Sliding Skeleton: The Dream. US Elite Development Skeleton Athlete, Leisl Soergel, strives to reach her Olympic dreams. Sunday, February 27, 2011. It's been a while since I've blogged. These past two weeks of sliding have certainly diverged from the normal agenda. What did this result in? Tom began the sliding session by 'slingshotting' us down the track. We all had our own ways of 'intimidating' our competition, but I think Mike takes the cake:. Friday the 25th were the Empire State Games, which is New ...

In love with the sport and my curiosity peaked, I made the decision to dedicate the following winter to training on the U.S...Slidi...

Sliding Skeleton: The Dream. US Elite Development Skeleton Athlete, Leisl Soergel, strives to reach her Olympic dreams. Sunday, January 30, 2011. Burn Baby, Burn! Burn Baby, Burn! A great way to sum up this past week of sliding at Mt. Van Hoevenberg Olympic Track. My 'new' OTC iD. This week, the ice was FAST. Track workers spent 23 hours/day (no joke) working on the ice to make sure it was smooth, clean of debris and imperfections, and as cold as could be. This past week though, I finally joined the 'sub...

This season has really flown by. What an incredible journey it's been. with lots of ups, downs, bruises and smiles. On Friday, my mom and sister drove in from Butler to watch and ring their cowbells.

Sliding Skeleton: The Dream. US Elite Development Skeleton Athlete, Leisl Soergel, strives to reach her Olympic dreams. Tuesday, November 30, 2010. The Pursuit of Excellence. What kid doesn't want to be an Olympian? So, in 7th and 8th grade, I had my heart set on becoming a nationally-known runner. I was winning medals, and began decorating my room with quotes, and put my whole heart into the sport. The possibilities seemed to expand into the sky. I hit the peak of my performances as a sophomore, and spe...

In hindsight, did I take advantage of every opportunity that was presented me while here? What are my strengths, and how will I use them to my advantage in the future? Which is why I really want to tha...

Sliding Skeleton: The Dream. US Elite Development Skeleton Athlete, Leisl Soergel, strives to reach her Olympic dreams. Wednesday, April 13, 2011. When I was 15, I would have imagined my life to go like this:. Graduate high school, get into college for teaching, find my future husband, get married, get a great teaching job, get a house, have kids by age 27-29. Do they follow the 'social norm'? If so, do you think you follow this goal because it's what YOU want? Taken from zazzle.com. Some people were tru...
