Olympic Athletes Have To Find

It Is Not Up To Me Whether I Win Or Lose. Ultimately, This Might Not Be My Day. And It Is That Philosophy Towards Sports, Something That I Really Truly Live By. I Am Emotional. I Want To Win. I Am Hungry. I Am A Competitor. I Have That Fire. But Deep Down, I Truly Enjoy The Art Of Competing So Much More Than The Result.

Vancouver Is An Amazing City And Luckily, Growing Up In The Seattle Area, I Was Able To Immerse Myself Into The Culture At A Young Age, Traveling Back And Forth Across The Border For Skating Competitions As A Youngster.

I Was Always Active As A Child. My Dad Tried To Place Me In Every Sport Imaginable. I Had So Much Energy, He Wanted To Push Me In A Direction Where That Energy Was Used Appropriately To Keep Me Out Of Trouble And Focused While I Was In School.

I Love To Work Out And Really Enjoy The Outdoors. I Like To Immerse Myself With Sport-related Activities And Spending Quality Time With People. I Find People To Be Very Inspiring, And I Get A Lot Of Motivation From Listening And Interacting With Them, Sharing Stories And Similarities - And Differences - In Our Lives, And Learning From Each Other.

My Dad's Great. He's My Biggest Supporter. He's Always Told Me That Whatever I Choose To Do, I Can Do It. I Just Gotta Put My Mind To It.
