Before You Begin: How to Use This Planner

This course is organized in sections. Within each section, you will find worksheets and tutorials, which are my suggestions for using the materials.

You can preview each worksheet before you download and print it so that you can decide if it is right for you.

Once you download the worksheets that you would like to use, I recommend that you print them and organize them in a 3-ring binder with tabs so that you and your coaching team can easily access the worksheet you are looking for while you are on the ice.

I further suggest that you use a binder with a clear cover. You can use the cover that I've provided or create your own to make it even more personal!

Always bring your binder to your practices, lessons, and off-ice training so that you and your coaches can use it to keep you progressing toward your goals!

You'll have access to the detailed calendar pages as the year progresses. This way, you'll remain in the present rather than getting caught up in small details too far in the future.

I recommend that you purchase the following to create and organize your own personal planning binder:

  1. 3-Ring Binder
  2. Tabs
  3. Binder Pouch (for pens, etc.)
  4. 3-Hole Puncher
  5. Also, make sure you have enough printer paper and toner/ink!

While I encourage you to download and print the worksheets for your own personal use, the material is subject to copyright and may not be shared with others.

You'll notice that each page is watermarked. I know some of you will find this annoying, and I'm sorry about that. However, I have found that when I haven't done this, other people pass the materials that I've developed off as their own :(

If you or your coach wish to print copies for others, please contact me to acquire a commercial license.

Thank you!

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR PARENTS:

These sheets are for your skater to use to organize their independent practice time. They are not for you to use to coach your skater!

Your skater should bring their binder to each practice session so that they can self-direct their practice.

Please do not stand by the rink door or any other rink side location with the sheets, and direct your skater!

Most rinks do not permit parents to coach their children from the sidelines. If you do so, you are breaking the U.S. Figure Skating Parent Code of Conduct.

You can preview each worksheet before downloading and printing it to determine if it suits you. You should print the worksheets and organize them in a 3-ring binder with tabs for easy access during practice sessions. Using a binder with a transparent cover allows you to personalize it by using the provided cover or creating your own.

The detailed calendar pages will be available as the year progresses to keep you focused on the present. To create and organize your planning binder, you will need a 3-ring binder, tabs, a binder pouch for pens, a 3-hole puncher, printer paper, and toner/ink.

While you are encouraged to download and print the worksheets for personal use, the material is subject to copyright and should not be shared with others.

Each page is watermarked to prevent unauthorized sharing. If you or your coach wish to print copies for others, please contact the creator for a commercial license.

Parents should note that these sheets are for the skater to use independently for organizing practice time and should not be used as a substitute for coaching.

Skaters should bring their binder to each practice session to self-direct their practice. Parents should refrain from standing by the rink door or any other location and directing their skaters, as most rinks do not allow parents to coach from the sidelines. Coaching from the sidelines violates the U.S. Figure Skating Parent Code of Conduct.
