Emma Withrow

Emma Withrow hails from the Chicago land area of Winthrop Harbor, Ill.  She is now a Lone Star girl and has made her home right here in Houston at the Galleria.  She is a member of ISI and PSA and has won numerous competitions in the Chicago area where she started skating 15 years ago.  She has passed all her requirements up to and including Freestyle 7 and will be a lifelong skater.

Emma is a bubbly personality yet instills in herself and her students the competitive fire which helps them not only become great skaters, but successes in the field of life. 

Emma has a very distinctive approach to skating which she feels brings out the best in every skater:

• First, she feels that a skater must have FUN.  "If you love skating like I do, you can't wait to get out on the ice," Emma states.  She knows that love of the sport is infectious and brings out the mental state of fearlessness that allows a skater to grow into their full potential.

• The second aspect of her coaching style is FUNDAMENTALS.  She knows that all great skaters are great due to having flawless basics.  Fundamentally, sound students grow into the sport quicker, have less problems with difficult techniques and are consistent winners.

Emma works with all ages and levels of skaters and feels it is a coach's duty to work with the parents of young skaters to continually update the progress, outline a path of growth and work together as a team to bring out the best in our youth.

She is presently awaiting word on her admission status to either Rice University or the University of Houston where she has a Sigma Cum Laudi grade point average in the field of psychology.
