Before the national titles and triple Axels, the gold medals, the Blade Angels trio and stepping onto Olympic ice, Amber Glenn just wanted to make it to the next day.
She calls that time a personal low point: dealing with depression, anxiety and an eating disorder at age 15. Glenn stepped away from the sport, unsure if she would skate again. She spent six days at an in-patient treatment facility, departed for the Autumn Classic in Canada—her senior international debut—and then didn’t return to competition for almost a year. She continued with therapy and reconnected with friends and family. She wanted a future again.
