I talk to International Medalist Hannah Miller about her skating experiences: An athletic and artistic skater, she was Novice Champion with a lot of promise, and decided to relocate for skating after turning 18 -- she moved to LA to train with coach Rafael Arutyunyan in the hopes of improving her technique and progressing her skating. We discuss her experience in LA regarding training, environment, social life, support system, and her eventual decision to move back home. Now obtaining her master's degree in Sports Psychology, she shares her story of struggles with body image and other mental issues stemmed from skating, dismantling that and learning to accept yourself, and advice to young skaters as well as retired ones.
