Meet Kim Biddiscombe...

What is your skating/teaching philosophy:
All skaters have the ability to be successful. I believe that each skater has individual needs. With the proper guidance, coaching and resources they can achieve their full potential.

Tell us about your skating career:
I was a competitive skater for 15 years in clubs all across the province as my family moved around a lot. I then spent 4 years as a judge in singles, dance and figures before becoming a coach.

What are some of your other professional accomplishments?
I have coached Pre-Novice Pairs, Senior Men and Senior Ladies at the National level.  I have had National medalists at the Juvenile, Pre-Novice, Novice and Junior levels. In 2004 was the Team Coach for the Ontario Winter Games for Western Ontario.  I have attended 4 International competitions as a coach. I was the Volunteer Coach for the ICG Winter Games in Switzerland and Kelowna, BC. I have directed and choreographed several ice shows including one in New Hamburg with Isabelle Brasseur and Lloyd Eisler which raised $35,000 for their new rink.

What are your coaching credentials?
I am a Level 3 certified professional coach with 24 years teaching experience.

Are you currently taking new students and if so at what level?
