    Default Figure Skating

    So as many of you may already know i am a figure skater, hoping to compete at olympic level!

    The only problem is i need to be able to train 8 hours a day (roughly) and figure skating itself is a really expensive sport so i need to work to pay the bills.

    I live in Australia and the sport is not that big here and scholarships are based overseas with strict criteria...

    Anyone got any suggestions??

    I hear ya. I'm in the same boat with boxing.
    How often do you compete? Try to get the local press on board. Send the newspaper a brief story any and every time you do anything for your sport. Get your name out to your community. Get the local news to do a story on you. Then once people start to realize that they have a serious athlete in their community, start looking for sponsors.

    yeah thats right with boxing it'd be the same thing!
    I dont compete often at all, last compeition i did was maybe 8 years ago... im on blood thinners (makes it harder now) it is only temporary but i cant compete till im off those. But i like the idea of getting the media involved! I might do some brainstorming with that.
