About Becki: Becki Hendren is a life long skater, athlete, and musician who grew up in Cleveland, OH. After graduating from high school and receiving the Karen and Richard Carpenter Choral Music Scholarship, she moved to Long Beach, CA and earned a bachelor of music degree with a minor in business from California State University Long Beach. Upon graduating from college and beginning her career in the music business, Becki returned to the ice as an adult skater continuing to train, test, and compete while working with a variety of coaches in the Los Angeles area. Motivated by her own experience of returning to skating as an adult, Becki attended graduate school and obtained a Master's degree in kinesiology from CSULB as well as a personal training certification with the goal of developing off-ice training programs for skaters of all ages and abilities. In addition to starting an off-ice program, Becki was asked to help with Learn To Skate classes and began her coaching journey. She went on to assist a new synchro program with off-ice training, skating skill development and Moves in the Field testing.
Becki believes everyone deserves the opportunity to pursue skating and find their unique place in the sport. As a former child skater and current adult skater, she understands the unique challenges facing adults, teens, and college students, whether they are returning to the ice, or just beginning their skating journey. Becki's goal as a coach is to prepare skaters for success by building athletes with a solid technical foundation, mental toughness, and creative freedom empowering them to be confident and proud of their accomplishments wherever their skating takes them.
