Nancy Kerrigan American Athlete Quotations

My brothers thought they were going to get rid of me when I started figure skating - which they said was for wimps. But I still followed them around.

I've worn some costumes designed by the Boston Ballet and I have also bought simple costumes from Petersons (a dance store) in Burlington, MA.

That was when my coach taught me that I should not wear medals around, they were awards not jewelry. So you'll never see me with my medals on!

They would often put hockey gear on me and have me play goalie for their street hockey games. It didn't bother me a bit! I actually loved it!

Sometimes it was difficult to make friends and be social in school because I was always practicing while other kids were getting together and doing things. But it just made me closer to my family, and I realized that they would always be there no matter what.

I watched skating on TV all of the time.
