I used to have terrible tantrums. I was temperamental when I was younger. Actually, what I needed was a swift kick in the pants. What a brat!

I was really a spoiled brat when I was a kid skating. Meals are cooked for you, you are driven to the rink, they make costumes for you. Your parents sit around and watch admiringly while you skate. You don't have to think about anything but skating. You're just plain spoiled.

We needed a kick in the pants. When you?re going like that, almost a third of the way into the season, something has to happen, and it has to happen quick.

Because of the efforts the players needed a little kick in the pants after the match. Hopefully it woke them up a bit.

Let me just tell you, it's a kick in the pants.

I didn't study dance. I had some ballet lessons because I needed it for posture and for my arms, mostly. My skating coach said I really needed it, from the belly button up, as opposed to the footwork. In skating, the shoes don't move.
