Nathan Chen

 
Google translate app for the parts where Nathan is mentioned:

If you are physically prepared, the mental strength will come

‘Figure skating currently praises the coach who leads the double world champion Nathan Chen, the Czech leader Michal Brezina, and Michelle Kwan won the world titles with him. Rafael Arutjunjan has moved his sport to a higher level and his skills have enjoyed extraordinary interest from experts Armenian descent and began training as a teenager. Since 2000, he has been living with his wife and two children in the United States.’

‘How does the cooperation with figure skaters I train through Skype look like? It's very simple. I've been training Nathan Chen for 8 years. Since we have spent a lot of time together just one word and he knows exactly what I mean and what he has to do. Now it is similar with Michal Brezina I don't need a lot of words to understand my thoughts. So if Michal decided to go to study, I can train him through Skype. I teach my mentors independence, so they learn all the necessary skills and then they can train in that form. Basically, an independent sportsman is like a well-functioning factory that only needs a capable manager to continue. I show athletes the way they should train. “

also:
How do I work with my figure skaters on mental preparation? Every training has a mental part in it, but I don't lead purely mental training. I believe readiness to race and compete with each other. When you are physically ready for battle, you have a strong mind. If you go to the battle weak, your head won't help. So if you are physically prepared mental strength will come. The mind and body are connected, so I do not believe in separate training. "
 
One of my favorite moments from the fan meeting.

Looks to me like Nathan was unsure where to sit. He hesitated to sit in front of Shoma because he would be blocking Shoma's view of the audience and blocking the audience's view of Shoma. But Yuna and another person in charge told him where to sit.


So Nathan adopted this way of sitting... LOL

Until Shoma switched seats with his manager :)

... and sat where no one obstructs anyone's view of *his* handsome face :love:

So much fun. :biggrin: And it shows Nathan is thoughtful and considerate, even if a bit smartphone-addicted. :laugh:

Nathan’s ‘NB’ on his jacket is taped over!

How does he look so much more tan than when he arrived at the airport ?

It looks like Sui's jacket also has tape over the NB.

As for the tan, part of it is probably the white jacket emphasizing his natural coloring? I also seem to recall an anecdote about Nathan at a younger age ignoring admonishments from family to put on sunblock... :laugh:
 
Nathan is so naturally nice and considerate:luv17:

He looks super tan in some pics, not so much in others. He looks great in white though!

He can pick up some nice skincare products while in Korea, or maybe he will get some as fan gifts.
