Continuing as head coach for all teams with a primary focus on the Intermediate team, the consistency of the organization is sure to prevail this season. A former synchro and singles competitor from the Detroit area, Teresa began coaching for the National Blades in 1999 and was granted ownership of the team in 2000. She established the Toe Picks teams in the fall of 2001 and lead the original Toe Picks team to win the Eastern Sectional Championship as a National Blades pre-juvenile team in 2006. Under her guidance over the past 8 years, the teams have collected many medals at both ISI and USFS events.

Beginning this season, Tatyana will be helping to coach the Pre-juvenile and Intermediate teams. Performing successfully for 10 years as a professional singles skater and former Olympian, Tatiana has the knowledge and experiences to help our young athletes. Her focus and excitement will be a great asset for the National Blades. Review her "competitive" accomplishments here and to see her skate in the 1999 World Championship competition go here. She makes it look easy!
