Starting June 25, Rafael will begin his coaching residency at Lakewood ICE. He is acknowledged around the world for his success in teaching jump technique and employs a systematic, theoretical analysis of the methods applied to the skill of jumping on ice. Rafael uses his skater’s height and distance to determine proper take-off velocity as it relates to timing, angle direction, and position. His methods have proven to be effective with his athletes winning several Grand Prix medals, the U.S. Senior Ladies Silver medal, the U.S. Senior Men’s Gold medal, and the Ladies Bronze medal in the World Championships just in this year alone.
