At TCS Live Minnesota in fall 2025, Katy Johnson delivered a high-energy presentation that mirrored her coaching style. As founder of Katy Jo Power Skating, she’s built a strong reputation for developing skaters with elite balance, speed, and control using clear language and sound biomechanics.

The four E's are a staple of Johnson's formula for effective skating. 

  • Equipment
  • Evaluation
  • Exercise
  • Execution

This is a handout in support of Johnson's presentation at TCS Live Minnesota, in which she digs into the importance of momentum, pressure points, and force production, while honing in on edges and how your blades and ultimately your body interact with the ice.
