in our skating sessions will aid our skaters to become as good in their chosen sport as they want to be!
