Professional competitions are overrated.

One shouldn't be afraid to lose; this is sport. One day you win; another day you lose. Of course, everyone wants to be the best. This is normal. This is what sport is about. This is why I love it.

I skate now for fun and to keep myself in shape.

...Competitive Skaters must be prepared for a lot of work, challenges, self-discipline, and motivation. The desire must be there, but more importantly, your love for the sport.

And still I'm not completely happy with my skating. I always feel I can do more and climb higher.

No, I'm not coaching. It's a huge responsibility to coach somebody.

I use Graf Edmonton for boots and John Wilson blades.
