About Us
From 1995 to now
In 1995 the International Skating Center of Connecticut opened in Simsbury, Connecticut and that is where the Foy Ice Performance founder Ashley Foy started her figure skating career. Along the way Ashley trained at top training centers in the US and Germany in ice dance, singles and pair skating. She earned national titles, Junior Grand Prix assignments, international medals and 13th at the 2008 Junior World Skating Championship before turning to coaching. Since 2008 she has coached many different ice dancers, pairs and singles skaters to world and even Olympic status from many different nations. She is a passionate coach, mental performance trainer, yoga teacher, show producer, workshop leader, online content creator, former university lecturer, published author and SafeSport advocate. She has also served as a technical specialist, judge, figure skating club president and ice rink director.
Our Story
After moving to the Netherlands in 2014, Ashley began to notice major differences in the way skating was approached by the Dutch skaters, coaches, clubs and federation. Frustrated with the system in place, she focused on her work in higher education while making small changes when and where possible coaching skating on the side. Now nearly 12 years later, the time to launch a unique program that will support Dutch ice skaters both on and off the ice has come as Ashley turns to fulltime coaching in 2026 and welcomes her new coaching partner (and former student) Alessio Galli along for the journey!
