Figure Skating Coaches face unique challenges: Booking fractured ice time in fifteen-minute freestyle sessions split across multiple skaters and coaches. Tracking each skater's cleared and landed jumps so a coach doesn't push a triple before the double is consistent. Billing per-session lesson fees plus the rink's separate ice fees plus competition and test fees. Coordinating with the other coaches sharing the same ice so two students aren't running programs into each other. On top of all that, Acuity Scheduling charges $33/month ($396/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median Figure Skating Coach earns $40,000/year. Software at $396/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

My day is carved into the rink's freestyle sessions, fifteen or twenty minutes of ice shared with whoever else paid for it. I'm usually coaching two or three skaters in the same session, hopping the boards between them, calling a correction to one while the other sets up a jump. First skater is working her axel, so we drill the entry edge off the harness on the floor before she takes it to the ice. On the ice I'm watching the rotation, the landing edge, the check, and I'm also watching the traffic, because there are six other skaters on the same ice and a program run-through is a collision waiting to happen. Between sessions I'm sharpening a skate, re-lacing for a kid whose boot is breaking down, and editing program music to the right length. Test day and competition season layer in their own fees, and I'm billing my lesson time, the rink is billing ice time separately, and parents are confused about which is which. Mid-day a skater lands her first clean double loop and the whole rink hears me yell. After the last session I'm logging who landed what, fielding parent texts about test fees and the next competition, and trying to remember which skater I owe makeup time.
