We finish this year with much success. I say "we" because so many people play such an important role in Jordan's success. From her dress designer to her choreographers. Her school teachers, church leaders and especially her sponsors and support from Salt Lake Figure Skating club. Strength trainers, massage therapists and pilates instructor. To Mark, the zam driver and Phil at Harlick...her physical therapists at TOSH to those that just encourage her every day. Jordan started Learn to Skate 6 years ago and since that time we have made wonderful friends, gained new family members and experienced life lessons on many important values.
As you can tell, it's more than tying on a skate boot and skating on the ice. It's all about learning who you are, how much pressure you can handle. It's about listening, trusting and respecting others. It's about overcoming pain, frustration and doubt. It's all about setting goals, skating your best and learning life long lessons!
it's also about having fun!!!
After the competition and the awards ceremony, the LOC provides a competitors party. Unfortunately for Jordan and Cordero the theme was "High School Musical". They did a great job with photo booths, DJ, karaoke and a inflatable jumping slide...but the theme was over kill for Jordan and Cordero! Jordan decided to hang out with her new friends and play pool at the hotel until the wee early hours. This is one of her favorite parts, not having to think about how much sleep she is getting, what she should eat, what she is skating the next day etc.
Infact, I don't think any of the skaters were thinking of that!

What a fun time, and think of the memories they'll have! Okay, I'll admit I wouldn't like to have remember all the HSM stuff (I'm getting a little sick of it myself), but all the friendships and fun you simply can't replace! Way to go, guys!
(And is that a MEDAL around Cordero's neck??!! Congrats!)
I think you guys do a fabulous job of making it all fun! Congratulations all around!
