This past weekend marked the culmination of Special Olympics' winter season. State Games were held all over Anchorage with figure skating taking place Saturday at Dimond Ice Chalet. As the Head Coach for Anchorage's skating delegation, State Games is always one of my favorite parts of our season. It's so great to get to celebrate the progress all the skaters have made throughout the season. 
The athletes work hard at our weekly practices and demonstrate perseverance and determination to overcome the obstacles presented by their disabilities. For five years I've had the opportunity to coach these amazing and inspiring athletes and I've never worked with a more rewarding group of skaters in all the years I've been involved with skating. My Special Olympics skaters are so grateful to have the opportunity to skate and full of such joy and delight it's contagious.
