Summary

Tessa Virtue skated into the hearts of people around the world when she became the youngest ice dance champion in Olympic history at the 2010 games alongside her on-ice partner, Scott Moir. The winner of three Olympic gold medals — and five Olympic medals in total — she is the most decorated female figure skater in Olympic history AND she knows all about the mental game of sport. Tessa shares what it was like entering a competitive sport at a young age, how her parents supported her, and if she ever wanted to quit (her answer may surprise you). We loved Tessa's insight on competitive sports and the takeaways from her personal experiences. Follow Tessa at https://www.instagram.com/tessavirtue17/.
