It's a whole different perspective than novice or junior. You see how much they put into it. And that they, too, have their problems. In fact Currie, DeRosa's teammate at the Royal Glenora, almost packed it in after failing to make it to Canadians two years ago. It's a great perspective.
Some years are bad, some days are bad.
You just have to try and keep it in perspective. DeRosa, who graduated from J.L. Crowe High in Trail, learned her skating from Maureen Elliott. She says all I wanted to do was spin, that I didn't listen to her at all. But she's been really great about letting me come up to Edmonton. Jocelyn's not the first athlete in the family.
