Take in consideration that she already have body training like her flexibility was already enough for that routine and she had the pressure of learning for a challenge and also she was being trained by Olympic athletes, not saying this to make her look like her achievements were not important, but to let people that are willing to learn know that is not that easy and you will fall, cry, and work a lot to get at a near point, and you can’t give up!

Marsha’s story filled my heart with mixed emotions, it’s so sweet that she started when her husband died and held the memory of him thinking that it looked amazing watching a ice skater with her. But it’s so heartbreaking her husband died and that’s when she started that feeling must have loomed on her for a bit “why couldn’t I have started when he was around to watch” must’ve turned into “he is here watching me in spirit (if she’s religious probably something like he is watching down on me from heaven) and that feeling must send warmth into her while she skates.

This video is the reason I started figure skating at 26! I just revisited it now, two years later, and I am beyond thankful to Michelle for giving me the confidence to start this. I suck, and I am reminded every time I'm on the ice that I suck but it's still really fun and I absolutely love it.

Dumb bitch Ray very true. i’m 16 and starting to skate. when i was 12, i thought i was too old and never went through with it. now i wish i did. who knows how far i could’ve gone now? so i want to start before i regret not starting even more.

16 isn't too old. If you start at over 12 you probably won't compete at GPF or World championships as most who start at 4 can't even make it there or olympics but it's not impossible. There's a first time for every thing and hard work can induce miracles!!

[@user-nx8yu4lw1i]

When i was 14 i wanted to start dance but was too embarrassed to as i thought i was too old, now i wish i would have started at 14 as i would have years of experience by now. Just think, say you started at 17, by Michelle's age (27) you would already have 10 years of experience. It takes about 10 years to become good at something normally like a language or sport so i say at 16, start everything you want to do now so that when you're 26 you won't be saying "i wish i started at 16" you'll have 10 years experience in it!!

She should win the 🥇 for being a human being!!! ALSO SHE SHOWS, that not EVERYBODY HAS TO START AS A 4 YEAR OLD IN ORDER TO HAVE A GREAT PROGRESS!!!! Oh and by the way, I was a 24 years old, when I started to learn how to speak in English! I was literally watching the Friends from a small car video player in a bath tub daily basis - in order to learn to speak English! I had subtitles on and off, which were extremely helpful. And there are loads of students in our veterinary school, who are over twenty years olds and even a few 39 year olds in a starting class. (50% will be chosen by an entrance exam alone without any benefits from recommendations nor grades.) English is not even close to my own language! You can not even compare!

If she can do it maybe I really can do it!” One of the first things I learned about skating was TO fall. Conquer your fear and learn how to do it best.

Watching this as a Paralympic alpine skier I have to say it’s amazing how you progressed and it truly shows the lessons I’ve learned over the years. My specialty is slalom and one of the things you find out over time is that you will never have a perfect slalom race. No matter what you are going to make mistakes. It’s so quick and you have almost no time to think so all you can do is trust your own abilities to counteract any mistake you make. The hours of training and effort that go in behind the scenes for that one competition is something most people don’t see. There’s a lot of sacrifice and struggle as you push towards that goal. You have to sacrifice in order to push forward and it’s great to see you show even a small taste of what that is like. When I was in middle and high school I drove an hour and a half almost every weekend to train with better coaches than were available in my hometown. I don’t have any lasting friends from high school really because of that, but the sacrifice was worth it when I got to compete on that world stage for the first time. Now I continue to strive to be better and see what else I can achieve in my sport. Hopefully everyone else who sees this can use it in their own life as motivation to keep pushing themselves further than they ever thought they could.

I've got addicted to ice skating over the last 5 months of my life, I genuinely find being on ice to be one of the most relaxing yet fun things I ever find myself doing, and ever since coming into uni almost 2 months ago now, I immediately joined the ice skating society and started routinely skating twice a week in hopes of getting to a decent level at figure skating... sorry for the needless exposition, but I think it's cause of that that I enjoyed watching this video so much. Genuinely the drive showed by Michelle, the highs and lows, the supportive instructors and the excellence of the progress had me elated when she won that silver 😭😭😭, 4 year old video yet it inspires me so much today, love to see it

This was an amazing challenge and literally made me cry at the end when you achieved a second. You looked beautiful and taught me so much. I am on my own challenge right now... trying to regain confidence in horse riding, and 'save' a horse who has been deemed dangerous. it's something I use to do so easily, but after a serioius fall from another horse... I lost all the confidence in myself and fear has set in. I fell from a horse about 8 years ago, was in ICU and lost all my confidence to compete, or even ride a horse again. It's been a long slow and hard journey to get back to even getting ON a horse, where as I use to be fearless! and ride even the most difficult and troublesome horses, often fixing their problems and sometimes saving their lives! But ... now... it's hard for me to even ride an easy horse.

Going everyday training does help a lot too. I hope you continue figure skating lessons it was fabulous. What an amazing experience you must of had training with these coaches.

Just saying Michelle makes me wanna just do something I have never done before! She is inspiring and I wish I had that confidence. Yes she may doubt her skills sometimes but she always pulls through. I had just watched one of her videos where she was trying out for the UK cheer team. I was flabbergasted!! She was so amazing compared to the others who have done this since they could walk! She first impressed me when I saw her become a butler. I knew she was doing amazing things on her channel and it all leads to this point in time. I’ve seen her face many challenges, and conjure them with all the power in her body. She is a very strong individual and I definitely see her as a idol. Michelle, is you ever see this comment I want you to know you are doing amazing and I love your videos, you’re smile when you get to do these amazing things just makes my day.
