Falling down became second nature and it really didn't bother me.

But after a few minutes of convincing myself that I really wanted to go - telling myself that I love skating and that my coach is there waiting for me - I would get up and go. And my mother would always get up and eat breakfast with me!

It wasn't always easy getting up at 5 o'clock in the morning to go to the rink. Sometimes I wanted to just go back to sleep.

I won my first medal when I was nine years old. It was at the Boston Open.

It was never about winning medals or being famous.

Part of being a champ is acting like a champ. You have to learn how to win and not run away when you lose.
