I'm used to a very busy schedule. Right now it revolves around training and preparing for Nationals in January. I'm usually at the rink from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. and then I attend public school for two hours, three times per week.
I do very scientific-based training. However, for skating, that's a little bit out of the ordinary. Many skaters base their off-ice training around plyometrics, whereas mine is very strength- and power-based.
Figure skating is not a hobby. It's my work, which I want to do, and do well.
I want to be a full-package skater.
The past couple years training with Kurt have really brought inspiration into my skating.
I definitely still work on my skating a lot.
The main thing for me now is figure skating, which I intend to devote more than one year.
I actually have an ice-skating background. I skated until I was 15, for about eight years. It was hardcore skating for about eight hours a day.
