"When he skated, I watched in awe," Weinstein recalls of his coach. "When I was 12, during Olympic trials, he wrote my workout program. From then on, we started working together."

The future holds enormous promise for Weinstein. Although the World Championships are his priority now, the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah already looms in the distance.

"The goal is to make the Olympic team," he says. "And then to look towards the Games after that."

The potential for Weinstein's success also extends to the entire national team. With skaters ranging in age from 17 to 22 years of age, the U.S., as it gains more experience will likely be a potent force in front of the patriotic crowd.

With each passing day, Weinstein only gets stronger as a skater. He has a distinct size advantage which affords him power, explosive speed, and a commanding presence in the lane.

However when asked about his strengths as a skater, Weinstein is quick to point out the importance of those around him.
