“Five years ago, my four-year-old tomboy daughter serendipitously fell passionately in love with skating and started her private classes with Coach Chris Browne with the dream “to become a champion skater”. From wobbly swizzles and shaky one leg glides to landing axels, doubles and perfecting mind-blowing spins, she has grown so much under his tutelage. Chris is down-to-earth and insanely patient. His instruction to her is straight-forward and precise, but also kind and encouraging. He challenges just enough and encourages her to be the best version of herself each day. From meeting us in the dark of morning (for years) to skate before her schooltime to watching him teach handicap children to skate; from driving from Austin back to Dallas just to give her lessons to Zoom classes during the Covid shutdown when rinks were closed; he has consistently supported her through the natural fears, challenges and growth of a young athlete and his dedication, passion, determination and commitment always have always remained steadfast in his dedication to share his craft. We all have dreams, but in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication and effort for both the student and the teacher. Chris is that teacher who will skate with you or your child, in all stages and capacities, because he absolutely loves both teaching and skating.”

“Chris is an excellent coach who is extremely patient, devoted, and seeks to help skaters reach their fullest potential.”

“Coach Chris is an amazing coach. Our 3 year old daughter wanted to learn to skate. We were not comfortable just putting her in a group class, so we started out with 1-1 with Coach Chris to teaches her the basic and safety. We were so glad that we did. Coach Chris is very patient, kind and he really know his stuff and he really help our daughter to build that love for ice skate.”
