campulk Not the skate I wanted, however, I qualified for the junior Grand Prix final for the second year straight! Thank you Ostrava and to everyone for the incredible support 😊
coachtomz So proud of @campulk for his second career #jgp win. He showed great mental toughness as he battled a sinus infection all week. When he finished competing and we were walking to the kiss and cry I told him that it didn't matter if he won today because he had already won the battle of resilience. #JGPLinz #jgpfigure#jgpfigure2018 #jgplinz2018@isufigureskating @usfigureskating@theskatinglesson @rockerskating
campulk Grateful / thankful for all of the support♥️ Thank you @skateaustria@isufigureskating for a fantastic event, and thank you to all the competitors for a tough competition! Onwards we go😎
In one word, I would describe last season as the word “statement.” I feel like I emerged out of my shell and accomplished many achievements. I had so many break through moments throughout the season. Last season, I was most proud of earning the silver medal at the JGP (Junior Grand Prix) Final. Up until that point, even making the Final was a dream to me. I made the dream a reality and walked away with a medal.

Stéphane is absolutely stunning. He really inspired me to recreate myself as an artist. The kind of choreographer that he is is that he could truly skate to any piece of music and make it seem like the music comes from his soul. I was given this opportunity during the off-season (to work with him) and wanted to work with him because I watched a few videos of him skate and I fell in love with his style and the flair he brought to the ice.

I want to master all of the quads. However, I know that will take time. Though this season I plan to add a quad, or two, depending on how the training goes on them. Nowadays, skating has become a game of quads, and to compete with the top seniors next season, I will need not one, but multiple quads.
