Sarah Devereaux McCormick
“My coach, Sarah, rocks! She pushes me in all the best ways, and she’s tough yet silly, too, just when I need it. She’s a great mentor, and I’m always learning so much from her!”

Leah Farzin
“Leah Farzin is the best coach; she has been my coach since I started at 11. She is always supportive, funny, and she cares about my life outside of skating, as evidenced by this picture of us at my graduation. Although I am a grown-up now and go to college, she makes time for me to still get a lesson when I’m home. I feel so lucky that I got Leah as a coach, and she really does rock!”
