I am very competitive, so when I fail I use what I learned from that mishap to fuel success.
The highlight of my career? The Olympics, of course.
Career-wise, I was not the most naturally talented ice skater. Of course I had a knack for it , but practice was always the answer for me. I needed to put in the time to get back the confidence that led me to Olympic gold.
The sound of the blades on the ice in the morning is like smelling fresh coffee.
I had that feeling of just pure joy and I went out there and put it in my program.
As long as I leave my frustration behind, I know I am moving toward my goal again.
