IMPROVE YOUR SKATING...BALANCE and EDGE WORK
Lisa Clark has been teaching skating for over 25 years. After a successful career teaching and choreographing figure skating, she’s now teaching hockey players exclusively. Lisa, who resides in Whitby, Ontario currently works with numerous hockey teams and has several regular private lesson clients [male and female] in the Toronto and surrounding area.
Focusing on teaching the technical side of skating, including working on improving balance and edges and eliminating wasted energy through bad technique, Lisa has great results in improving her clients' confidence level on the ice and as a result, increasing their speed and agility. Just as most professional, junior and minor hockey league players now focus their off-ice training around core strength exercise, Lisa works to eliminate the natural tendency of players to slouch or crouch over and she does this through a series of unique drills designed to increase a player's core strength and on ice stability.
Quick feet are very important for a hockey player and Lisa has integrated a series of drills to increase acceleration and foot speed. Her ability to integrate improved balance with a more explosive stride has allowed her to help make significant improvements in her clients' skating. Lisa takes great personal interest in her clients and can often be seen at games monitoring their skating development. She leaves no stone unturned in trying to make her clients better skaters and because of this, her clients trust her implicitly. When a player trusts the instructor, they buy in 100%.
All of Lisa’s children play at high levels of hockey all their careers. Her eldest son, Emerson [1993], played four years in the Ontario Hockey League with Oshawa and Windsor and is now playing Professional Hockey for the ECHL's Tulsa Oliers. Her middle son, Everett [1996] is a member of the Flint Firebirds of the OHL. Christian [2000], the youngest was recently drafted by the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League Priority Draft and plays in GOJHL this year with the St Thomas Stars.
Testimonials
"Ever since I started skating with Lisa I have noticed various improvements in my stride, quickness and overall power of my skating. She really breaks it's all down to a science and forces you to be more aware of the technical aspect of it. I am very happy with my time with Lisa and would recommend her to anyone looking to make the jump to the next level." Ben Thomson, New Jersey Devils prospect
“Skating with Lisa throughout the year has been a great help to my development. There has been noticeable improvement in my speed and stride. My balance and technique has also improved. The skates are a lot of fun and I will continue to take part in them.” Riley Damiani, Kitchener Rangers, Ontario Hockey League
“Several of our NHL, OHL and NCAA prospects have worked with Lisa Clark and she has made a tremendous positive impact of each player's overall skating ability. I have worked with many skating coaches over the years and Lisa is without a doubt, one of the very best. I highly recommend her.” Jeff Jackson - Orr Hockey Group
