My Philosophy

As a coach, I strive to foster excellence and support my athletes in all of their endeavours. In addition, I wish to promote strong life skills inside and outside the rink by teaching confidence, sportsmanship, teamwork, respect, and self-regulation. I coach collaboratively; all of my students have input on their training plan, goals, pathway, and competitiveness. This will be done through constant communication, check-ins, planning, and creating a safe environment where skaters feel empowered to optimize their training and push their limits! I also enjoy getting input from my co-coaches, which provides me with different viewpoints and corrective exercises. I also want to keep skaters involved in the sport for life! Whether that is volunteering, skating from childhood to adulthood, coaching, or even judging, I am committed to continuing the skaters' lifelong passion for skating.

About Me

Jasmine gagnon

NCCP Trained National Figure Skating Coach

I began figure skating at the age of 10 years old, and I began synchronized skating at the age of 11 years old. My competitive career lasted 11 years, culminating at the 2022 World Synchronized Skating Championships in Hamilton, Ontario, where my team placed 3rd in the short and free program and earned 4th place overall.

Over the course of my career, I have also earned one bronze medal and two silver medals at the Canadian National Synchronized Skating Championships in 2018, 2020, and 2022 respectively. In addition, I have also travelled internationally to represent Canada in synchronized skating, earning a bronze medal at the 2020 Spring Cup in Milan, Italy.

I have achieved triple gold status in figure skating and enjoyed competing in gold artistic and Star 5/6 singles in my youth while pursuing my dreams in synchronized skating.

I began coaching CanSkate at Skate Canada Brampton- Chinguacousy in 2016 and continue to coach StarSkate there at the provincial level. Additionally, I am part of the Gold Ice Synchronized Skating coaching team working with teams of all ages. Lastly, I am currently the CanSkate Co-ordinator at Skate Canada Brampton Chinguacousy.
