of Worlds. For one parent, the highlight of the week was watching the Winterland team cheer on their friends as well as other competitors. Having her daughter compete at Worlds heightened her perspective of just how universal the love of ice skating is around the world.
Coaches juggled putting 61 skaters on the ice and completing
judging assignments, working together to ensure all skater’ needs were met. Teamwork is a priority for our organization, and ISI Worlds was an opportunity for our teamwork to shine!
With only a 90-minute commute to the rink, travel was
uncomplicated. We planned an overnight the day before team/ production numbers, when most of the skaters would be competing. Te overnight provided an opportunity for parents to socialize and for skaters to deepen their bonds and foster team spirit and camaraderie.

“Amazing,” “Awesome,” and “Fun” were just a few of the words
used by our skaters to describe their experiences. Meeting skaters from across the nation and around the world was an incredible memory for them and one they (and their parents) will share with new skaters entering our program. Our young team made lifelong memories, and we look forward to another ISI national event.
Mary Sullivan is the owner and director of Winterland Skating School in Rockland, Mass.
