Hey, @tessavirtue and @MarciaMacMillan! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👋" title="Waving hand" aria-label="Emoji: Waving hand"> #WomenOfInfluence
Tessa just said that she took three months off from working out and now she’s started working out again with her sister and she says she feels a lot more invigorated.
Aww, @tessavirtue just brought up @s_killingwood and credited her for helping her and Scott Moir to really create boundaries and establish their connection after not really speaking to each other for the first year of their partnership. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❀" title="Rotes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Herz"> #WomenOfInfluence
Tessa Virtue on if she misses Scott Moir now: “Oh yeah, yeah. I do. It’s strange, but we will always have that bond. Only Scott really knows who I was in those two decades.” #WomenOfInfluence
Tessa Virtue: “We really lucked out with our coaching staff, especially in MontrĂ©al. They provided our service needs for anything off the ice, & it was collaborative & creative and it all felt like we were on this mission together. That was really exhilarating.” #WomenofInfluence
Loved this mantra that Tessa just shared from her competitive career:

Face
Everything
And
Rise

Reframing the word “FEAR” really helped her overcome her biggest worries and struggles.

Man, Tessa has brought up everyone from Suzanne Killing-Wood to Marina Zoueva to Marie-France Dubreuil/Patrice Lauzon/B2ten. Talk about a walk down memory lane! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😳" title="Errötetes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Errötetes Gesicht"> #WomenOfInfluence
Tessa Virtue on going into the iconic PyeongChang free dance: “We knew the judges really wanted to put us second, third or even fourth if they had the chance. We weren’t supposed to win.” https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👀" title="Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Augen"> #WomenOfInfluence
So
 Tessa just said that Scott told her, “Look, kiddo, this is what we asked for,” right before their free dance in PyeongChang.
Tessa Virtue on the PyeongChang free dance: “It felt just so right. I think it was that we weren’t struggling to feel any one thing. We were in the moment. We weren’t trying to defend our title.” #WomenOfInfluence
Tessa Virtue on her decision to retire w/ Scott Moir last year: “I think we lost a bit of that drive to push ourselves in the show realm, which was really fulfilling on the business end. But I preferred more the negotiating end of the tour than the skating end.“ #WomenOfInfluence
Tessa Virtue has said in the past that she didn’t want to skate anymore if she couldn’t do it at her best, so she felt it was time to explore new things by retiring with Scott Moir on their own terms. She didn’t want to be “stuck in the red [MR] dress forever.” #WomenOfInfluence
Tessa Virtue said that she saw the relationship between the Smith School of Business and the Canadian Olympic Team and it just seemed like a natural fit to earn her MBA with that program. She also says that their online program is leading the way with the access that they give.
Tessa Virtue: “I want every young girl and woman out there to feel like they can chase their dreams and be unapologetic about it.” https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👏" title="Applaus-Zeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Applaus-Zeichen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👏" title="Applaus-Zeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Applaus-Zeichen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👏" title="Applaus-Zeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Applaus-Zeichen"> #WomenOfInfluence
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: I could listen to Tessa Virtue read a phone book and I would still be riveted. It has been so, so great to hear her voice again and to hear all of her incredible insight from all her years on the ice and now in business. #WomenOfInfluence
