Giving life to music through skating was something I wanted to be known for
I really loved what the guys were doing more than anything, how high they jumped, how effortless it was.
Skating was the vessel into which I could pour my heart and soul
The ultimate goal should be doing your best and enjoying it.
I think exercise tests us in so many ways, our skills, our hearts, our ability to bounce back after setbacks. This is the inner beauty of sports and competition, and it can serve us all well as adult athletes.
The first thing is to love your sport. Never do it to please someone else. It has to be yours.
