My main goal was to become a National competitive skater and eventually go to the Olympics. Working with a mental performance consultant, I learned to focus on the important parts of my jumps and on the things that I could control. I also learned imagery skills; the more I visualized what I needed to do, the more confident I became and the better I performed. I learned that it's OK to make mistakes and it's ok to fall; now I have the mindset skills to just get right back up and keep trying. I have learned that in sport you will always encounter road blocks; it's how you deal with them that will help you get through it. The most important lesson: If I truly believe in myself, I can and will accomplish anything!
