I Won My First Medal When I

It Was Never About Winning Medals Or Being Famous.

I Took Group Lessons At A Rink Near My Home. We First Had To Learn How To Stand Up On The Ice Wearing Skates. Eventually We Learned To Move Forward, But Soon Found Out That It Was Not That Easy To Stop! So That Was Our Next Important Lesson.

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.
