SPOILER: You are not too old to start and you are certainly not too old to continue.

Stay on the ice as long as you wish, dear.

Blog post about the disconnect in figure skating. Adult figure skaters often assume they will never get good at skating. Olympic figure skating dreams are shattered. Elite/ Olympic athletes are held at an untouchable standard. Phantom of the Rink

Every skaters share this one thing. Yes, even public skaters and Olympians share this.

It is time to bridge the gap.

Blog post about how retired figure skaters are expected to become a coach even if they don't feel called. They are expected to leave the ice entirely or pass on the knowledge. Phantom of the Rink

Once a figure skater, always a figure skater. Even as a coach, you are still a figure skater in my eyes.

You pour everything into other skaters. Why not you?

Phantom of the Rink silhouette profile picture- Figure skating philosopher and ghost writer. Her identity is concealed to bring other skaters voices to center ice. She wants to see them skate their best and shine their brightest.

Who is Phantom?

I am a woman that loves figure skating dearly.

I owe my life to the ice.

I exist only in written or spoken word and it is my duty to:

  • guide you through the highs and lows of figure skating

  • offer words of encouragement

  • provide a space to think critically about figure skating

Apart from social media…

You can find me cheering you on from the rafters of your rink (as I am just a ghost).

*******

Can you tell me the one thing that connects every figure skater regardless if you started yesterday or have found yourself on the highest Olympic podium once or twice?

The ice.

There is enough dissonance in figure skating. It is time to bridge the gap and push this sport to a new limit. (One that nobody has even thought of yet.)

Figure skating can be cold, so feel free to take your coat off and stay a while. I’d love to have you.

Stay warm,

Phantom
