Madison, WI (PRWEB) January 31, 2014 -- Figure skating tips website iCoachSkating.com has announced a list of the top-rated figure skating videos on the website in 2013 as voted by subscribers. These figure skating videos represent some of the best figure skating tips available online from some of the top coaches in the world. These educational figure skating videos are appropriate for all figure skating participants, including figure skating coaches, skating parents, youth figure skaters and adult figure skaters. The videos cover such topics as figure skating jumps, figure skating spins, and other figure skating moves.
iCoachSkating.com was launched in 2008 as a response to the lack of high-quality educational material for figure skating coaches on the Internet. Website founder and figure skating coach Trevor Laak created the website as a way to share cutting-edge teaching techniques from some of the best coaches in the world. Subscriptions were initially restricted to figure skating coaches, but access to the website was expanded in 2011 to all figure skating participants. The website has seen steady and continuous growth over the last 5 years according to Laak.
Each year since the website was founded, and end-of-year countdown has been held of the top-rated videos. The countdown runs from December 26 through December 31 each year. Laak noted, "This countdown has become one of the most popular events of the year for figure skaters and figure skating coaches." The top-rated videos are determined by nominations from the website's large subscriber base. These videos provide detailed information about how to figure skate.
In today's announcement, the 6 Top-Rated videos, presenters and topics were discussed:
