She is 100-percent committed to her sport. She is as devoted as any instructor of any sport would want their student to be. All my students, along with Nikki, are like my kids and I'm as dedicated to them as they are to me.

Even though she didn't qualify, she was still so happy with her ride and will go to the championships as a room with another student. She still has a lot of exciting things ahead of her in the upcoming season so I know she will really be looking forward to that.

I go to support her at every show and as a trainer, we can coach all the way up until the riders actually enter the start box. Then they are on their own.

I would drive to gigs in my tiny little Fiat. I would shoot up and down the M1 to play at various places.

I guess it's flattering that everyone believed I was those characters, but it also is dehumanizing.

The trumpet is forceful.
