To Whom It May Concern:


Sue was the second skating coach I had. I was very scared to switch to her as a coach because she was really only coaching the “big girls” at that time and my former coach was like a second mother to me. After the switch was made, I realized that she wasn’t that scary after all. She was really nice, but always professional. I remember wanting to work really hard for her.

At my first W.I.M. competition with her, I fell on the last jump in my program, right at the end, and laid on the ice, wiggled my arms, and ended. Everyone was laughing, including me. I ended up with 2nd place. I remember Sue saying, it was funny once, but don’t do that “
ever again! As my career went on, I started caring more about my social life and less about skating. As I gave up on skating, (Sue) never gave up on me. She never put me down and she always motivated me when no one else could. I only wish I would have listened to her more,
because she can definitely help you achieve your skating goals.
