Sasha Bucci

Head of Qualifying Teams

Hometown: Palm Beach Gardens, FL

Sasha loves synchronized skating because: “I love synchro because I think that it teaches you a lot about life beyond skating. Teamwork, responsibility, sacrifice, leadership, accountability, grit, and communication are just a few very important skills you develop as a member of a synchronized skating team. These skills stay with you throughout life, and you are able to apply them throughout many areas of life. I think that synchro is a beautiful team sport that has given me some of the most special experiences, best friends and memorable moments of my life. I hope, as a coach, I can help the next generation of skaters create and experience those aspects for themselves.”
