Measuring the success of a coach solely by their students’ competitive results is doing a disservice to the community as a whole and ignores the fact that coaches influence their students beyond just their sport.

Every skater is artistic because every skater is human. The question is: does the system make artistry safe, accessible, or worthwhile to explore?

Most people live in autopilot. They live the same pattern daily for decades. Disrupt your patterns. Never stop learning. Build relationships with people who have emotional depth. Let other people sleepwalk through life. You were meant to wake up.

Happy pride to every queer figure skater in the world, but especially to the ones whose rinks make them feel like they don’t belong. They are wrong. Know that you are valued, you are loved, and the skating world is better because you are in it. 🤍🏳️‍🌈

Skating teaches skaters to compare themselves to the idea of the “perfect skater,” and they learn to hate the very things that make them unique. We have the power to change that and make a generation of skaters who enjoy skating not despite their differences but because of them.

Always perform for your audience, even when that audience is just yourself.

Instead of getting discouraged when you see skaters who can do more complex skills than you, think about all the skaters looking to YOU as the one doing more advanced skills. Inspire them.

Winning an Olympic gold medal is not worth losing the love for your sport.

If you’re only working on improving your skills as a skater and ignoring improving yourself as a human, you’re limiting your potential. Becoming a better human will always make you a better skater. Unfortunately it doesn’t work the other way around.

The person who gets last at a competition has a lot to learn from the winner. But, the person who places first has just as much to learn from the person who places last.

Skating is so much more than gliding, jumping, and spinning. It’s a tool that teaches us about our mind, body, and the larger world around us.

Figure skating teaches us at an early age that the opinions of your coaches and the judges matter most. When you look back at your career, the only person’s opinion that actually matters is your own. Stay true to making yourself proud. The rest will follow.

You shouldn’t have to change to have a space in figure skating. The culture of figure skating needs to change to make space for you.

This is the year. This is the year we stop judging how we move on the ice. This is the year we gain inspiration from others instead of always competing against them. This is the year we open up our circles and make more skaters feel welcome in the ice rink. It’s long overdue.

Think back to why you started skating in the first place. Did you start to collect as many gold medals as possible or did you fall in love with the feeling of gliding across the ice? Let that guide you through your skating journey.

Coaches should be judged not by how many medals their students get, but by how many of their students still love to skate.

Happy World Ice Skating Day to the skaters who feel like they don’t belong. To the skaters who aren’t “good enough.” To the skaters who need some extra support. You belong on the ice and I see you.
