I won't be skating for the rest of my life, that's for sure.

I trained and trained and went up against Kurt, then being a world champion in ’94, and after that I did Tommy’s tour and then my tour and all this stuff and just trying to deal with it all. And now, I’ve just kind of backed off a little.

And then, looking back at my first Olympics, and when the pressure was on, in ’94 and ’98, and looking back and going, wow. I sensed and felt what Brian had gone through.

Just a whole different style, just a whole different way of going about an audience and a way about skating. And they are so brilliant in their own way, which is great, and that’s what Brian was saying; is the styles are different, and it’s the whole mentality.

But a lot of my training can be done in Aston – a lot of the hard work, so to speak. But a new atmosphere, a new place, and it’s good for me because I didn’t want to get stuck in one spot, so coming home is good, back and forth, you know, where my roots are.

Technically, the last number of years, partially from the injury, it’s been difficult to push forward but I felt even before the injury that I still could do more and was sort of at a stalemate.

I would have to agree, that I’m probably more intense than Brian or Kurt, competitive because, I was always like this, always being that way, always real competitive.

After you’ve done it for so many years, you have to find a new direction. You have to find something in your soul that’s going to push you towards – to find your inspiration.

You’re always learning on different avenues and this is an opportunity for me to start on a fresh plate and start learning some other things that can really help me, that I need, and I want, to progress forward.

I won’t be skating for the rest of my life, that’s for sure.
