SASHA POTCHEIKINA
My coach rocks because she not only cares about my skating, but she cares about me. I have been skating with my coach since I was three. I am nine now.
Sasha challenges me to be my best. She taught me that I am my only competition. As long as I skate better than I did the last time, then I have won no matter what place I get.
My coach is always there to support me. My love for skating comes from inside me, but also from my love of my coach!
