The Story behind Davond
Jamie wanted to give people learning to skate a reliable resource they could return to between on-ice lessons. Recognising that each skill involves many components—body position, edge control, weight transfer and timing—Jamie created written guides and complementary videos so learners can review the exact details at their own pace. This approach reduces the pressure of absorbing everything in a single lesson and helps reinforce technique through repeated viewing.
Having every detail of a skating skill presented within dedicated videos ensures learners can see the full progression—from setup and technique to common errors and corrections—in context, which accelerates understanding and retention; it eliminates the need to cross-reference multiple sources, saves time, and provides consistent, repeatable visual cues that accommodate different learning speeds, while allowing coaches and skaters to pause, review and compare subtleties such as body position, timing and edge control, leading to safer practice and more reliable skill transfer onto the ice.
