Part Of Being A Champ Is Acting Like A Champ. You Have To Learn How To Win And Not Run Away When You Lose. Everyone Has Bad Stretches And Real Successes. Either Way, You Have To Be Careful Not To Lose Your Confidence Or Get To Confident.

My Life Has Been A Whirlwind Since The '94 Olympics.

There Is No Age, Height, Or Weight Requirement To Skate. It Is Good Exercise No Matter What Your Age Is. If You Want To Be Competitive, Most Start Young. But, I Practice With Many Adult Competitors.

My Parents Never Pressured Me To Skate. They Always Said I Could Quit If I Wanted To. They Only Expected Me To Skate When They Had Already Paid For The Expensive Lessons. But, Otherwise They Said I Could Do What I Wanted To Do.

Even Now, My Husband Jerry, Our Son Matthew And I Live Only Five Minutes Away From My Parents Home, And My Brothers Live About Ten Minutes Away. It's Been Great Having Such A Supportive Family.
