Skate With Us 

Fundamentally, Jacob is a positive influence.  He is willing to teach anyone regardless of their level.  He is able to scale activities to athlete levels.  During club practice, skaters are trained together and separately  according to ability.  One group will be instructed to practice certain drills while another group practices racing.   TSS club athletes are young and skate before school, yet they regularly display confidence in Coach Jacob by their participation even when they do not have his focus.  Jacob focuses the club's training on development of coordination and balance in addition to skills specific to speedskating.  Jacob integrates games and play that highlight necessary skill development into each practice session.  All athletes leave skate practice with a smile
