Alexander Ryabinin

Alexander Ryabinin

Latvia

Alexander is the Lead Figure Skating Coach and the driving technical force behind Ryabinin Camps. If a skater is struggling with a stalled jump, chronic under-rotations, or two-footed landings, Alexander is the specialist who breaks down the mechanics and fixes the root of the problem. His coaching philosophy is built on pure biomechanics and modern training technology. On the ice, he zeroes in on the precise details of jump techniques—like ensuring the correct left-foot takeoff for a proper Axel—and advanced spin mechanics. Off the ice, he accelerates his students' progress using specialized tools like vestibular rotators and jump harnesses. These tools allow skaters to safely build the muscle memory for multi-rotational jumps before even stepping onto the ice. What makes Alexander’s approach so effective is that he understands the competitive journey completely. As a father who actively coaches his own two daughters in competitive figure skating, he sees the sport from both sides of the boards. He knows how to push athletes to reach their technical peak while keeping them motivated and confident. Whether he is running an intensive camp in Europe or Asia, Alexander is always accessible. He believes in clear communication with parents, offering honest assessments of an athlete's current technique and providing a straightforward, step-by-step roadmap for their development.

Katerina Doubravova

If you want to know exactly how a judging panel views your program, Katerina is the person to ask. As a National Technical Panelist and Judge who evaluates all disciplines—singles, pairs, ice dance, and synchronized skating—she provides a complete, professional audit of a skater's competitive routine. She knows exactly where athletes accidentally lose points and how to adjust elements to guarantee maximum levels and avoid deductions. But what makes Katerina truly unique is how she balances this strict technical approach with mental support. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, which means she doesn't just tell skaters what to do; she actually helps them build the mental toughness required to land difficult elements when the competition pressure is on. On top of her technical and psychological expertise, Katerina brings a strong artistic influence to the ice. Thanks to her background as a professional dancer and teacher, she is excellent at refining a skater's presentation, edge work, and overall skating skills, which is crucial for boosting those component scores. Coaching since 2013, Katerina works fluently in English (and understands basic Russian). She has a real talent for taking the very complex, confusing rules of the ISU judging system and explaining them in a way that is easy for both athletes and parents to understand and apply.

As a Master of Sports who has competed on the ISU Junior Grand Prix circuit, she knows exactly what it takes to perform under pressure at a high level. What really makes her stand out is her formal background as a classical ballet artist. Margarita doesn't just run through elements; she actively works on a skater's posture, lines, and overall movement aesthetics. If you need a competitive program that actually looks like a performance rather than just a checklist of elements, she is the perfect choreographer for the job. On the technical side, she is excellent at building strong foundational skating skills and stabilizing single and double jumps. But her "secret weapon" is her approach to the mental side of the sport. Coming from a family of sports psychologists, Margarita knows exactly how to build an athlete's mental resilience. She is great at keeping kids motivated and helping skaters push past mental blocks in a highly supportive, stress-free environment. Margarita has coached across Europe and the CIS, and is fluent in English, Russian, Czech, and Spanish. This makes her incredibly easy to communicate with, whether she is working with a young child taking their first steps on the ice or an adult amateur looking to improve their flow and grace.

Sheila Belova

Joining as a Guest Technical Strategist, Sheila Belova offers profound expertise in the ISU judging framework, dedicated to maximizing the point yield of every on-ice element. She provides athletes with a clear roadmap to upgrade their Technical Element Scores (TES), identifying the exact edge changes and difficult variations needed to elevate spins and intricate step sequences to a coveted Level 4, while eliminating flaws that cause negative GOE. Beyond her competitive rigor, Sheila is a premier specialist in adult figure skating. She champions "conscious skating," breaking down complex biomechanics into safe, logical progressions specifically tailored to adult physiology. When working with younger skaters, she effortlessly translates strict ISU regulations into engaging, accessible challenges. Operating on the philosophy that "figure skating is math on ice," Sheila ensures skaters of all ages and levels understand the strategic value behind their movements to successfully leverage the rules.

Viktoria Sabova

Viktoria Sabova

Viktoria is an international coach, but more importantly for competitive skaters, she is an active ISU Technical Specialist. She is exactly the person who sits on the panel, calls the levels, and catches those slight under-rotations. Training with Viktoria gives athletes a massive advantage because she fixes their technique based on exactly what the technical panel wants to see, helping them stop losing points unnecessarily. On the ice, she focuses heavily on the proper biomechanics for multi-rotational jumps (triples and the Axel) and deep edge work. She has "the judge's eye" for spins and footwork, showing skaters exactly how to hold their positions to guarantee a Level 4 and push their GOE higher. Her methods get real results—she has even guided skaters to the Icelandic National Team. Her off-ice sessions are just as specific. Instead of general fitness, she works on the statics and balance required for solid jump landings, along with the targeted stretching needed for beautiful spirals and Biellmann spins. One of the biggest benefits of having Viktoria at our camps is how open she is to talking with parents. You can actually ask her about the nuances of the judging system, get an honest assessment of your skater's current levels, and walk away with specific recommendations for improvement. With coaching experience across Slovakia, Iceland, and the UK, she easily finds a common language with everyone—from ambitious kids to adult amateurs.
