Amber Glenn won’t be holding anything back at NHK Trophy
Though she came home last month from Skate America with a bronze medal, her first Grand Prix medal of her career, Amber Glenn acknowledges she made some mistakes.
“Winning a Grand Prix medal is incredible, but it wasn’t my absolute best performance,” she admitted. “I left out a combo. I didn’t do an extra double toe where I should have because I wanted to try and just stay on my feet and have a good performance.”
But when she competes at her second Grand Prix of the season this week in Sapporo, Japan, hoping to possibly qualify for the Grand Prix Final, the 23-year-old from Plano, Texas is hoping to build upon her performances from Skate America, but this time, she won’t be holding anything back.
“I’m not playing it as safe as I did at Skate America,” Glenn told Figure Skaters Online Nov. 2. “At NHK (Trophy), I’m just going to really try and go all out.”
“So far this season, I’ve had pretty decent free skates, but they’ve all been safe and I haven’t gone quite all out like I know I can,” she added. “So that’s really just what my goal is to try and get out of my comfort zone a little bit. It’s gonna be hard, but I will try my best.”
