To Whom It May Concern:
I have
been requested to write a letter of recommendation for Sara Rossman
relating to her figure skating training over the past 5 years both as an
amateur competitor and more recently as a coaching assistant. It is with
pleasure that I do so as I have a high regard for Sara not only as a
figure skater, but as an intelligent, bright young woman.
Figure
skating is a high intensity sport that involves a mixture of athletic
ability, intelligence, art in the form of dance and choreography on ice,
musical aptitude, grace, style and the ability to absorb hours of endless
guidance and coaching instruction. Figure skating at the advanced levels
is not for everyone and those few who excel, such as Sara, are to be
highly commended.
Unfortunately the price for loving a sport so
much often requires sacrificing time in other areas like optional
after-school activities. However, after skating and coaching for 40 years
myself, I can honestly say the rewards and “off the ice” lessons learned
and enjoyed are precious and invaluable. It pleases me greatly that Sara
is passing on her knowledge and love for skating as a coaching
assistant.
The discipline and structure figure skating provides
will serve Sara well as she prepares for a degree in elementary education.
Her compassion will allow her to work well with children and
parents.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to
write or call me.
Sincerely,
Sue Susic Ervin, Figure
Skating Coach to Sara Rossman
Triple Gold Medalist in the United
States, Europe and Canada
