Charyl Brusch

Charyl Brusch has been coaching for over 30 years in Northern California.  Charyl is one of the most respected spin specialists on the West Coast of the United States.  She has been specializing in spins since the late 1990’s.  Charyl is very willing to share her knowledge and she has presented at a number of skating seminars including the 2009 PSA World Conference in Orlando, Florida.  Charyl works with skaters at all levels, from beginners to national and international competitors.  She is also a Regional Technical Specialist.

Charyl began specializing in spin coaching at the recommendation of Scott Brown.  Scott and Charyl taught together in Dublin, California and Charyl initially focused on spins with Scott’s students.  At this time, Charyl works with the students of about 25 to 30 coaches in the Bay Area, helping them to increase the quality, consistency, and speed of their spins.  Charyl is currently working regularly with approximately 80 skaters on their spins.  Charyl also has a number of her own skaters and she continues to teach all other aspects of figure skating as well.

Charyl grew up skating in Southern California and she was trained by Barbara Roles and Ronnie Robertson.  (Ronnie Roberson was one of the greatest spinners of all time and had the title of “the fastest spinner in the world.”  Ronnie was actually studied by NASA for Vertigo.)  Charyl skated professionally with Ice Capades and performed in “Nutcracker on Ice” at the Warfield Theater in San Francisco, as well as in several local shows in the San Francisco Bay area.  She also skated in several Charles Schulz shows in Santa Rosa, California.
