My coaches have told me my muscles and body structure are perfect for skating.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The most important thing about skating is that it teaches you to do the things you should do before you do the things you want to do.
If you skate with an Olympic level skater, they make you so much better because you're skating behind them, and you're trying to imitate their stride and their stance. It's like having the world's greatest training wheels.
I want kids to enjoy skating and I think it's a great workout.
I skate now for fun and to keep myself in shape.
I could never focus on my upper body as a skater, so I'm enjoying having symmetrical upper and lower body muscle.
Skating has always been a major area of interest to me.
I hope that I can maintain my skating as long as possible.
To me, skating should look effortless even when you're doing the hardest of elements.
The skill set for hockey is so specific to skating and if you haven't been skating as a kid it's impossible to play - and I wasn't a skater.
Injuries are a huge thing for skating. I think skating is a very unnatural sport for the body, very tough on the joints.
