YouTube Video of Will Smith's Wisdom This YouTube video shows clips of Will Smith sharing his ideas and
philosophy on Life. This is not typical of the content here at iCoachSkating.com,
but this video is included because it applies to the Dream of figure
skating and it shows how to reach that Dream.
Audrey Weisiger - A Tribute To My Coach Read this short story from Olympic coach Audrey Weisiger. She asked

YouTube Video of 1957 Triple Axel This YouTube video shows David Jenkins performing a triple axel in
1957. That's incredible considering the jump wasn't officially
performed in competition until 1978 by Canadian skater Vern Taylor at
the World Figure Skating Championships. (That's 21 years later!)
YouTube Video on Figures This YouTube video from the 1988 Olympics shows and discusses school
figures. It's interesting to see the opinions of the participants
at the time. There's a lot people in the sport who still think
getting rid of figures was a bad idea.
