Katie Nolan

She then became, I think, the youngest woman to win it twice.

She was 14.

Then she went to an Olympics.

She at 16 years old, think of how hard you would have to like focus only on this thing to get to be that good at it by the time you're that age, that young.

So at 16, she was just like, I'm not going to have a childhood.

I don't have any friends.

I don't know how to interact with people.

I eat, sleep, breathe, figure skating.

And so she retired.

She goes and travels the world.

She like does not pick up her figure skates.

She goes on trips with friends.

She went to like base camp at Mount Everest.

She's snowboarding on a trip with her friends two years after retiring, maybe a year and a half.

And she's like having fun competing.

She feels like this pull of competition.

And she was like, could this be what figure skating is?

Could I do this?

with what I'm really, really good at?

Instead of being so stressed that any mistake I make is gonna cost me every dream I've ever had, can I instead go into it like, oh, I'm actually really good at this.
