It Starts With Your Diet And Then

Vancouver Is An Amazing City And Luckily, Growing Up In The Seattle Area, I Was Able To Immerse Myself Into The Culture At A Young Age, Traveling Back And Forth Across The Border For Skating Competitions As A Youngster.

If It Wasn't For My Sport And My Father, I'd Probably Be A Fallen Statistic. I'd Be Dead; I'd Be In Jail. Luckily, I Had A Great Dad In My Life.

When I'm Done Skating, I Guarantee You That I Will Not Look Back And Remember Standing On The Podium. I'm Going To Remember These Days - Being With The Team. Training Alone, In My Basement. Training When Everybody Else Is Sleeping. Doing Things That Nobody Else Is Doing. Digging Down. Seeing What Kind Of Character I Truly Have. I Love That Stuff.

U.s. Speedskating Has Been Riddled With Problems Since When I Started My Career, And We Were Always Able To Look Past That. When It Came Down To Performing On The Ice, Regardless Of Funding Issues, We Were Always Able To Make It Happen. And That's What It's All About.

My Dad Always Used To Tell Me That Sometimes You Have To Have A Massive Storm In Order To Clear The Sky.
