When I stepped away from full-time touring, I moved into coaching, working with skaters of all ages on ice at Fylde Coast Arena Blackpool, inline, and quads online. I was also head coach at Rollerworld Colchester and founder of the Inline Figure Skating Open 2021, which had 80+ skaters competing globally. During my time coaching I saw the same truth repeated, talent alone wasn't enough. Skaters were being held back by outdated equipment, high costs, limited opportunities, and a culture resistant to change.
