My name is Lisa Eldridge. I have been working with the Grande Prairie Figure Skating Club since 2016. I am a certified personal and athletic trainer, as well as provincial/national level gymnastics coach. I teach both the strength/conditioning and flexibility classes for the figure skating club. Each class entails specific focus on proper developmental steps of physical preparation for the athletes. Physical preparation is a very important aspect to sport in regard to injury prevention, longevity in the sport, and overall improved sport performance. Below is a breakdown of each class offered and what the athletes will be working on.
*Each athlete is individual and requires different training that best suits their needs. Their
needs are based on chronological age, biological age, current/passed injuries, and where they show strength and weaknesses. Regardless of the class they are enrolled in, the decision of how advanced or fundational focus their training is will ultimately be based on what is best suited for them at that time.
*The off ice programs are most beneficial when an athlete is consistent. Consistency will allow for an athlete to be progressed and challenged in order to gain adaptation in tissues and ligaments for better injury management, recovery, strength, power, and endurance.
Please feel free to contact me via email if you have any further questions.
