I'm a high school senior that is about to graduate and go to college. I started skating in the beginning of high school since our school had a rink and offered ice-skating as a PE course. I basically self-studied every move under the guidance of my PE teacher who was not that motivated to teach and had a slight language barrier. I basically showed her videos of the moves I wanted to learn and she would show me how to do them, so my skating curriculum is really messed up. (Ex. I can do a mohawk but I can't even do a basic jump)
So I wanted to go to a college that would have some kind of structure and coach but apparently the college I am going only has an ice skating "organization". Basically, no one can skate much and they host activities for fun. This is good but I really was looking forward to improving my skating skills further in college and I can't do that if the club basically relies on its members to teach others.
My goal for college skating is
1.) get more certificates (I already have the first level)
2.) compete as a college team
3.) have some coach to rely on and guide me through this as I don't want to repeat my high school experience
...by using the most out of my college tuition.
Is there any way I could make changes to this club after I join? The school funds a lot of money to student activities. Could I somehow find a coach to sign a contract with the school to be the club's coach? How do I get my school to be able to compete at intercollegiate levels? Am I even qualified enough to be making these changes? Thanks everyone
