Come back with me to the year 2011. It's eighth grade, I'm freshly fourteen years old, and I feel like I'm at the peak of my life. We are going on a skating field trip as a school, and I decided this was the time to prove myself. Girls were watching, everyone was there, if there was a time that belonged to me, it was then. I had never skated before, but I knew that I would be amazing. How couldn't I be? I was the great Austin Howard, a menial task such as roller skating should pose no threat to…

Ice Skating And that’s how I broke my leg, just kidding, but I bruised it really badly, here’s the story behind that. was December 2014, my sister had discovered the “joy” of ice skating and was obsessed with it. She constantly asked my parents if her and her friends could go ice skating at the arena. I had never gone ice skating before and asked her one day if I could go with her and her friend Lucy. We got in the car to go pick up Lucy with the usual silence the whole ride. When we…

Introduction As a figure skater with an enthusiasm for figure skating for many years, my choice of investigation for my internal assessment came to me quite easily. I have been a figure skater for eleven years and during this period I have been able to deepen my knowledge of the relationship between body coordinates and movements/positions of figure skating. I will be investigating the relationship between the body’s initial and interim positions and the outcome of a figure skater’s trajectory…

Skating is something I really hate doing. It is dumb, only thing that would make your butt hurt if you fall and bruise it. When I was a little girl, my dad use to always take my siblings and I skating every Friday. I had a blast. I could do everything, skate backwards, I could dance while skating. One day, it was so packed because of $2 Fridays. I was skating and these teenage girls pushed me on the ground, made me bend my wrist back. I had to to be rushed to the Emergency room, it was not so…

My Favorite Sport I was 5 going on 6 when my mom first took me to Iceland Skating Rink in Sacramento. After a few visits at Iceland, I ask my mom if l could take lessons.

“Apply all of your corrections, think about everything we have practiced, and have fun! Put your minds to what it is you want to accomplish.” These were the words of my synchronized skating coach before we took to the ice at Nationals. In February 2014, my team and I competed at the U.S. Synchronized Skating Championships in Colorado Springs, Colorado. We had a great season leading up to this point, medaling at all but one competition and only missing that one by about half a point. This was…

There was something very exciting about skating on a block of ice with wet clothes, bruised knees, and frost-bit fingers. It was also extremely heart-warming for me to see my mother and uncle reconnect and make up for lost time over stale french-fries from the concession stand. This sentimental moment was interrupted by a hand on my back, pushing me onto the ice. I was able to pick up my head just soon enough to see my brother laughing as he made his escape. After we had all eventually lost…
