Alyssa Says:

“I will attend the University of Georgia, and unfortunately the school does not have a figure skating team. I would love to demonstrate my loyalty to skating by starting an ISI collegiate team and also assist in developing a strong learn-to-skate program. With my two years of experience as a junior coach for the Columbus Ice Rink, I am beyond excited for the opportunity to continue giving back to the sport I am passionate about by introducing children and college students to the amazing world of figure skating.”

Eric Says:

“I skated in my first ISI World Championships at the age of 6, and to this day the spirited camaraderie of that competition reminds me of
how my love for figure skating began. ISI provided me with the solid foundation of skating skills, friends and a support system that has been
crucial to my development as not only a skater but also as a human being. These valuable lessons of ‘try your best,’ ‘learn from your mistakes,’ and even ‘have fun’ helped me with learning how to cope
with circumstances at home or at school.”
