Sasha Cohen Training Quotations

Cardio is tough after a day of skating, but with my iPod I can get into the moment and complete the cardio training for the day.

For whatever reason, the pro world has kind of died out, and the skaters are staying in, staying competitive, putting in the effort, the training to stay at the top of their game. It's difficult.

I've been training very hard and very well, ... I've been nailing 99 percent of what I do in practice. That gave me the confidence to do this. I expected to skate well.

I've just kind of evolved in the way I think. I learned to just enjoy it. I feel really lucky to do what I do, be in the situation I'm in, and I love it. I'm going to have fun out there and trust my training and not worry, because I've figured out the worry doesn't help.

I haven't done that program in a long time (eight days due to the flu) so it was nice it turned out pretty well. I was a little slow. I wouldn't necessarily say cautious. It's taken away from my strength and energy. It was good I made it from beginning to end without being late. When I'm healthy and training good, this will be a strong program for me.

I really enjoyed the performance tonight, and I've had a whole week of unknowns, being in bed with the flu. Ice is slippery, and anything can happen to anybody. I have seen that at numerous events. I am going to have fun out there and trust my training and not worry. I have figured out that worry doesn't help.
