Shannon Gowen

"I am pleased to endorse Shannon for her outstanding leadership within the Rochester figure skating program. Shannon is an excellent role model and leader within the skating community. She consistently demonstrates dedication, professionalism, and a genuine commitment to helping skaters grow both on and off the ice.

Shannon creates a positive, supportive, and inclusive environment where skaters feel encouraged to challenge themselves and develop their skills. Her strong communication and organization skills, and her ability to motivate others, contribute greatly to the success of the Rochester figure skating club."

"Shannon has coached me for almost a year now as a figure skater and I have continuously appreciated her punctuality, politeness, and creative thinking. In the time I've known her she's never been late, curt, or unable to rework a problem to find a better solution than previously considered.

Shannon is a shining example of a professional in her field by every measure."

"Shannon is a great skating coach. My sons have made significant progress with their skating, especially their strides and edges. She does a great job breaking down the details and helping them understand what they need to improve. We’ve seen noticeable improvements in their confidence and overall skating ability. Highly recommend Shannon to any player looking to take their skating to the next level."

"Shannon is capable of anything. When this woman sets her mind on something she doesn't stop trying until she accomplishes it. Shannon is your person you want! Big heart and helping hand."
