Listen "Coaching a Champion (ft. Linda Leaver)"
Episode Synopsis
I chat with Linda Leaver — coach of 88’ Olympic gold medalist Brian Boitano — about Brian’s early beginnings, what she noticed in him as a young skater, consultant coaching and sending her students to different coaches, politics in the sport and how she as a coach navigated it, setting boundaries with media hype before the Olympics, advice for current young coaches, and her thoughts on current skating when it comes to edge technique, the tano arm, and where skating is going.
