{"product_id":"9780979198250","title":"Teach Someone to Roller Skate - Even Yourself!","description":"Marty Donnellan has worked as a professional roller skating coach at rinks around Atlanta, GA, USA. She has taught scores of people the art of indoor skating, and many others how to improve their skating. \"Teach Someone to Roller Skate - Including Yourself!\" is a complete curriculum for a four- to six-week beginning indoor roller skating course for all ages. Most of the illustrations picture students on quad skates, but most of the basic positions, postures, and techniques described apply equally to quad skates, inline skates, and ice skates. Differences are noted in the text, such as the location of brakes. This book does NOT cover outdoor skating, where you must learn to negotiate hills.\u003cp\u003eMarty has used the course with both individual skaters of all ages, and school PE groups. It makes a great gift for parents whose kids are approaching skating age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy studying Marty's clear text and engaging illustrations, you, too, can now teach someone to roller skate - including yourself or your child - with no professional instructor present. Or, you can build on existing skills. These are the same skills taught to beginning ice skating students. And, with the exception of navigating hills, all of the skills taught are transferable to beginning inline skating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBelow are some of the topics covered:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStyles of skates and skating\u003cbr\u003eBeginning skating positions and postures\u003cbr\u003eHow to keep from falling\u003cbr\u003eHow to rise from a fall\u003cbr\u003eHow to build up speed\u003cbr\u003eFour ways to stop\u003cbr\u003eAvoiding common bad habits\u003cbr\u003eWorking with older adults\u003cbr\u003eWorking with preschoolers\u003cbr\u003eGliding on one foot\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction to Edges\u003cbr\u003eHow to carve, pump, swizzle \u0026amp; scissor\u003cbr\u003eHow to do crossovers\u003cbr\u003eBeginning backwards skating\u003cbr\u003eBeginning intermediate skills such as the Mohawk turn and two-footed spin\u003cbr\u003eExercises to practice on and off skates\u003cbr\u003eComplete checklist of beginning skills\u003cbr\u003eTroubleshooting pain while skating\u003cbr\u003eColoring pages for young skaters\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e...And more!
