Training Expenses - Marissa/Mervin
Donation protected
Thank you so much for visiting our page. Together we are the 2016 U.S National Pairs Bronze Medalist. This Go Fund Me page is dedicated to our training expenses for the 2016-2017 season.
We have been skating together since the summer of 2014. We both have years of international and national experience with previous partners. Together we want to push our limits technically and artistically on the ice. Our short term goal is to make the 2017 World Championships and our long term goal is the qualify for the 2022 Olympic Team.
Last season was our first time out on the international scene together. We were happy with our results but we know we can do better. In order to achieve that we need more training. We both have moved from our homes to train in Montreal. Marissa travels back to Rhode Island to coach skating with her mother when she can. Mervin travels from rink to rink on and off the island of Montreal throughout the week to coach. We both are juggling responsibilities of skating, training, and financial needs.
Training at this elite level is a full-time comitment. To be a top level competitor it takes many hours on and off the ice of training. This schedule can become very taxing on our bodies and our budgets. Our training expenses includes coaching, choreography, ice-time, gym/trainer, off-ice classes (pilates, yoga etc..) and medical (physio/massage therapy etc..). We both want to continue training at a high caliber but, we will need some help. Currently we have limited our training expenses in order to save for the upcoming season.
Please consider supporting us as we strive to reach our potential on the national and international scene. We love figure skating and would like to achieve our full potential. Thank you so much for taking time to visit our page.
Please feel free to ask us any questions and we will try to give you the best answers.
