I love this interview with Sean Rabbitt almost as much as I love Sean. Very honest look at the sport in general and at his own career:
Sean Rabbitt announced on his social media platforms Nov. 13 that he has decided to step away from competitive skating.

Some highlights:
"I don’t like the stigma of age in our sport. If there is one thing I have done as a skater, it is accomplish everything in my later years, my back half of my 20’s. .... I think the stigma of age is killing our sport, and throwing aside so many skaters that could be!"
"I hope that people will know me as the skater that skated for the real reasons; not for points or trophies, but for sheer enjoyment, because I never forgot what it feels like to love what I do. I want people to remember me as a skater who could light up a crowd (and still plan to do so) and embraced every experience as an opportunity to learn and shine"
One sad part: He didn't like the Tequila program and that's why he ditched it.

I adored that program, and I'm so glad I got to see it live.
