Rising Stars

July 2003 - Ryley TaggartHome: Hamilton, Ontario, Canada My name is Ryley and I love to figure skate. I have been skating forever it seems. I first started skating ,when I was really young, with my family in our backyard. I first started out pushing a chair around the rink, just to build my strength and get the feel of the ice. Soon I was skating on my own. When I was 5 years old I started to take skating lessons at my local arena. I have since changed clubs and I am now a member of the Dofasco Figure Skating Club. I have the best coach, her name is Nancy. I really enjoy skating now that I have Nancy for a coach. This year alone I entered competitions (wearing my Capezio dress) and won "gold medals" each time. In the springtime, my club has a skating carnival. We have try-outs to see who is lucky enough to win special spots in the carnival. I was lucky enough to win a position. I am so excited to be a special part of the carnival. I have been working hard to get my next level of skating. I hope one day I will be able to receive my gold freeskate. I would like to be a skating coach one day or better yet a Olympic skater. I love skating, and I know what ever I do in life I will always be able to put my skates on and go out on the rink and enjoy myself. That is the great thing about skating, it is like riding a bicycle, you never forget. |
