It's incredible to look back and think about where it all started. I was just five years old when I first stepped onto the ice, and honestly, I don't remember much beyond the sheer joy of it all. It felt like flying, and all I wanted was to try all the tricks the 'big girls' were doing. Fast forward almost 21 years, and that feeling, that passion for figure skating, is still just as strong. This journey hasn't always been easy. There are days when I still battle with myself, constantly pushing to 'be better' rather than just 'being me.' But I've learned that truly embracing myself, my unique style and strength, is when I perform at my best. It's a constant learning curve, enjoying the long, long road of figure skating, with all its ups and downs. Having a fantastic support team around me is absolutely crucial. From my coaches to my incredible fans who cheer me on no matter my results – you all make a difference. Seeing messages like 'We love you!!!! This is why you're our favorite figureskater. Trophy's are just icing on the cake! #alwaysachampion' or 'You got this Amber I believe in you bestie girl just remember believe & breathe' truly fuels me. It’s not just about the medals; it's about the connection and the shared love for the sport. And speaking of support, I've found an amazing ally in Bloom, especially their Glacier Crush. Being an athlete means you're always looking for ways to feel your best, stay hydrated, and maintain energy throughout demanding training sessions. The Glacier Crush has become a go-to for me – it’s a refreshing way to keep me feeling good and ready to tackle whatever the ice throws my way. It's not just a product; it's become a part of my daily routine, helping me stay focused and energized, both on and off the ice. When I'm filming behind the scenes, or even just during a tough practice, having something that genuinely supports my well-being makes a huge difference. My journey in figure skating has taught me so much, and now I want to do so much more in the world of sports. My goal is to make figure skating a better place for young athletes. The more success I find on the ice, the louder my voice becomes, and the more my message about perseverance, self-belief, and enjoying the process gets across. I want every young skater to know that it doesn't have to be perfect. Just showing up, working hard, and loving what you do is what truly counts. It's about finding that feeling of flying, just like I did at five, and holding onto it through every spin and jump. I'm so excited for what's next and can't wait to share more with you all! Let's keep inspiring each other. 💙⛸️
