Dancing With the Stars has certainly become quite the phenomenon, and I know I always find it interesting to hear about the training the stars (and dancers) have to go through in order to pull off those dances each week. Even for professional athletes, learning a whole new skill (and performing it so they can be judged on national TV) is difficult.

Olympian Gold Medalist figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi is currently on Dancing With the Stars, and she's joined with OK! Magazine to blog about her experience. I had hoped for a little more detail on the dancing training itself, but it's still a really interesting read. She's honest about what she finds difficult and what makes her nervous -- tonight she'll be dancing the tango, which is requiring her to bring out more anger than she can easily manage.

Anyone who is a fan of Kristi on the show or simply remembers her Olympic victory will get a kick out of what she has to say.
