“When I’m on the ice I’m home”
“When I’m on the ice I’m home” The ice is a second home. It’s a place of comfort where nothing else matters. You can escape life, the stresses of work, school, drama, etc. It’s a place where you can be yourself and not have to worry or think about anything else.
#13 Stress of the Test
Why is it that whenever it comes to a test or a competition, the week of the, the day before, or even during warm up everything seems to fall apart? Training for months, and everything is solid until the test approaches. All of the sudden there is an added stress, a time restraint to be […]

#5 It All Comes Down to Why
Why did you wake up this morning? For an appointment, to go to work, to get your haircut? Everything we do in life has a reason or a why. Going from day to day we all set ourselves into a routine and the “whys” of our lives seem to disappear into the shadows. For athletes, […]
#2 Gratitude is as Beautiful as Ice
Skating, just like most jobs and sports, can get somewhat monotonous from time to time. It’s not that it is boring or that we don’t want to skate, it is just that sometimes we tend to forget to appreciate the beauty and the freedom of skating. We tend to overlook the magnificence of it especially […]
