L.A. SkateDad: - the parent is a special coach
http://la-skatedad.blogspot.com/2011/10/parent-is-special-coach.html
Sunday, June 21, 2015. The parent is a special coach. After recovering from her ankle injury and now back skating, it has been several months since I've had the pleasure of watching my daughter. I notice she has some technical faults - elements that "project" incorrectly. Hmmm, she says. So she goes back out on the ice and spins a couple more while I tape again. The next few spins are much better. "Nobody every told me that before," she comments, and all I can do is nod my head. Posted by Jeff Chapman.

Silver Blades and Pink Slippers. May 26, 2013 at 9:07 pm Posted in freestyle. Today I went to practice during a freestyle session for the first time in over a year (maybe two years? I’ve honestly lost track. I put skating on hold while I pursued my graduate degree. Now that I am finished with school, and I want to get back in shape and back on the ice. As I skated some laps, I actually considered hanging up the skates for good. I’m almost 31, do I really want to put myself through this anymore? So here I...

Silver Blades and Pink Slippers. August 27, 2014 at 4:22 pm Posted in moves in the field. I’ve been a little overwhelmed the last couple of weeks with wrapping up projects and reports at my job and moving to a new apartment. I’m starting a new position next week. I will have a shorter commute to and from work, so I’m hoping this will lead to more time and energy to skate in the evenings after work. 2 Comments ». Feed for comments on this post. Good luck with the apartment and new position. The Ice Doesn&...

Ballet Hiatus | Silver Blades & Pink Slippers
https://dancingsk8er.wordpress.com/ballet
Silver Blades and Pink Slippers. July 14, 2009 at 3:22 pm Posted in ballet. Coaching skating (especially beginners) takes a lot of energy because it is very hands-on. When I leave work I am exhausted and don’t feel like going to a dance class. But I will get around to it soon. I really do miss ballet, and it improves my strength, flexibility, and posture. I know Roberta (my ballet instructor) thinks I have dropped off the planet or quit dance permanently. Not so, I will return …. eventually. Create a fre...

The accounts of misc. wanderings up and down the eastern seaboard. Thursday, September 22, 2011. A matter of perspective: Classic Moth Boat transom designs. The photos of Moths generally featured on this blogspot are often bow shots with spray flying and the skipper with his main sheet and hiking stick all crossed up, such as the one below:. Here we see Walt Collins driving his Europe towards the weather mark. Click on photos to enlarge. In an attempt to introduce a degree of stability into the Mistral d...
