| Some Questions and Answers From Interview June 2003 |
| Typical day? Tyler: Skate in the morning, summer the latest is 8 or 9 in the morning, we spend 4 hours a day on the ice, Tara: we do an hour a day at the gym, we do pilates, ballet Tyler: we do like body pump classes and cycle classes, pilates is great, its amazing how it affects your balance. Tara: pilates helps with core strength, the lady who does it with us is great Tyler: ballet instructor? yeah we have this woman, she’s Russian. Tara: …she’s disciplined, we haven’t been doing that recently because of my hip injury this season, it happened last year before Canadians, I was skating backwards with Tyler and john Maddidal and Tara Finlay hit me and I didn’t get my hands out in time and I went straight down on my butt and I was off ice for a month and a half…and I had an mri done, everything done, every time I extended my leg back, it was excruciating painful, I started losing a lot of muscle mass in my leg, the ballet really irritates it, it was an over use injury, it was something I hurt the ligaments and it didn’t heal properly so it was getting worse…. |
 |
| Tyler: I did more off ice than on ice for a while, I took some time off too. | |
| School? Tyler: I’m currently in biology but I’m trying to switch into business. Tara: French hoping to become a French teacher. | |
| How do you juggle school and skating? Tyler: it’s really hard with the drive, it’s tedious - 45 minutes to have to drive for an hour class and turn around and come right back. Tara: my life is skating, my motivation is skating, the way I eat, the amount I work out, everything is to make my skating better so to try and get motivated for school is difficult…the drive makes it even more difficult to get there, we don’t have any friends there, we just go to school and leave…it is, its like a city, its huge Tyler: its hard for a skater to have friends…the residence is empty, its like a commuter city, everybody just drives in for classes, my classes have 500 people, our labs are smaller. | |
| Outside of skating, I am a unbelievably family oriented person, so I look up to my mom a great deal and my older a sister a great deal they are my best friends both of them so, just because of the sport I’m in it’s hard to make friends outside of the sport. They are my crutch and my support and everything. Tyler: I don’t really have one outside of skating, there’s a lot of people I look up to and admire, anyone who has had success with a career and a happy family, for instance, Lauren Senft’s father, he’s a role model because he has a fantastic job and they are multi millionaires and they have an absolutely perfect family situation, I don’t think there’s ever a tear shed, to me he’s a very positive guy, he’s a role model. | |
| If you could have any job you wanted, what would it be? Tara: anything with young children, I adore young children - I’d like to be an elementary school teacher. Tyler: I want to get into PR advertising, not necessarily for skating, just in general, but I want to judge skating forever, I had a big push from a few different judges that were asked, they sort of suggested it, and I started doing the evaluating, the non competitive stuff, I did that for a while, there’s a scholarship program for people going through, you had to be a certain level, then you could apply for it and get money for university, that was sort of another incentive. | |
| Judging (Tyler) - what discipline do you favor? I judge singles so much more than dance. I’m more comfortable doing it, there’s a million singles events and only a couple of dance events, so….I do it all fairly well, I’m furthest behind in pairs right now, just because I want to do international judging and they wont promote me to that unless you do all disciplines right now…. | |
|
How do you not blame each other when a fall occurs? A fall in dance doesn’t really mean all that much…I guess in a compulsory dance it would be a big factor, but….we just try not to ruin the program because you are going to be a lot lower if you let it go downhill from there, you kind of pretend it didn’t happen. Plus a lot of the time, as a team, a fall isn’t not necessarily one person’s fault, whether it s Tyler or me, it’s always “we fell”, not “why did you fall”, the blame’s never put on one person. |
