Broadmoor Competition

After a few weeks off the ice to mend the back and MANY nights of debating whether to attend Broadmoor, we finally made the decision and boarded the plane. This was our 6th year at Broadmoor.
Cordero and Jordan on the plane heading to Denver. We have a new dress and Grandma also joined us but no one took photos.
This man was so sweet to Jordan. We were ready to leave the car rental when he asked Jordan to roll down her window and gave her motivational speech. He had no idea she was a figure skater. I was touched by his words too bad it didn't kick in until the second day of competition!
His advice to Jordan and told her to repeat:
I believe I can do it!
I can try to do it!
I will do it!
Jordan did not skate well for her qualifying round and came in 11th. It was very disappointing but we all learned valuable lessons about giving up. She came back strong the next day for another event and finished 3rd. On the positive side...she landed her beautiful, huge double axel in program and received a high GOE score. She needed to overcome the hurdles from the past month and we all look forward to the next months of training. Next competition is Copper Cup held July 8-10 in Bountiful!
