COACH KATE
WFSC SKATING DIRECTOR
COACH STEPHANIE
WFSC INSTRUCTOR COORDINATOR
I am Coach Stephanie (Steph). I started my skating journey when I was 5 years old and finishing it when I graduated, 13 years later.
I went to college and graduated from UW-Whitewater. I moved back home and started my professional journey, leading me to Walsworth in Ripon as a Project Coordinator.
I was approached to come back and coach in 2015, and haven’t turned back. Entering my 8th year at WFSC, I have had the opportunity to coach all levels offered from Snowplow up to Accelerated, and everything in between.
I am currently accepting new skaters for private lessons in Snowplow, Basics, Freeskate, Moves, Sync, and Off Ice conditioning.

I am always around the rink to help with any of your questions, do not hesitate to ask.
COACH HAILEY
Hi, I am Hailey (Mischler) Bresser! I've been married for a year as of September 2023 to my husband Joe Bresser. I started skating when I was 4 years old and skated until I graduated high school, about 14 years. I skated on the Waupun Synchronized team for about 5 years and did a few solo competitions. This is going to be my 5th year coaching. I've taught snowplow, basic and pre-free classes so far. I love watching all the skaters progress throughout the year and how comfortable they become with their skating! Outside of skating I work at Guth's Candy and enjoy spending time with my family, friends and my dog Timmy.
I am currently accepting new skaters for private lessons.

Hi! I'm Coach Amanda, and this will be my 3rd year coaching with WFSC. I grew up skating in Waupun and competing on the synchronized skating team and competing solo. In high school I joined the Fond Du Lac Blades and skated on their intermediate synchronized skating team, and was on the High School Co-op team. I will be getting married in 2024 to my fiance', Doug. We live in Oshkosh with our cat Pepper.

COACH JILL
Hello figure skating friends and family! My name is Jill (Decker) Milani. My figure skating journey started when I was 4 years old with WFSC. I continued with skating for the club competitively both individually and with the synchronized teams through my senior year of high school. I then immediately began coaching for WFSC for 5 seasons.
I stopped coaching at that time to pursue a career in healthcare. I graduated from nursing school and began working for many years as a Registered Nurse primarily working in hospital ICUs. My nursing career and life took me across the country to Newport Beach, CA where my husband and I started our family and I became a full time Mom to my 2 children and our dog.
Currently, my family and I are back in Waupun as we have decided to rebuild our California home and I have been given the opportunity and privilege to be able to coach again for WFSC. I’m very excited to be coaching again! I have experience with all levels from basic skills through accelerated free skate levels as well as moves. I’m also quite passionate about physical fitness and health and enjoy strength training and conditioning.
I’m open to taking on skaters interested in private lessons.
Best way to contact me is by phone or text to 920-960-8844
I can also be reached by email at jrdecker87@gmail.com
