To prep for the upcoming 2024-25 season, Parsons spent April to June at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado rehabbing a hip injury, while Green worked on her own at their home base in Michigan.
“A lot of [that time] was taking the time to reconnect with my own love for skating, outside of our partnership,” Green said. While it wasn’t something she had been previously struggling with, she added, “I’m in a much better place now than I was toward the end of last season.”
“Funny enough, I had always really loved this piece of music [“Spiegel im Spiegel”] for myself,” said Baker, who only two seasons ago was competing with partner Kaitlin Hawayek against Green and Parsons.
Baker began by asking Green and Parsons a question: If you were to watch yourselves at the World Championships, how would you want to see yourselves? He borrowed the method from his own coach, which inspired a few adjectives that provided the shape and direction of the choreography.
“I like to ask a lot of questions rather than say, ‘Do this step, do that step,’” Baker said. “I challenged them to dive into more of who they are and who they want to become on and off the ice. And how they want to be perceived and how they want to leave themselves in the sport whenever they decide to depart. I think that allowing their truest self to come through is my biggest attribute into what they’re performing.”
