Gracie Gold

Gracie Gold is literally my inspiration. Love her so much and wish for her to have happier times ahead of her.
 
Gracie continued to work hard today at Center Ice of DuPage. She worked with Alex for about a half hour on jumps. She worked on both of her programs. Come on Gracie! You can do it! The clarity of these pictures isn't too good. Very hard to catch her because she moves so fast.

Thought I had accidentally deleted the video clip I had of Gracie working on her SP Assassin's Tango, but I found it! Again, sorry for the lack of clarity!...Shoma is there talking to Alex at about :17.

It's sad to see how small her jumps are now compared to before. It's like Eteri is her jump coach. It'd be great if she hired Alex atleast as a secondary coach for her jumps.

Well she is working with him now clearly, maybe that is what is going on. This whole thing makes me excited for nationals.

Except she might actually have clean skates if that were the case.

You know, the thing is with this girl...on any given day she can be the best in the world. As a fan, it's been frustrating waiting for her to realize that potential. Her problems have nothing to do with any jumping coach...it's her. It's all in her head. This was soul crushing, tbh. How can she say such things about herself? I hope she gets or already has a good sports psychologist, and crushes it at nationals.

She has a sports psychologist, she stated that she was seeing one sometime around Golden Spin.

I'm surprised all top level athletes don't always have a sports psychologist on hand and not just when things go south. Being an elite athlete is mentally and physically taxing, and the least you can do is have a therapist/psychologist to talk to.
 
She's mentioned a sport psychologist several times in the past. She's been working with one for a while. She knows her issues.
 
:hap10: Good luck to Gracie at the upcoming US Nats! :hap10:
I just wish that she will have two good enough skates which Gracie can say 'okay, I did my best' thus she herself feels satisfied. That's very important, regardless of how tech panel/judges are to score or place her. :yes:

ETA: This is the Gracie I watched LIVE for the first time and fell in love with @ World Team Trophy 2012
