Here is the first entry on the list of my favorite figure skating moments of 2014:

10. The Professional Skaters Association is approved as the coaches education organization by the United States Olympic Committee. Way back in 1992 when I was appointed to the PSA board of directors by then PSA President Kathy Casey this was a primary goal. Both she and Carole Shulman and now Jimmie Santee and subsequent presidents: Bob Mock, Gerry Lane, Cindy Geltz, Robbie Kaine, Kelly Morris-Adair and Angie Riviello-Steffano worked to make this happen. They say change is slow and that may be true but perseverance and diplomacy pays off. Congrats PSA!
