SOS™ Technique and Training Program for Adult Skaters



 

Why Uplevel?

After seeing so many adult skaters struggle with overwhelm and confusion and over-correction of symptoms, I created the Uplevel program so you have all the information and tools to skate with ease and clarity.

This SOS™ program will complement your current training plan and coaching, and if you don’t currently have a coach, it will set you on course.

The off ice training will make the most of your time on the ice, by building your strength, flexibility, body awareness, technique and understanding, training plans and access to top experts.

You can join all the sessions from the comfort of your home.

  • Do you question if you are even improving?

  • Are you overwhelmed with all the corrections you have to remember?

  • Do you feel alone as an Adult Skater and wish you had a community?

 

Clear

With SOS™, you will learn a clear, concise system you can apply to everything.

Although there are hundreds of skills you would like to master, you will learn how everything is interconnected.

Centered

Being centered and balanced is at the core of solid technique, but it is also part of the holistic approach to SOS™. We shine light on why we skate, and what we hope to gain through this practice.

Through these insights, we are mindful about our approach and can feel good about our investment and our progress.

Connected

Feel connected in a supportive community of adult skaters. You will not be the exception, this program is only for adult skaters. You will work with Mimi and a host of expert coaches who are skilled in, and passionate about teaching adults. You are the first priority, not last. I see you, want to serve you.

  • "SOS training is unlike any other I've ever experienced. It demystifies the many seemingly opposing coaching styles out there, and puts in place a simple system that works in all skating disciplines! Finally, everything is making sense to me, and, in my mid-fifties, I skate so much better now than I did in my twenties! And I keep getting stronger! I love this amazing system! Everyone should learn it! "

    — Dr. Karen

  • “I have been a member of Uplevel for 3 months and my progress has been really amazing. Not only have I greatly increased my awareness, but I can often do a new skill very quickly from both the explaining and the off ice integration. I go try it on the ice and boom, it works!

    -Cindy

Great! Many of our members have coaches. I am hopeful your coach will see your attendance in SOS™ Uplevel as a plus, for you and for them, as they see you thrive, get stronger, and have more “aha” moments. .
