AlphaEDGE: Communication Mastery for Elite Figure Skating Clubs
Unlock confidence. Build healthy relationships. Thrive in sports and life.
AlphaEDGE is the first comprehensive communication skills training program designed for elite figure skating clubs.
Created by a former professional figure skater turned voice and communication consultant, it was born from the belief that confident, self-aware communication is essential for developing champions on the ice and leaders for life.
In elite training environments, communication barriers can inhibit optimal training, team cohesion, and emotional well-being.
In training, the quality of communication between skaters, coaches, and their family members matters: There is a direct correlation between healthy communication, well-being, and performance success.
Without clear communication skills, roadblocks that inhibit personal and athletic growth can happen:
Skaters can struggle with articulating their needs, navigating peer dynamics, and speaking with confidence to a coach, parent, or in front of the media. Best-practices of good sportsmanship may be unclear, creating siloed “cliques” and poor team support.
Coaches can face challenges in setting clear communication boundaries, resolving conflicts, or blending the delicate mix of authority, support, and instruction.
Families can unintentionally create stress for athletes through unclear roles, conflicting non-verbal cues, or difficulty managing their own emotions during wins and losses. They strive to know what to say and how to say it, but their efforts might not land as they intend.
Technical excellence thrives on a foundation of healthy communication.
When skaters and their support teams have the tools and skills to communicate with excellence, everyone is empowered to do their best - elevating training environments, team dynamics, club professionalism, and program success.
Welcome to AlphaEDGE: The new, leading-edge training to take your program to new heights.

Why AlphaEDGE?
"Alpha" speaks to leadership and foundational excellence.
Just as an alpha leads the pack, we empower all parties to lead their own narratives through vocal empowerment.
"Edge" has a dual meaning that captures Margot’s mission.
In skating, edge quality sets the foundation for technical brilliance. Similarly, Margot’s workshop builds fundamental communication skills that become the foundation of powerful self-expression and self-advocacy.
Together, AlphaEdge isn't just a name – it's Margot’s approach.
Margot approaches group’s communication training with the same excellence and dedication you bring to leading your program. As you strengthen technical skill, she partners with directors to develop athletes, coaches, and family members who are confident in their voice, presence, and capabilities.
