Coach Yaniritza

In 2013 3 little girls started taking lessons with me, they were 6/7 😂 I had the privilege of not only coaching them but watching them grow up into amazing young women. Today the last one left for college. Coaching is rewarding in so many ways but it’s also hard. You give so much of yourself and then get to say goodbye as they go off into the world to be the amazing people they are destined to be. I’m grateful I got to have a small part in their lives 🥺

Impact Summit 2026 ⛸️ A whirlwind couple of days full of knowledge, friendships and laughs! Excited to get on the ice with my students and put all the information I learned to use.

Thankful to be a part of an amazing community who wants to build everyone up! Can’t wait for next years Summit. Thank you U.S. Figure Skating for putting together a great event ⛸️✨

Still thinking about the first 3 months of the year. January - US Nationals and National Development Camp in St. Louis, February - Winter Olympics in Milan, March - Worlds and ISU Figure Skating Awards in Prague. Next up 2026 Impact Summit in Colorado Springs ⛸️🩵

Spring Jubilee ⛸️💗

One year ago, our skating community lost skaters, along with family members and coaches. Their talent, dedication, and love for the sport left an imprint that time can’t erase. Forever in our hearts ♥️🪽 #5342

Last week I had the opportunity to attend Access to Excellence in Colorado Springs. Being around people who are eager to share their knowledge on the sport was invaluable. Every class left me inspired. Tracy Wilson’s on ice classes were fantastic. All the little details she shared you can see in her student, Jason Brown’s skating skills.

To be around elite coaches who truly want to help all coaches excel in the sport was amazing. I’m excited to get on the ice with my students and pass along all the information I learned. Thank you USFS for a fun and informative week ⛸️

The 2024 ISI World Championships in San Jose, Ca featured 5 days of competition! My skaters went out and did their best, I’m so proud of them! We had the opportunity to have a special meet and greet with Josephine Lee. Truly a memorable event ⛸️💗✨
