Joanne McLeod Quotations

Everybody wants their space. She spent almost 40 per cent of her time going in and out of people.

I've tended to hang in there with the guy because he doesn't have a big support system and I think support systems are very big in life.

There was a period of time after the Salt Lake Olympics when I told him there had to be a new coach and new location. Words were exchanged. Deep conversation was exchanged. I told him we were in a coffin and about to be buried into the ground. I should say a happy ending would be the world title. On his good day he's a world champion, no problem. Who knows if we'll get to that day? He has to want it. It can't be me wanting it more than him. I don't know if we'll get to that day.

I think sometimes she overdoes it. She obsessively wants to do a few (jumps) too many.

You want to announce yourself to the world and I think she did that here.

If he asked me I would give him an opinion.

There wasn't any expectation on her. You want to just announce yourself to the world and I think she did. She worked hard on the practices, and I know she's looking forward to worlds.

When I first moved here to coach we were strong in singles skating, but didn't have much in pairs and dance. This year we're going to the nationals with the full package.

She was a teensy bit not quite into her space. She usually is.
