Coincidentally, I was a figure skating instructor--I know what you're
saying, but I also believe it's possible to be competent, "sharp", on
guard, and alert and also not really "like" being there. IOW, I don't
believe a person has to say he/she *likes* being there in order to know
the limits or be competent at the edge of the envelope.

Unbelievable! I was a Delaware Maryland State and Eastern Regional Speed
Skating Champion (RSROA 1955) Skated Free Style and Dance as well :-))
