Hi everyone that knows me ..... and those that don't Happy New Year to you all

Just a few sayings that you may find pertinent/funny/useful

• Don't lose your temper when you're on the ice, it destroys the capacity for rational thought
• Coaches can be inspired by their pupils, but they can also become frustrated if misunderstood (This one is dedicated to Madame)
• Your biggest muscle is your brain. If you can get your brain to work for you, the body will follow (ha ha ha)
• Dear Skater ..... please don't just look, please observe!
• The trouble with common sense is ......... that it ain't that common
• Find out what happens before what happens, happens
• Don't get mad ..... get even BETTER!
• When you want to learn as badly as you want air, then I won't have to teach you .....
• Impulsion is controlled forward (or backward!) energy!
• For the Dancers among us: "Don't look where he is going, that's HIS job"
• Don't look at your feet ..... they won't fall off

I love it, Melanieuk!!! Describes my skate today to a tee!

First you gotta want it. Second you have to believe in yourself. Third you have to do it.

Luck comes with hard work, determined spirit, and belief in yourself.
