I'm getting into skating to support my daughter who is 3 and loves it so much. I want to take the exams with her. These videos are really helpful and even help me explain things to her, and coaches seem very pleased.

Out of all the beginner videos, I think yours are the best since you do it from multiple angles and fully explain how to do things. Other videos just say how to do it, but don't show how or all the steps to achieving a given move making it difficult to get it correct as one should. Thank you so much!

My first lesson in a couple days, but I plan on going to the rink before hand to get comfortable with the skates and being on the ice, and this is what I needed to see. Thank you for this easy to understand starting place.

Your videos are great and it is much fun to experience progress in mastering the skills. Without the videos, learning would be so much more difficult.

If I could give you 20 likes on a video I would. Love your videos Mary, thank you for putting out awesome content.

This was a REALLY good source to learn ANYTHING literally ANY MOVE ON THE ICE!

Coach Mary has some great videos I’ve been using for months… she filmed a bunch of off‑ice training videos and I really like her off‑ice jumping videos.

Watching your videos has helped me understand spins and other skating tricks and I’ve won three competitions! Thank you for your hard work!

There are some really great figure skating coaches that post beginner level content to YouTube. Coach Mary is one of my favorites.

Coach Mary is the reason behind all my ice skating progress - I'm a complete beginner but her tutorials have been incredibly useful! I also love that she includes off-ice exercises, they're really handy for working on techniques.

Mary, I love your videos! They got me through Learn to Skate. Thank you!!!!
