Professional Plyometrics Conditioning and Power
Skating Coach
 A
native of Tbilisi, Georgia, Russia, Besa began
skating at the age of five. He had the good fortune
of being introduced to hockey and figure skating
under the intense and rigorous programs of the
former Soviet Union athletic programs, experiences
which helped him to develop into a world class
athlete.
·
In 1990
Besa graduated from the Georgian University with a
Bachelor of Arts in Physical Culture.
·
In 1997
Besa came to the United States and started
developing and perfecting his own hockey skating
teaching system. His system has been developed
through teaching individual hockey players and
organizations including The Swedish Hockey Institute
(Stockholm, Sweden).
·
From 2005 - 2010 Besa broadened to train the Pittsburgh
Penguins and several other professional hockey
organizations and their affiliated players. Besa has
helped to hone the skills of such professional
hockey players, including, but not limited to Evgeni
Malkin (NHL), Sidney Crosby (NHL), Mark Recchi
(NHL), Sergei Gonchar (NHL), Konstantin Koltsov
(Russian Super League), Colby Armstrong (NHL),
Marc-Andre Fleury (NHL) and David Koci (NHL) and
numerous others. He tailors his work to individual
players and teams, working to address their
weaknesses and turning them into strengths.
Besides working
with Pro players, Besa prides himself in working
with the next generation of hockey players. Besa is
the power skating coach for the
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Junior Knights and skating
consultant for the Bethlehem Blast youth
organizations. Besa trains young players from all
over the world. He continuously improves, innovates
and develops new ways to help each player learn the
proper techniques and gain the endurance and
strength to be the BEST at their game. Besa's
teaching has proven to challenge players to go
beyond their potential.
