Technical Specialist Visit

Hello Tremors!
This week-end we will have a special guest visiting us Saturday at Holidaze - and then again on Sunday for practice! Kelley is a very talented skater in Freestyle, Dance, and Synchro! Additionally she is one of the most respected Technical Specialist for Synchro in the US! In our time with her we will be addressing the technical components, team bonding/dynamic, and collegiate level skating. We are very lucky to be having Kelley coming to visit us, so we expect everyone to arrive on time - looking sharp - ready to work - and on your best behavior! Also keep in mind that she will be giving us a technical critique of our program; as a result she may be giving us suggestions on changes that should be made, and what in general we need to be working on to get ready for regionals! Please keep an open mind and remember that her help will bring us closer to qualifying for nationals! See you all this week-end!
HOLIDAZE GENERAL: remember - no parents in the locker room, and when the show is going on keep quiet! Bring yourself plenty of water, and a small snack (but don't eat it in costume!). Also keep in mind that the rink is SMALL! so don't try to push too hard - focus more on presentation and the quality of your footwork!
FRIDAY: I will be picking up Kelley from the airport so I will not be at the show, Lindsey is in charge! Please listen to her and BEHAVE!
SATURDAY: BE ON TIME! Kelley will be there for off ice to have a meeting with us....we will watch video together, and be talking about all sorts of things! The show will be the first time that Kelley sees the program in life - so please footwork - presentation - and shapes are key!
SUNDAY: once again BE ON TIME! We will be having an off ice practice to talk about specific things that Kelley wants to work on - and then long practice! bring FOOD, WATER, and a POSITIVE ATTITUDE!
Thanks! See ya'll Saturday,
Soph
