You can train to be ready for the nerves, and we simulate it all the time, but it's never the same when it actually matters.
I was always getting in trouble for whispering in class.
Pre-competition rituals include nap time, because when competition rolls around, I'm a sloth. I also FaceTime my dogs.
Figure skaters are usually young and then just fade away. But I'm not a fade-away kind of person.
Education is more important than skating. I want to keep up with my schoolwork and my skating.
I skate six days a week, three sessions a day, and I go to the gym three times a week. I lift weights, do some ab work and whatever my trainer tells me to do. I take Saturdays off.
