Review of Nathan's books from Phil Hersh

Chen's autobiography provides a rare revelatory look at the man who won Olympic skating gold a year ago — Globetrotting by Philip Hersh

The idea of covering figure skating is something of a contradiction in terms. Oxymoronic, if you will, like covering all individual sports, in which athletes compete infrequently, train all over the world, and the media rarely sees them in practice. A far cry from my experiences covering

Nathan

Nathan Chen: Spending time with my U.S. Figure Skating teammates. We shared many once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and I will hold those moments close for the rest of my life.

Evan

Evan Bates: The vibe in our room was great with all the roommates. Because normally Madi [Chock] and I will stay together when we're at a competition. At the Olympics, we stayed separately and we had roommates. I was roommates with Nathan [Chen] and Brandon [Frazier] and Jean-Luc [Baker] and the four of us just had so much fun together off the ice. Jean-Luc even brought a mini basketball hoop and we hung it up on the wall. Having three weeks together to go through such an incredible experience together really bonded us. I cherish all those times hanging out in the room with my friends.

This book is the kind of book that in the same moment feels like both a rock and balm of childhood. Yes, it's a book written by the amazingly talented Olympic gold medalist @nathanwchen, about a kid who was very much like him. But, it's more than that story. This book is made of the stuff that transcends the actual story itself - which is the tell tale of a really great book.

While this story is very much a story about a kid who LOVES figure skating, this story is in essence also very much about those many, many moments in every kid's life where they meet disappointment in the thing they love, where they meet failure despite trying really hard, and where they also meet grace and a gentle nudge towards joy in those bottom of the pit feelings.

Wei is a kid who falls in love with ice skating and is anticipating his first competition. His whole family comes to watch him practice, and he embarrassingly falls in front of them all. The heart of the story is the conversation he has with his mom as she reminds him to forget about winning, and to instead, do what brings him joy. It's such a relatable story for any kid who is learning how to sit with and overcome those hard to have feelings of anxiety, anticipation, and failure, and how to move forward and find happiness in the journey. Beautiful story, and bright, tender illustrations.

For all the kids who are too familiar with those falling on the ice feelings and for all the kids whose journeys are a little easier because they see themselves in Nathan Chen's life journey, may this book be a reminder to keep the joy of loving what you do in your heart.

Congratulations to Nathan for being nominated for a prestigious Laureus Award! Kind of strange that he was nominated in the "Breakthrough of the Year" category, but that's figure skating for you.

https://www.laureus.com/world-sports-awards/2023/laureus-world-breakthrough-of-the-year/nathan-chen

Won the Winter Olympics gold medal, ending the reign of Japan’s Yuzuru Hanyu, the 2014 and 2018 champion. The 23-year-old American is regarded as one of the best skaters of all time, with the highest winning percentage in competitions in the modern era. He had the longest winning streak in history from 2018 to 2021. A three-time world champion, he is known as the ‘Quad King’ for his mastery of quadruple jumps and is noted for the athletic ability he builds into his programmes.
