Many instructional books have been written about figure skating. Some are very good. Others are outdated. None, however, has been complete. The Complete Book of Figure Skating finally fills that void.

The Complete Book of Figure Skating Carole Shulman 9780736035484 Books Reviews


  • This book is very well written by a great authority. Most of the criticism of this text relates to the fact that it is not for everybody. The descriptions are perfect for skaters who are familiar with skating terminology, but at times too cursory for beginners. If you're a beginner some of the contents will be confusing, but in time you'll catch up and it will all make sense. Where this book shines is in its insights into student/instructor relations. It's useful to both pupil and teacher. Anybody who is serious about becoming a better skater will find something useful every time they open the cover. Anyone who is contemplating becoming a skating professional should definitely get this book and read it carefully.
  • Good reference book for skaters and skating fans
  • This book is a great way to double check your coaching explanations! Sometimes it may be tough to find a new way to explain a maneuver to a student, but this book makes it simple!
  • very helpful to me! Easy to understand the explanation of words used in figure skating. Recommend to beginners )
  • This book is complete in the sense that it has information on all aspects of skating, from beginner skills to advanced techniques. However, the beginner section is not extensive, so this is more for skaters who have mastered the basics and want to learn the proper technique for spins and jumps. The pictures to demonstrate the moves are nice, but sometimes not very helpful, since the in-between steps are not included (a lot happens from picture 1a to picture 1b).
  • Great info for every skater.
  • GREAT BOOK TO HAVE AS A MOTHER OF A FIGURE SKATER.
  • The book is great just what is advertised my granddaughters will love reading it as they r champion skaters in Australia
