The Complete Book of Figure Skating
Author Carole Shulman is a former elite competitive
skater, a Master PSA instructor, a professional figure skating judge, current Director of
the Professional Skaters Association, and the editor of The Professional Skater magazine.
She provides the most comprehensive, up-to-date book available on skating covering proven
techniques and training methods for skills performed at all levels and in all disciplines
including singles, pairs, ice dancing, and synchronized team skating. This book starts at
the beginning—sitting on the ice and then learning to move across the frozen surface
with increasing speed, style, and grace. The chapters build in difficulty, covering steps,
spins, jumps, and lifts. From stopping to spinning to quad jumps, each skill builds on the
previous skills as this complete manual guides you through the skill levels of figure
skating. Providing straightforward advice on how to select a specialty, choose proper
equipment, condition off the ice, and manage nutrition—the book also describes the
proper technique for more than 100 skills, presented progressively from beginning to
advanced levels of expertise: Stops and stroking skills, freestyle moves, turns and
footwork (including ice-dancing techniques), spins, jumps, and pairs. For each skill
you’ll find a clear description with introductory or preparatory steps, followed by a
detailed technical explanation to enhance your understanding and training. Special
teaching exercises and tips will also help you master the most difficult components of
each skill. As an added bonus you’ll find helpful information about competitions.
You’ll learn the ins and outs of creating and refining a program — including
music, choreography, and costumes — and discover inside tips on how to perfect your
skills and score high marks from the judges. This book gives you an essential resource on
how to perform all the techniques and programs of the sport. Whether you’re a skater
looking to improve your technique or an instructor looking for innovative coaching
methods, this book will help you achieve your goal. ”Carole Shulman’s knowledge
is all-inclusive. As the PSA executive director, she has supervised all the aspects of
coaching figure skating. I cannot think of a finer or more qualified person to write this
book.” Frank Carroll, Coached 4-time World Champion Michelle Kwan, United States
Olympic Committee 1997 National Coach of the Year.
