Linda Wood is a Lifetime Coach and Skater:

Linda Wood started skating when she was two years old. It was less expensive for her parents to take her skating with them than it was to pay a babysitter. Skating has been a part of her life for over 45 years and has given her a chance to coach skaters of all ages.

Linda was a figure skater for 17 years, taught artistic skating for 11 years and now coaches inline racing. She is currently the coach of the Triad Racing speed team in Citrus Heights, California, and the mother of three skaters, including Josh Wood.

She coached the 2006 U.S. Junior World Team that competed in the World Speed Skating Championships in Anyang, South Korea and was the team manager in 2005.

Linda's goal is to see roller sports make it into the Olympics. She feels that the sport and the athletes who participate in it deserve to skate under the Olympic rings.
