| Reflection
of being a Preston Team Member
Report by: Rob Schultz - Junior Men's
Competitor |
Hello everyone. I
was asked to make a report tonight on my reflection of
being a Preston Team member. I have been a member of the
Preston Figure Skating Club for ten years. During those
ten years I have met many great people, experienced many
new things, traveled to some cool places and enjoyed
many unforgettable events. There have been some
experiences that were not so enjoyable but luckily the
coaches and other skaters have always been there to help
me through those times. Some of the friends I have made
throughout the years will be friends for life and I am
very grateful for that.
I have made a list of my
top ten most memorable moments to share with
you;
10. Sorry Miss J but
there have been some memorable conditioning classes over
the last ten years!!!
9. Trying to wake Gord
up and drag him out of bed after our last night in
Halifax last January. He was cursing Miss Huston the
whole time for making our flight home so
early.
8. Ice show - what's not
to remember about ice show?
7. Landing on my head,
then having Jordan landing on my head, blacking out,
taking a few days off then spending the next few days
skating around in an old hockey helmet so I could be
ready for the Challenge.
6. Having a food fight
with Charlotte in the judge's room at RIM Park when we
were being runners at a Grand River
Competition.
5. My first Senior
Nationals - what impressive skates I had!!!
4. Winning the Ontario
Winter Games in Guelph the first time I
qualified for something
beyond Sectionals.
3. Being chosen to
represent Canada at a North American Challenge event in
Pittsburg Pennsylvania in both singles and
pairs.
2. Rooming with Ian at
Junior Nationals in Moncton and Brampton. We always have
the messy, party, x-box room. I wonder how the door and
tv are making out.
#1. Sask Skate -
running with Mr. Vink, the water slides and those great
letters we wrote after getting caught visiting the
Burlington Team during off
hours.
My best advice to all
the skaters whether you are just starting your journey
here at Preston or it's coming to an end is to enjoy
every moment. The coaches here are great - when they
yell it's because they know you can do it. The skaters
are really great people so take the time to make some
good friends. I know I have and I'm a better person
because of
it. |
