HONORING LEGACY

SKATING WITH HEART

My connection to the future of figure skating begins with my parents, Vadim Naumov and Evgenia Shishkova. Their vision led to the creation of the Tomorrow's Champions program—built on the belief that young skaters deserve more than technical excellence alone. Tomorrow's Champions was founded to support the whole athlete. It emphasizes not only skill development, but also confidence, mental wellness, and a healthy relationship with the sport during the most formative years of a skater's journey.

DEDICATED COACHING

Growing up in this environment shaped who I am—both as a competitor and as a person. I learned early that true strength comes from balance: ambition paired with care, discipline supported by trust, and performance grounded in well-being. The next generation of skaters matters deeply to me. Through Tomorrow's Champions, young athletes are given the foundation to pursue their dreams with resilience, self-belief, and support—qualities that extend far beyond the ice. This program represents more than opportunity. It's a commitment to the longevity, integrity, and heart of figure skating. A legacy passed forward—one step, one spin, one glide at a time.

THE ONLY WAY OUT IS THROUGH
