The night before we left for SLC, my dad was admitted to the ER and has been staying in the hospital. He has to have surgery next week. My dad reminded me from his hospital bed the three elements of a successful athlete – attitude, effort and focus. I fought this week along with him. It’s kind of sensitive to me, because my dad is the working source of money for our family. Without him, I wouldn’t be able to skate. It motivated me to do my best this week at Sectionals. I think my 163.07 points was worth it.
