MP Training was founded by Millie Paterson in 2016 when approached for a coaching position at Bradford Ice Arena, one of the most established and acknowledged ice rinks in the UK.

Having been brought up within a skating family, Millie knew this was the only career she ever wanted to pursue. Since stepping on the ice at the age of 3, skating has always been a passion.

With a competitive career in ice dance, Millie represented Great Britain for many years with ice dance partner Edward Carstairs, the highlight of her skating career. Having competed at events such as the Youth Olympic Games, international Grand Prix’s, British Championship’s and being coached by international and Olympic athletes has provided Millie with the highest quality of skating expertise and invaluable knowledge of the sport.

Since coaching at Bradford Ice Arena, Millie has guided hundreds of complete beginners into confident skaters, whether they skate recreationally, take part in national tests or compete at national and international competitions.
