I've been actively involved in figure skating for the last 16 years. While I can't let skating take all the credit for the way I turned out (I did have great parents, family, friends and role models), it definitely played a formative part in my development. I dedicate this post to the figure skating world.
1. Skating teaches you how to fall and get up again. Over and over and over again.
2. Judging isn't fair. Neither is life.
3. Hardwork and dedication will eventually pay off.
4. Keep your head up and eyes open for other people. They don't always watch out for themselves.
5. Visit the skate sharpener frequently. You can't keep your edge with dull blades.
6. Sparkles and pretty costumes don't make you a better skater.
7. Take care of your wounds and injuries. If you don't, they will wreak havoc on you in the future.
8. Skate like everyday is your last.
9. Push yourself. You can't grow if you don't try something new.
10. You don't have to do it all yourself. That's why we have coaches, friends, and family in the stands to cheer us on.
