“Balancing school and sports is definitely one of the hardest things I’ve had to do, just because sophomore year (has) so much more work, and I do around 18 to 20 hours of (hockey) training a week. It’s rough, but I love doing it.”

“(Every other weekend) I go to the Tahoe terrain park to practice my snowboarding jumps, there’s actually a lot (of training) you can do off snow to help you improve on snow. Adding snow is like the cherry on top.”

“The biggest thing that I’ve learned from ice skating is to slow down in life. If you (skate) too fast, you’ll mess up your jump. (And in life), if you don’t take a second to appreciate the good things, you’ll run right by it.”
