Explain the feeling you had the first time you put on skates.
The first time I put on skates, I was 4 years old. I started because my mom was afraid I would get hurt if I fell. My coach, Aurélie Duchemin, immediately took me under her wing. I was her first Baby Roller ! And I wanted to go as fast as possible
