Allison Baver Skating Quotations

Once I got there and started skating every day, I knew I had to make a full commitment. Somebody told me, a coach a long time ago, that if you want to make the Olympic team, you have to dedicate your entire life, sacrifice everything. I wasn't ready to do that before.

When I was in fourth grade, my family, we used to always go to the roller skating rink. There was this cute boy there that I liked. It kind of influenced me to keep going.

When I was going to Penn State, I was so new to ice skating that I only skated once a week, and that was in Harrisburg, three hours away. It wasn't my No. 1 focus.
