John Nicks Quotations

Her mother called me, and I think she was perhaps a little apprehensive about my reaction. But I was very positive. I was only too pleased.

Sometimes I think she's a little too intense. I encourage her to go out more and act her age, but she doesn't seem interested.

She came back a different skater. She used to think about winning. Now, she's more focused on excelling. It's the right attitude for a champion.

She has a few aches and a few pains. As we all do when we get older.

She fought back and didn't give up. A lot of other skaters would have packed it up in the same situation.

Only one thing has changed. I was an old man then and she was a young girl, and I'm an old man and she's a young lady. That's the only difference.

The new system is so demanding. Skaters go from one move to another.

It was a good start. But it was just a start.

That was the first time I ever saw her distraught.

We have an understanding of what is good for her and what produces good results.
