The fact that she is aware her fans can experience stress along with her when she is skating a program reveals that she is a performer at heart. She wants to deliver programs in which her audience can get lost in the joy of skating. I respect the hell out of that attentiveness to the audience. Other skaters would be well-served to develop that.
So great to hear that she will now focus on the mental side of competing. There are so many of us who would love to see her reach her full potential as a skater, she is so talented. Good luck, Amber!
The 1st time I saw a +GOE 3A from Amber was at US Nationals this year. It scored her over 10 points and she took the title! One of the highlights of season for me. I am huge fan of her skating style and have always felt she is very down to earth. Gutted I couldn't watch Skate Americia because of where I live.
It's good to hear her addressing the mental side to her skating. She is the kind of skater you root for and so talented. Her 3A was wonderful to see live in Montreal.
Amber is a delight and a phenomenal skater. So strong and charismatic. I’ve heard someone say she trains very hard but doesn’t do enough full run throughs? That regardless of mistakes etc you keep going like it’s a competition. I don’t know if this is not common training anymore. This is more for the coach to enforce I assume! Who know if this would help? I’m sure they’ve tried everything though.
I don't know much about the practical side of skating, I wonder if they are or consider wearing helmets. I seem to remember a skater, Paul Binnebose, who fell and had quite a trauma, and there was a lot of talk about helmets back then.

It was awesome to watch her triple axel live in Montreal. She is very grounded and a wonderful role model.

you watched skating lesson.
certainly the endurance is not there. I don't know what Amber is lacking tho.
@@zb6070 oh! That must be it. I couldn’t remember where I heard it
A 3A in both programs is a good call I think
Didnt expect her voice to sound like that

Needs new coach
She is Tonya Harding 2.0.
Referring to the 3A, I presume? Other than that I don't see any similarities...
Why?
ADORABLE!
