Back to the grind
7/23/2010
Today is my first full day off in weeks and it’s hugely appreciated. Spring was a breath of fresh air after the intensity of the 2010 season, but as usual, it was fleeting and quickly the weekly grind started back up. There must be something I love about packing each day with activities, because I always seem to come back to it, I guess I find it comforting to be constantly on the move.

Hello from Park City! First of all, I hope you have been following my journey to the Olympics on my facebook fan page and on twitter.

To follow my journey, please check in here at my facebook page: www.facebook.com/emilycook2010 and or on twitter: www.twitter.com/emilycook I’ll do my best to update here as well, but if you’re interested in the day to day action, I’m more reliable there.

China World Cup
12/19/2009
Hello everyone, I only have a minute to write, as it's 4:15 am in China and I am preparing for World Cup number two this morning. I wanted to update quickly on yesterday though before heading out for another, since it will surely be another long day and tonight we will begin our journey back to the US for the Olympic Trial in Steamboat. I jumped well yesterday, but unfortunately did not compete perfectly, landing me in 8th place for the day. For the first event of the season, this is not incredibly disappointing, but also is not the finish I am looking for. My jumps were both very nice in the air, and I had small mistakes on the landings, finishing one in a deep squat and touching a hand to the snow on the other. However, coming out of the gate and competing well with my highest degree of difficulty is an awesome starts to the season, and I am again confident that I will continue to improve these tricks and land on the podium again soon. I'm feeling well this morning and ready to go out there and give everything I have again. Thanks for reading today and check back in soon for an update on China World Cup number two. Love, Emily

Quick update from China
12/16/2009
Hello everyone, Not much time to write today, as I'm leaving from the hill pretty quickly this morning, but I wanted to write and let you know that the site is great and jumping went very well yesterday. Unfortunately getting there and back takes three hours in a bus, so being the late group yesterday and early today, we're definitely on the move. But all is well and I'm happy, healthy and getting myself prepared for the first World Cup of the season in a few days. Thanks for reading again today. Love, Emily

Are Athletes Obligated?
12/15/2009
This month I was asked to participate in an online conversation: Do professional athletes have an obligation to give back to their communities? I have posted some of my response here, along with a quick preview of the campaign that I will be starting this week. I am so excited about this campaign because it will directly benefit the programs that I visited in Jordan this April, and many of the 2 million refugees living there! I am so thankful to have this opportunity, and hope that many of you will have the chance to contribute directly or by spreading the word to your friends and families. It's also a "race" between well-known athletes and the person who raises the most money gets a big bonus to his or her charity, so help me to the finish line by reading on! The campaign starts tomorrow, so I'll make sure to send updates and links here.

China arrival
12/14/2009
Hello everyone, Well, our team made it safely and comfortably to China! After a 37 hour travel day, we have settled down in our hotel in Changchun and will begin our training tomorrow morning. Today the coaches will go to the hill and make sure the site is perfect and we will have a day to rest, workout acclimate and get ready for the first world cup of the season. For those of you who follow me on facebook and twitter, I apologize, but it looks like I don't have access to either of those sites from here. So, check in to this web site for quick updates throughout the week. I'm feeling slightly jet-lagged, but had a great night of sleep last night and am confident that I will be rested and ready to go by tomorrow morning when we head to the hill. Best wishes and thanks for reading today. Love, Emily

Fall 2009 Update

It’s been quite a while since I have updated here on my web site, so I hope than many of you are following along on either twitter or facebook. With life so busy, it is often much easier to send out a one line update from my phone than it is to sit at the computer and try to catch up on two months away from the web site. So, check out the links at the bottom of this update, and follow along there as well. And no worries, you do not need to have a facebook account to follow along on my fan page there!
