Behind Sammie’s flowing
moves and artistic presentation lie many, many hours of hard
training and grueling travel time….time spent away from her home and
her dad, Ashley. Leaving each week from Bedford, VA, Sammie makes
the 4-hour trip with her mom to Reston, VA, where she works with her
coaches, Serguei and Noelle Kouznetsov, her moves coach, Vasily
Serkov, and her choreographer who must travel from New York to work
with Sammie.
Training to a qualifying level, such as Sammie has, takes an
enormous amount of time, effort and financial support…..families of
figure skaters take on thousands of dollars in coaching, ice time,
costuming, choreography, travel, and competition fees each year.
Most families begin by supporting their young skaters on their own,
but expenses can quickly eclipse budgets, making it hard to keep
dedicated young athletes on the path toward their dreams.
This is where YOU can help!.....help keep Sammie on her chosen path
by becoming a part of her sponsor “family”……you can contact her
directly via this website’s email address or simply phone her family
at 540-556-6649
if you need more information. Also, the United
States Figure Skating Association website
www.usfsa.org
has an entire section dedicated to sponsorship opportunities and we
encourage you to reference this material to help you with your
choice.
Again, please be assured ANY amount of support is gratefully and
humbly accepted and will be used strictly to support training and
travel expenses incurred with Sammie’s figure skating.
