What Keeps Me Motivated? When training gets really hard at the end of the week, or things just don't go my way at a competition, or simply when I'm just having a bad day my brother is the person that I turn too. Rich is a short track speed skater as well. He has been on the Canadian Development team now for several years. He has world cup experience and has also raced at University Games. Last year he raced at the Olympic Trials where my parents and I were right behind him every step of the way. But, racing a competition that important, it is pretty easy to let your nerves get the best of you. This year my brother is moving to Great Britain to be a part of their team and get World Cup experience and hopefully stay there for four more years to race the 2014 Olympics. Without the support of my brother and him believing in me every step of the way I don't know if I would have gotten to where I am today.  |
