Hilary Asher on Figure Skating, Coaching, Mental Health, and the Dallas Stars Ice Girls

Hilary Asher joins The Winded Podcast to share her journey from competitive figure skating to coaching and working as an ice girl for the Dallas Stars. In this episode, Hilary talks about the physical and mental demands of figure skating, what it takes to compete at a high level, and how her experiences on the ice shaped the way she now teaches and mentors others.

We also dive into the transition from athlete to coach, the importance of mental health in sports, and the lessons she learned through years of training, competition, and performance. Hilary explains the foundations of skating technique, how figure skating skills can help hockey players, and why support systems and healthy environments matter so much in athlete development.

This episode is perfect for anyone interested in figure skating, coaching, mental health in sports, the Dallas Stars, ice girls, skating technique, hockey training, and the long-term lessons that come from life on the ice.
