Andrea Mohns-Brillaud has led the Boston University Figure Skating Club to back-to-back national championships.
When she was a student at BU, she skated on the team. 21 years later, she became coach. Then, the club were a non-competitive team with no history of success.
Now, they are one of the country’s premier figure skating clubs.
I spoke to Mohns-Brillaud about her transition from skater to coach and how she shaped the success of the team.
