My Sport Taught Me What

Skating Was The Vessel Into Which I Could Pour My Heart And Soul

I Really Loved What The Guys Were Doing More Than Anything, How High They Jumped, How Effortless It Was.

Love Your Sport. Never Do It To Please Someone Else; It Has To Be Yours. That Is All That Will Justify The Hard Work. Compete Against Yourself, Not Others, For That Is Who Is Truly Your Best Competition.

When I Was On The Ice, In The Lights, With The Music And The Motion, There Was A Certain Kind Of Flirtation That Gave Great Energy And Expressiveness To My Performance.

We Wanted To Be Achievers, But Being An Achievers Didn't Mean That You Stopped Being A Woman.
