This has been my main mistake for recent years. Generally, the performance was on B-. Such a working, competitive skates …

I try not to think about last season. This one I’ve started from scratch. I don’t think about past. I’m not guessing what will happen next. I just need to move on, to start each season from scratch. It’s an axiom. Indeed, no matter how good the season was, but it has already passed, and everything starts all over again …

Too bad that Mikhail doesn’t understand that he’s already grew out of such programs…..That he deserves a better choreography, that if he want to be competitive on international scene he needs to gain some gloss, to have more “expensive” choreo…….Such style was ok for his first season in seniors – to get remembered, but he needs to move forward, to develop as a skater.
